Working in Halesowen

We work right across Halesowen — B62, B63 and B64 — and in neighbouring Bartley Green and Brierley Hill.

In Halesowen, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Halesowen get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. We survey Halesowen bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

Hardness differs from one part of the West Midlands to the next. 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 shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
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.

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.
