Working in Grimsby

As well as Grimsby itself (DN31, DN32 and DN34), we survey in Cleethorpes, Louth and Kingston upon Hull.

Across a large town like Grimsby, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For Grimsby homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. If your Grimsby bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

Water across much of Lincolnshire is hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights

Decisions to make first

Downlight positions

Evenly spaced downlights give flat, general light. Placing one over the shower and one over the basin puts the light where you actually use it.

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

Rules that apply in England

In England, Part P makes a new circuit, a consumer unit replacement and any addition or alteration to circuits in a room with a bath or shower notifiable. The work must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. Replacing a light fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet BS 7671.

Do I need an electrician to change a bathroom light?

Swapping a fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet the zone and IP rules. Anything new, such as an extra light, a moved switch or a new circuit, is notifiable in England and Wales and should be done by a registered electrician. Given the water risk, an electrician is the sensible choice for any bathroom lighting.
