Working in Barnsley

We work right across Barnsley — S63, S70, S71 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Darton and Hoyland Nether.

In Barnsley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Barnsley homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. If your Barnsley bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

Supplies across most of South Yorkshire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray

Decisions to make first

Integrated or replaceable LED

Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.

Feature lighting

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

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.

Where should the light switch go in a bathroom?

Usually outside the door, or inside as a ceiling pull-cord. Ordinary wall switches are kept out of the bathroom zones, and a pull-cord keeps the switch itself out of reach of wet hands.
