Working in Coventry

Coventry is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Coventry, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. Bathroom lighting in Coventry is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.

Water hardness varies across the West Midlands: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. 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

A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

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.

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.

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.
