Working in Mexborough

We cover every part of Mexborough, including S62, S63 and S64, and nearby Wath upon Dearne (2.3 miles) and Conisbrough (2.6 miles).

Mexborough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Mexborough bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. We survey Mexborough bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

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
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

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 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.

Is the home survey in Mexborough really free?

Do you cover S62 in Mexborough?

Can you have a normal plug socket in a bathroom?

Only if it is at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1, which rules it out in most UK bathrooms. The exception is a shaver supply unit, which has an isolating transformer and is designed for bathrooms. It should sit away from direct spray.
