Working in Littlehampton

We work right across Littlehampton — BN17 — and in neighbouring Bognor Regis and Worthing.

In Littlehampton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Littlehampton get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Littlehampton, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.

Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. 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

Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

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.

Usually outside the door, or inside as a ceiling pull-cord. Ordinary wall switches are kept out of the bathroom zones, and a pull-cord keeps the switch itself out of reach of wet hands.
