Working in Newton-le-Willows
We work right across Newton-le-Willows — WA2, WA3 and WA12 — and in neighbouring Golborne and Ashton in Makerfield.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Newton-le-Willows: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Newton-le-Willows bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Newton-le-Willows, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.
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
- 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
- Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
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.
Switching
A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.
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.
