Working in Golborne

As well as Golborne itself (WA3, WA12 and WN4), we survey in Newton-le-Willows, Ashton in Makerfield and Leigh.

Golborne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Bathroom lighting in Golborne is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. We survey Golborne bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

Decisions to make first

Colour temperature

Warm white, around 3000 K, feels softer; cool white, around 4000 K, is crisper for shaving and make-up. Mixing the two in one room looks uneven.

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.

Can I have an illuminated mirror in a bathroom?

Yes. Illuminated mirrors made for bathrooms carry an IP rating for the zone they sit in and connect to an RCD-protected supply, usually switched with the room lights or by a sensor on the mirror. The cable position is set before tiling so the connection is hidden behind the glass.
