Lighting installation in Farnborough
Lighting installation in Farnborough from £65 a fitting. JD Electricals quotes from the existing switch and cable route on Fleet Road in Cove and on the newer Southwood plots.
“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.”

Lighting installation pricing structure
Work is priced per fitting so you can clearly see the cost breakdown for each individual light point before any installation starts in your home.
- The price per fitting covers safe circuit isolation, mounting the light, connecting wiring, and electrical testing.
- Light fittings themselves are excluded unless specifically itemised and included on the written quotation.
- Installing a completely new lighting circuit back to the fuse board is priced on its own separate line.
- Making good plaster, ceiling skimming, or decorative repainting is not included in the electrical fitting price.
Lighting installation in Farnborough
- JD Electricals installs domestic indoor and outdoor lighting across Farnborough properties, from individual replacement ceiling fittings to new downlights on existing circuits.
- Recessed ceiling lights can be integrated into existing domestic lighting circuits without requiring a full rewiring project, provided the existing cabling and consumer unit support the load.
- If you have already purchased chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces or outdoor fixtures, we safely wire them into place, carry out circuit checks and certify the new connections.
- Extra light points can be wired into existing hallways, stairwells or landings, paired with matching switches to improve illumination across darker areas of the home.
Domestic lighting work across Farnborough
- Homes throughout the GU14 area often benefit from updated lighting layouts, whether replacing single pendants with recessed downlights or adding exterior entrance fixtures.
- Living rooms and kitchens in Cove properties can be upgraded from traditional central batten fittings to distributed downlights, improving light spread across the whole room.
- Family homes in Southwood frequently require additional lighting points in home offices, kitchen diners or landings, connected neatly into the existing domestic consumer unit.
- Properties along Fleet Road and Cove Road can have outdoor wall lights installed beside entrance doors, illuminated house numbers fitted, or outdated internal fixtures swapped out.
What happens during a lighting installation visit
Every visit follows an orderly sequence of electrical safety checks, precise fitting placement, safe wiring connections, and thorough instrument testing.
- 01
Safe circuit isolation
Before 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.
- 02
Positioning and fitting installation
Old 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.
- 03
Instrument testing and paperwork
Once installed, the circuit is re-energised and tested with calibrated equipment to verify continuity, insulation resistance and polarity before issuing the completion certificate.
Other domestic electrical services
In addition to lighting installation and downlights, JD Electricals carries out consumer unit upgrades, full and partial house rewires, and domestic EICR testing.
Why choose JD Electricals for lighting
We provide transparent per-fitting pricing, keep extra findings on separate lines rather than adding hidden costs, test every connection, and supply valid paperwork for every installation.

Frequently asked questions about lighting installation
Common questions about installing new lights, adding downlights, and electrical safety in domestic properties across Farnborough.
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.
— James Dunn
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.
— James Dunn
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.
Do you repair the ceiling plaster after cutting holes for downlights?+
No. We cut the holes neatly for the fittings being installed, but any making good of old holes, plaster patching, skimming, or painting remains outside the electrical quotation and is left for a decorator.
What happens if a new lighting circuit is required?+
If your existing lighting circuits are overloaded or damaged, running a new dedicated cable back to the consumer unit will be priced as a separate line item on your quotation rather than added unexpectedly to the per-fitting cost.
