Indoor and outdoor lighting, repaired and installed
Garden lights that gave up, a chandelier to hang, or a room that never feels bright enough. We sort out the lighting inside and out.
Lighting faults are some of the most common electrical problems in a home, and some of the most irritating. A row of garden lights dies after the rain, a downlight flickers in the passage, or the security light at the gate has not switched itself on for weeks.
We repair what is there and install what is new. That ranges from hanging a heavy chandelier properly to planning the lighting in a renovated room, and fitting day and night switches so the outside lights come on at dusk without anybody having to remember.
What people call us about
Garden lights not working
Water in the fittings, damaged cable under the lawn or a tripped circuit. We trace it and repair it.
Chandeliers and feature lights
Heavy fittings hung securely and wired correctly.
Day and night switches
Outside lights that switch on at dark and off at sunrise by themselves.
Flickering or dead lights
A failing fitting, a loose connection or the wrong dimmer. We find which.
Lighting design
Help planning where lights should go in a room so it is properly lit.
How we approach a lighting job
- 1
For repairs, we test from the switch back to the breaker so we know whether the fault is the light, the cable or the circuit.
- 2
For new lighting, we walk through the space with you and talk about what the room is used for.
- 3
Outdoor work is done with fittings and connections made for outdoor use, so the rain does not trip the power again next month.
- 4
We test everything once it is installed and show you how any timers or sensors work.
Questions people ask
Why do my garden lights trip the earth leakage when it rains?
Water is getting into a fitting, a joint or a damaged cable. The earth leakage is doing its job. We find the wet point and repair it.
Can you hang a heavy chandelier?
Yes. We make sure it is properly supported, not just hanging from the ceiling rose.
What is a day and night switch?
A sensor that switches outside lights on when it gets dark and off when it gets light.
Do you do lighting for businesses?
Yes, indoor and outdoor lighting for homes and for commercial properties.
