Working in Auchterarder

We work right across Auchterarder — PH3 — and in neighbouring Crieff and Perth.

Auchterarder gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Auchterarder homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Landlords in Auchterarder get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.

Supplies across most of Perth and Kinross are soft. 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
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower

Decisions to make first

Switching

A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.

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.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland has no Part P. Bathroom lighting must meet the building standards and BS 7671, including RCD protection and the zone rules, and small like-for-like work does not normally need a building warrant.
