Working in East Molesey

As well as East Molesey itself (KT7, KT8 and TW12), we survey in West Molesey, Esher and Surbiton.

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

Supplies across most of Surrey are 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

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
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket

Decisions to make first

Downlight positions

Evenly spaced downlights give flat, general light. Placing one over the shower and one over the basin puts the light where you actually use it.

Switching

A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.

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.

What IP rating do bathroom lights need?

It depends on the zone. Lights inside the bath or shower tray (zone 0) need IPX7; above the bath or shower up to 2.25 m (zone 1) they need at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used; within 0.6 m of that (zone 2) IPX4 is recommended. Many electricians fit IP65 downlights over a shower whatever the ceiling height. See our bathroom zones guide.
