Working in Clevedon

In Clevedon we cover BS21; we also cover Nailsea, 4.3 miles away, and Portishead.

Clevedon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Clevedon homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. We survey Clevedon bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

Most of Somerset has hard water. 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

A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
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
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
