Working in Heckmondwike

As well as Heckmondwike itself (WF13, WF15 and WF16), we survey in Liversedge, Batley and Cleckheaton.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Heckmondwike: free survey, written quote, one team. For Heckmondwike homes with a loft above the bathroom, the insulation and fire protection are checked before any downlights are cut in. Landlords in Heckmondwike get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.

Water across much of West Yorkshire is 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 ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower

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.

Is the water hard in Heckmondwike?

Can you have a normal plug socket in a bathroom?

Only if it is at least 3 m from the edge of zone 1, which rules it out in most UK bathrooms. The exception is a shaver supply unit, which has an isolating transformer and is designed for bathrooms. It should sit away from direct spray.
