What happens on the day

Every visit is organised to keep your home tidy and minimise disruption to your power supply. We carry out installations systematically from initial isolation through to final verification.

  • Safe electrical isolationOn arrival, we check the workspace and safely isolate the specific lighting circuit at the consumer unit. We use calibrated voltage testers to confirm the circuit is dead before any existing fittings or cables are touched, protecting your property throughout.
  • Mounting and circuit wiringWe run cables securely, install junction boxes or enclosures where required, and secure the light fittings firmly to ceiling joists or solid wall anchors. All conductors are terminated neatly to prevent strain, overheating or loose contacts over time.
  • Circuit testing and verificationAfter the physical installation is complete, we carry out instrumental checks including continuity and earth fault loop impedance. We restore power to verify smooth operation of every switch and lamp, then issue the appropriate certificate for the work completed.

Frequently asked questions about lighting installations

Still have a question?

Can you install downlights in a ceiling with an existing central rose?

Yes. We can replace a single central pendant with multiple recessed ceiling downlights. We plan the layout, core the holes neatly, run interconnecting cabling across the ceiling joists, and connect the circuit to suitable overload protection at your fuse board.

Can you provide the light fittings or do I need to purchase them?

You are welcome to purchase your own decorative pendants, chandeliers or wall lights for us to fit, or we can provide standard commercial fittings, downlights and outdoor fixtures. We always inspect fittings before installation to confirm they comply with British Standards.

What is the difference between replacing a light and adding a new circuit?

Replacing an existing fitting is a like-for-like alteration that connects to your current wiring, provided the existing cable is in good condition. Adding new lights where none existed before may require extending the existing loop or installing a dedicated new circuit back to the consumer unit.

Can you fit outdoor lighting on external walls or garden paths?

Yes. We install outdoor wall lanterns, security floodlights and path lights. All external lighting requires weatherproof enclosures, correct IP ratings to resist rain, and appropriate circuit protection to keep your home safe.

Will I receive an electrical certificate for my new lighting?

Minor alterations such as swapping like-for-like fittings receive a written record of the work and test results. Where we install a completely new lighting circuit or carry out notifiable work, we issue full certification through our NAPIT registration.
