Working in Yeadon

We cover every part of Yeadon, including LS18, LS19 and LS20, and nearby Guiseley (1.3 miles) and Horsforth (2.5 miles).

Homes in and around Yeadon vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Bathroom lighting in Yeadon is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Yeadon, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together.

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 lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
RCD protection on the lighting circuit, checked at the consumer unit and added where it is missing
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.

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.

What colour light is best for a bathroom?
