Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- Bank transfer
- Replacing a single like-for-like ceiling pendant or wall light takes less time than running new circuits or installing multiple recessed downlights.
- Cabling accessibility, ceiling construction, and whether floorboards or loft access are available will affect the hours required on site.
- Adding multi-way switching, dimming modules, or external armoured cabling will alter the required materials and installation duration.
- Current labour rate: £70 per hour.
- Materials, specialist equipment and larger project work are confirmed separately before they go ahead.

What happens on the day
Every lighting installation follows a systematic process to keep your property protected, your wiring sound, and your new fittings securely mounted.
- Circuit isolation and area preparationWe arrive at your Christchurch property, inspect the fitting locations with you, and isolate the relevant electrical circuits at the consumer unit. We lay protective sheeting over flooring and furnishings beneath the work area to prevent dust settlement.
- Cable assessment and fixture mountingWe inspect the existing wiring to confirm cable condition, earthing and polarity. Once confirmed, we route any required new cabling, secure appropriate ceiling anchors or back boxes, and connect the light fittings along with their corresponding switches.
- Circuit testing and handoverBefore restoring supply, we run verification checks to confirm continuity, earth fault loop impedance, and insulation resistance. We then re-energise the circuit, test every switch position, demonstrate dimmer or sensor functions, and tidy away all offcuts and packaging.

WhatsAppCan you change light fittings without replacing the whole circuit?
Yes. If the underlying cables, earthing and circuit breakers are in good condition, we can replace old pendants, wall lights or fluorescent tubes without installing new wiring. We test the existing circuit on arrival, and if we find degraded cable insulation or missing earth conductors, we explain what is required before proceeding.
Do you install outdoor lights on residential properties in Christchurch?
Yes, we install weatherproof outdoor lighting across Christchurch, including porch lanterns, garden path illumination, and security floodlights with passive infrared sensors. We route cables safely from your existing consumer unit or nearby circuits using suitable external conduit.
Can I replace a single ceiling pendant with multiple downlights?
Yes. We can alter your ceiling lighting from a central rose to an array of recessed downlights. This involves calculating spacing for even light distribution, cutting ceiling apertures, linking the new fire-rated fittings with suitable cable, and connecting them to your wall switch.
Will I receive paperwork after you complete my lighting installation?
Yes. We provide written documentation detailing the installation and the electrical tests carried out. Where new circuits are installed, the work is registered under our NAPIT membership, ensuring you hold the proper certification for building compliance and future property sales.
Can you add two-way switching for stairs or hallways?
Yes, we frequently install two-way and intermediate switching configurations. This allows you to turn the same set of lights on or off from the top and bottom of a staircase, or from both ends of a long hallway or open-plan living room.
