An hourly labour rate applies for general trade time, with clear explanations of what influences the overall cost. - Sockets, lighting, cookers and smoke alarms: from £70 an hour; from £70 an hour - The price covers safe isolation, removing existing fittings, wiring and mounting replacement fixtures, circuit verification, and general tidying up. - Costs vary depending on whether existing wiring is reused or new circuit cables, conduits and junction boxes must be run from the consumer unit. - High ceilings, specialist exterior fittings, multi-gang dimmers and supplementary plaster patching around previous ceiling roses will alter the time required. ## Lighting Installation across Canford Heath We serve Canford Heath from our base in Poole. - Canford Heath East - Canford Heath West - Adastral Road - BH17 ## What happens on the day We follow a clear procedure on every installation visit so the work proceeds smoothly from the moment power is isolated to the final system check. ### Inspection and safe isolation On arrival at your property, we review the layout and fitting positions with you. We locate the consumer unit, turn off the relevant circuit, and test the conductors with voltage indicators to verify they are dead before removing old hardware. ### Cable routing and mounting We mount the new ceiling roses, back boxes or recessed housings securely. Where additional points or switches are required, we draw new cables through ceiling voids, surface trunking or chases, terminating conductors into the new light fittings. ### Functional testing and completion Power is restored to complete electrical continuity and earth fault testing. We verify that switching combinations operate correctly, clean up all cut wire ends and dust, and provide the relevant paperwork covering the completed work. ## Frequently asked questions about lighting in Canford Heath ### Can you swap a light fitting without rewiring the entire room? Yes. If the existing circuit wiring, earthing and protective devices are in sound condition, we can replace the surface fitting and ceiling rose without disturbing the underlying cable runs. We test the circuit conductors first to confirm everything is safe. ### Do you install outdoor security and garden lighting? We install all types of exterior lighting, including wall-mounted lanterns, floodlights, ground spots and motion-activated fittings. We run suitable weatherproof cable and connect it through an appropriate protective device at your consumer unit. ### Will I receive paperwork after a light fitting is installed? Yes. When a new circuit is installed, you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate. For alterations, additions or like-for-like fitting replacements on existing circuits, we provide a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate. ### Can you convert single switches into two-way switching for stairs? Yes. We can run three-core cabling between switch positions or use wireless kinetic switching units to allow lights in staircases, hallways or large reception rooms to be turned on or off from multiple entry doors. ### Do I need to supply the light fittings myself? You are welcome to purchase your own decorative light fittings and have us install them, or we can supply standard ceiling pendants, LED downlights, commercial battens and outdoor luminaires as part of the overall job. ## Other services in Canford Heath - [Electrician in Canford Heath](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-canford-heath): Electrical repairs, inspections and planned installation work across Canford Heath East, Canford Heath West and BH17. - [Lighting Installation (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/lighting-installation): MX2 Electrical fits and replaces lighting in Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset homes and workplaces.
