Working in Bloxwich

In Bloxwich we cover WS2, WS3 and WV12; we also cover Walsall, 2.4 miles away, and Great Wyrley.

In Bloxwich, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Bloxwich 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 Bloxwich, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. 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
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

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.

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.
