Shoreham-by-Sea gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote.

Landlords in Shoreham-by-Sea get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.
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
- A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
- Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
- A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
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.
