In Bury St Edmunds, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Bury St Edmunds get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. Bathroom lighting in Bury St Edmunds is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.
Water across much of Suffolk is very hard. 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
- Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
- IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
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.
