“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

Lighting questions in Dedham

Still have a question?

Why are downlights unusual on Dedham High Street?

Those houses have lath and plaster and listed ceilings. Wall lights and pendants light the room without cutting the ceiling.

Can a Brook Street kitchen have downlights?

Yes if it already has plasterboard and the joists leave a void. The front parlour in the same house usually cannot.

How does cable run through a Mill Lane timber frame?

Through existing voids or named surface trunking. There is no continuous void from room to room.

Do riverside studios use the same fittings as the High Street?

No. Studios by the Stour take IP rated fittings. High Street rooms take pendants and wall lights on the listed ceilings.

What does the downlight price cover?

Downlight installation is assessed for the fitting, its electrical connection and the cable access needed. We check the ceiling and supply before quoting the installation work.
