Working in Wolverhampton

We work right across Wolverhampton — WV1, WV2, WV3 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Willenhall and Tipton.

In a city the size of Wolverhampton, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For Wolverhampton homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. We survey Wolverhampton bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

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

Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
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

Decisions to make first

Colour temperature

Warm white, around 3000 K, feels softer; cool white, around 4000 K, is crisper for shaving and make-up. Mixing the two in one room looks uneven.

Integrated or replaceable LED

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

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.

How long does new bathroom lighting take?

Can you have a normal plug socket in a bathroom?

Only if it is at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1, which rules it out in most UK bathrooms. The exception is a shaver supply unit, which has an isolating transformer and is designed for bathrooms. It should sit away from direct spray.
