Working in Newark on Trent
As well as Newark on Trent itself (NG24), we survey in Grantham, Arnold and Nottingham.
In Newark on Trent, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Newark on Trent bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. Landlords in Newark on Trent get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.
Water across much of Nottinghamshire 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
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Decisions to make first
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.
Mirror lighting
An illuminated mirror or mirror cabinet lights the face from the front, which a ceiling light cannot do. Many include a demister pad and a shaver socket.
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.
