Working in Leatherhead

As well as Leatherhead itself (KT21 and KT22), we survey in Epsom, Cobham and Dorking.

In Leatherhead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Leatherhead get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. Bathroom lighting in Leatherhead is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.

Water across much of Surrey is 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

IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling

Decisions to make first

Integrated or replaceable LED

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

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.

Is the home survey in Leatherhead really free?

Do you cover KT21 and KT22 in Leatherhead?

Can I have an illuminated mirror in a bathroom?

Yes. Illuminated mirrors made for bathrooms carry an IP rating for the zone they sit in and connect to an RCD-protected supply, usually switched with the room lights or by a sensor on the mirror. The cable position is set before tiling so the connection is hidden behind the glass.
