Across a large town like Worthing, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Bathroom lighting in Worthing is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. We survey Worthing bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

Water across much of West Sussex is 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

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
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray

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.

Do I need an electrician to change a bathroom light?

Swapping a fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet the zone and IP rules. Anything new, such as an extra light, a moved switch or a new circuit, is notifiable in England and Wales and should be done by a registered electrician. Given the water risk, an electrician is the sensible choice for any bathroom lighting.
