Working in Great Yarmouth
We work right across Great Yarmouth — NR29, NR30 and NR31 — and in neighbouring Norwich and East Dereham.
Homes in and around Great Yarmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Great Yarmouth bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. For Great Yarmouth homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.
Water across much of Norfolk is very 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
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
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.
