Working in Evesham

In Evesham we cover WR11; we also cover Tewkesbury, 11.3 miles away, and Stratford-upon-Avon.

In Evesham, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are refitting a windowless bathroom in Evesham, the lighting is planned with the extractor fan so the two work together. Bathroom lighting in Evesham is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.

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

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
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket

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 Evesham?

Who handles building control for new bathroom lighting in Evesham?

Building control for Evesham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do bathroom downlights need to be fire-rated?

Where the ceiling has to resist fire, for example between flats, under a converted loft or in a three-storey house, cutting a hole for a downlight breaks that protection, so a fire-rated downlight or a fire hood is used. In other ceilings it is not required, though fire-rated fittings are a common choice anyway.
