Who books lighting work
People book Lighting Electrical when a room is too dark, a fitting has failed, or a kitchen, bathroom or shop needs a new set of lights.
- Downlights for a kitchenHomeowners in Stanway and Witham ask us to replace a single pendant with downlights so worktops and the hob are properly lit.
- Outdoor lights for a houseHouseholders in West Mersea, Wivenhoe and Brightlingsea book a porch, path or garden light after a dark winter or a broken wall lantern.
- Shop and office lightingTraders in Maldon, Tiptree and Kelvedon call when a unit needs new fittings after a refit, or when old fluorescent tubes have failed.
- Lights for a rental propertyLandlords in Coggeshall, Marks Tey and Dedham book replacements between tenancies so every room has a working fitting before the next tenant arrives.
What happens on the day
We arrive, isolate the lighting circuit, fit the new lights and leave you with working switches.
- Arrival and isolationWe check the rooms on the job, isolate the lighting circuit at the fuse board and confirm which fittings are coming out and which are going in.
- Fitting the lightsWe cut or reuse the ceiling holes, run any extra cable needed, fix each fitting and connect the switch or dimmer for that circuit.
- Test and certificateWe power the circuit back up, test each light, tidy the ceiling and issue a minor works certificate when the work needs one.

“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.”

WhatsAppHow much does a downlight cost?
Downlight installation starts from £65 per fitting. A kitchen or landing with several holes, fire rated cans or a new cable run is quoted in writing first.
Do you fit outdoor lights?
Yes. We fit porch lanterns, wall lights and garden fittings on houses in Peterborough, West Mersea, Wivenhoe and Brightlingsea, using weatherproof glands and a switched supply.
Will you take the old fittings away?
Yes. Pendants, downlights and wall lights we remove leave with us unless you want to keep a shade or a decorative fitting.
Do new lights need a certificate?
A like for like swap on an existing circuit often needs a minor works certificate from £95. A new lighting circuit or work in a bathroom may also need notifying. We are registered with NAPIT for that work.
Can you use lights I have already bought?
Yes, if the fitting is suitable for the ceiling and the circuit. Bring the make and wattage to the quote so we can check the cut out, the fire rating and the driver.
