What happens on the day
Every lighting project follows a structured sequence so the property remains tidy, circuits are safely isolated and all wiring is verified before power returns.
- Arrival and circuit isolationWe arrive at your property, confirm the planned positions for all fittings and switches, and lay protection over flooring and furnishings. The relevant lighting circuit is isolated at the consumer unit and checked with calibrated instruments before any physical work starts.
- Cable runs and fitting installationWe alter or extend wiring as required, set back boxes into walls or ceiling timbers, and mount the light units securely. Cable terminations are completed inside proper enclosures, switches are wired, and all connections are clamped to the correct torque.
- Instrument testing and circuit checksOnce installed, the circuit undergoes continuity, insulation resistance and earth fault loop impedance checks. We ensure polarity is correct throughout the run and verify that all protective devices trip within required safety thresholds.
- Handover and certificationPower is re-energised and we walk through the installation with you to demonstrate the switching and control arrangements. We clean up all work areas and issue the relevant installation certificate or minor works documentation.

WhatsAppCan you replace an old light fitting without rewiring the ceiling?
Yes, provided the existing wiring insulation and earth conductors are in safe condition. We inspect and test the circuit cables before mounting the new luminaire. If the cables are degraded or lack an appropriate earth path, we explain the situation and explain what alterations are needed before proceeding.
Do I get a certificate when you install new lighting?
Yes. Where new lighting circuits are added or alterations are made to special locations, the work is registered through NAPIT and certified. For like-for-like replacements on existing circuits, we issue a minor works certificate documenting the test results and confirming the installation is safe.
Can you add an extra wall switch for a room or hallway?
Yes. We frequently set up two-way or intermediate switching arrangements for long hallways, stair landings and open-plan living spaces. This allows fittings to be controlled independently from multiple doorways without crossing an unlit area.
Are you able to fit customer-supplied light fittings?
Yes. If you have purchased your own ceiling fixtures, wall sconces or chandeliers, we can inspect their terminals, assemble them safely and connect them to your electrical system, ensuring all mounting brackets are securely fixed to structural timbers.
Do you install outdoor security and garden lighting?
Yes. We install external wall lanterns, floodlights, path bollards and soffit downlights. All outdoor installations use weather-sealed fittings with appropriate IP ratings, connected via suitable protective cabling and switching methods.
