Working in Sleaford

In Sleaford we cover NG34; we also cover Grantham, 11.4 miles away, and Boston.

Sleaford gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Sleaford, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. We survey Sleaford bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

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

Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling

Decisions to make first

Integrated or replaceable LED

Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.

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.

What colour light is best for a bathroom?
