Working in Kingswinford

We work right across Kingswinford — DY5, DY6 and DY8 — and in neighbouring Brierley Hill and Stourbridge.

Kingswinford gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Kingswinford, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. For Kingswinford homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in.

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

Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance

Decisions to make first

Integrated or replaceable LED

Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.

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 you have a normal plug socket in a bathroom?
