Working in Sunbury-on-Thames
As well as Sunbury-on-Thames itself (KT12, TW16 and TW17), we survey in Walton-on-Thames, West Molesey and Ashford.
In Sunbury-on-Thames, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Bathroom lighting in Sunbury-on-Thames is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. We survey Sunbury-on-Thames bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.
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
- 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 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
Switching
A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.
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.
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.
