Working in Market Harborough
In Market Harborough we cover LE16; we also cover Corby, 9.8 miles away, and Kettering.
Market Harborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey Market Harborough bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. If your Market Harborough bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.
Supplies across most of Northamptonshire are 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
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
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.
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.
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.
