Working in Reigate

We work right across Reigate — RH1, RH2 and RH3 — and in neighbouring Redhill and Horley.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Reigate: free survey, written quote, one team. Bathroom lighting in Reigate is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. For Reigate homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.

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

Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance

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.

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.

Do you cover RH1 in Reigate?

Can you have a normal plug socket in a bathroom?

Only if it is at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1, which rules it out in most UK bathrooms. The exception is a shaver supply unit, which has an isolating transformer and is designed for bathrooms. It should sit away from direct spray.
