Lighting installation across Farnborough
We serve Farnborough from our base in Basingstoke.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows an orderly sequence of electrical safety checks, precise fitting placement, safe wiring connections, and thorough instrument testing.
- Safe circuit isolationBefore any tools touch the ceiling or existing switches, the relevant lighting circuit is isolated at the consumer unit and tested to confirm that power is completely cut off.
- Positioning and fitting installationOld light fittings are removed cleanly. Where downlights are being added, ceiling positions are measured and cut before each fitting is wired securely into the lighting feed.
- Instrument testing and paperworkOnce installed, the circuit is re-energised and tested with calibrated equipment to verify continuity, insulation resistance and polarity before issuing the completion certificate.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

What does the lighting installation price per fitting cover?
The per-fitting price covers isolating the relevant lighting circuit, taking down the old fitting if one is present, connecting the new light, and carrying out safety testing on the circuit. The fittings themselves are not included unless specified on the quote.
Can I add ceiling downlights without rewiring my entire house?
Yes. Downlights can usually be connected to your existing lighting circuit as long as the current wiring is in sound condition and the consumer unit can support the additional fittings. A full rewire is not necessary for standard downlight additions.
Will my power be turned off while the new lights are installed?
Only the specific lighting circuit being worked on needs to be isolated at the consumer unit. Sockets and other circuits in your home will normally stay on, and the lighting circuit is restored as soon as installation and testing are complete.
Do I need to supply the light fittings myself?
You are welcome to purchase your own light fittings, chandeliers, or pendants in advance. We inspect them to ensure they meet domestic standards, connect them safely, and issue the completion paperwork once tested.
Do I get an electrical certificate when new lights are fitted?
Yes. Every new light fitting or circuit alteration is tested with calibrated equipment, and you will receive a minor works electrical certificate detailing the installation and test results.
