Downlights installed in a modern ceiling by JD Electricals

What lighting work costs

Single fittings are priced per fitting, so tell us how many. A whole room or a full-house scheme is quoted as one job rather than multiplied up, which usually works out lower.

  • Quotes are free and there is no call-out charge for arranging one.
  • The price is agreed before anything is booked.
  • Anything found once the job is open is quoted separately and agreed with you first.

The work that comes up most

Lighting ranges from a ten-minute swap to a full circuit.

Downlights

Fitting or replacing recessed lights, priced per fitting, with the ceiling void checked before anything is cut.

Replacement fittings

Swapping a fitting on an existing point, including heavier pendants that need proper fixing.

Dimmers and controls

The usual cause of flicker is LED compatibility, so the dimmer is matched to the lamps rather than fitted blind.

Outdoor and garden

New circuits run outside, with the right protection and weather rating for where they sit.

What happens on the day

Most lighting work is a single visit.

  1. 01

    Before

    Say how many fittings, whether you are supplying them, and if anything is going where there is no light now.

  2. 02

    During

    Only the lighting circuit is off, so the rest of the house carries on.

  3. 03

    After

    Everything is tested and, where the work is notifiable, certified.

What you end up with

Lighting that works properly, and does not flicker.

No flicker
Dimmers and lamps matched, which is the most common cause of a callback when they are not.
Safe outdoors
Outdoor circuits with the right protection and rating for the position.

Common questions

The things people ask before booking.

Can you fit lights I have bought?+

Yes, and most people do. Just have them on site for the visit, and tell us the type so we can bring the right fixings.

Why do my LEDs flicker on a dimmer?+

Almost always a compatibility issue between the dimmer and the lamps. Matching the two fixes it far more reliably than changing bulbs.

Do you do garden lighting?+

Yes. It needs a properly protected outdoor circuit rather than an extension lead, and the fittings have to be rated for where they sit.
