More about lighting installationLED downlights give clean, even light and use far less energy than old halogen spotlights. We fit fire-rated downlights where the ceiling needs them, space them to avoid dark patches and can add dimmers. Find out what to think about before choosing downlights for your home.
More about LED downlight installationSwapping a ceiling light, fitting wall lights, adding an extractor fan or mounting a heater all count as fixture installation. We make sure each fitting suits the room it's going in, is securely fixed and is wired to the right circuit. Read about the fixtures we fit.

More about outdoor & garden lightingMany business premises, along with shared stairwells and corridors in blocks of flats, need emergency lighting that comes on if the power fails. We install the right fittings for your escape routes and carry out the regular tests that keep your records up to date. Find out what testing involves.
More about emergency lighting installation & testingSmart lighting lets you control lights from your phone, by voice or on a schedule, and set scenes for different times of day. Some systems use smart bulbs, while others need smart switches or a hub wired in. We help you choose a system that suits your home. Read more about smart options.
More about smart lighting installationGood lighting work starts with a plan. A lighting contractor should ask how you use each space, check whether the existing circuits can take new fittings, and use fire-rated or weatherproof fittings where they're needed. You should receive a certificate once it's tested.

Yes, you're welcome to buy your own fittings, and we'll check they suit the room before installing them. Bathroom and outdoor lights need the right IP rating, and some ceilings need fire-rated downlights, so it's worth checking with us before you order anything.
It depends on how much is changing. Replacing a few fittings can take an hour or two, while adding downlights through a whole floor or wiring new lighting circuits can take a day or more. We'll give you an idea of timings when we quote for the job.
