Being a smaller town does not change how we work in West Molesey: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in West Molesey, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. For West Molesey 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

RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

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.

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

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 water hard in West Molesey?

Who handles building control for new bathroom lighting in West Molesey?

Building control for West Molesey is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
