Working in Greenock

We cover every part of Greenock, including PA14, PA15, PA16 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Helensburgh (4.2 miles) and Dunoon (6.4 miles).

Homes in and around Greenock vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Greenock homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Landlords in Greenock get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.

Supplies across most of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde 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

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
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling

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.

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 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.

Do I need an electrician to change a bathroom light?

Swapping a fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet the zone and IP rules. Anything new, such as an extra light, a moved switch or a new circuit, is notifiable in England and Wales and should be done by a registered electrician. Given the water risk, an electrician is the sensible choice for any bathroom lighting.
