Working in Sutton Coldfield
We work right across Sutton Coldfield — B72, B73 and B75 — and in neighbouring Washwood Heath and Aldridge.
Sutton Coldfield has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Sutton Coldfield, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. Bathroom lighting in Sutton Coldfield 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
- Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
- RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
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.
Switching
A pull-cord inside, a switch outside the door or a motion sensor. Dimmers need LED fittings that are compatible with them.
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.
