Working in Morley

As well as Morley itself (LS11, LS27 and WF17), we survey in Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike.

Homes in and around Morley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Morley get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records. If your Morley bathroom has one central light, adding downlights and a mirror light is usually the change you notice most.

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
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion

Decisions to make first

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.

Feature lighting

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

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 home survey in Morley 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.

Do you cover LS11 in Morley?

Yes. We cover all of Morley, including LS11, LS27 and WF17, and nearby Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can I have an illuminated mirror in a bathroom?

Yes. Illuminated mirrors made for bathrooms carry an IP rating for the zone they sit in and connect to an RCD-protected supply, usually switched with the room lights or by a sensor on the mirror. The cable position is set before tiling so the connection is hidden behind the glass.
