Working in Leek

In Leek we cover ST13; we also cover Biddulph, 6.4 miles away, and Congleton.

Leek gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Leek, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. If your Leek bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. 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

Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights

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.
