Working in Cannock

In Cannock we cover WS11 and WS12; we also cover Great Wyrley, 2.1 miles away, and Burntwood.

Cannock has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Cannock, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. If your Cannock bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

Supplies across most of Staffordshire 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

IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling

Decisions to make first

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.

Integrated or replaceable LED

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

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.
