Working in Rugby

As well as Rugby itself (CV21 and CV22), we survey in Daventry, Coventry and Bedworth.

Across a large town like Rugby, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Rugby bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Rugby, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.

Supplies across most of Warwickshire are 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

A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance

Decisions to make first

Feature lighting

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

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.

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 CV21 and CV22 in Rugby?

Do I need an electrician to change a bathroom light?

Swapping a fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet the zone and IP rules. Anything new, such as an extra light, a moved switch or a new circuit, is notifiable in England and Wales and should be done by a registered electrician. Given the water risk, an electrician is the sensible choice for any bathroom lighting.
