Working in Frome

As well as Frome itself (BA11), we survey in Westbury, Warminster and Trowbridge.

Homes in and around Frome vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Frome bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. We survey Frome 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
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
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

Decisions to make first

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

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.

Do you cover BA11 in Frome?

Can I have an illuminated mirror in a bathroom?

Yes. Illuminated mirrors made for bathrooms carry an IP rating for the zone they sit in and connect to an RCD-protected supply, usually switched with the room lights or by a sensor on the mirror. The cable position is set before tiling so the connection is hidden behind the glass.
