Working in Bognor Regis

As well as Bognor Regis itself (PO21 and PO22), we survey in Chichester, Littlehampton and Emsworth.

Homes in and around Bognor Regis vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Bognor Regis homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Bathroom lighting in Bognor Regis is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.

Most of West Sussex has hard water. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. 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
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights

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.
