Working in Droitwich

In Droitwich we cover WR9; we also cover Bromsgrove, 6.1 miles away, and Worcester.

Droitwich gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Droitwich, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. We survey Droitwich bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower.

Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket

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.

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.

Can I have an illuminated mirror in a bathroom?
