Working in Cleckheaton

As well as Cleckheaton itself (BD19, WF15 and WF16), we survey in Liversedge, Heckmondwike and Brighouse.

Homes in and around Cleckheaton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Cleckheaton bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Cleckheaton, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.

Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

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
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

Decisions to make first

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

Mirror lighting

An illuminated mirror or mirror cabinet lights the face from the front, which a ceiling light cannot do. Many include a demister pad and a shaver socket.

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.

Who handles building control for new bathroom lighting in Cleckheaton?

How long does new bathroom lighting take?

Is the home survey in Cleckheaton really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

What IP rating do bathroom lights need?

It depends on the zone. Lights inside the bath or shower tray (zone 0) need IPX7; above the bath or shower up to 2.25 m (zone 1) they need at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used; within 0.6 m of that (zone 2) IPX4 is recommended. Many electricians fit IP65 downlights over a shower whatever the ceiling height. See our bathroom zones guide.
