Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Walton-on-Thames: free survey, written quote, one team. For Walton-on-Thames homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Walton-on-Thames, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.
Most of Surrey has hard water. 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
- Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
- A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
