Ceiling light installation: round white flush-mount ceiling lights on a grey ceiling
Electrician30-day warranty included

Ceiling light installation

Takes about 1 hr

Flush and surface-mounted ceiling lights, round or square LED panels and ceiling domes all need a firm base and a neat finish against the ceiling. The electrician switches off the circuit, removes the old fitting, fixes the base plate with suitable anchors, connects the light and lines it up flat and centred.

The price shown on this page is the starting price for one ceiling light on an existing point. Recessed lights that need a false-ceiling cut-out, a new point or extra wire are quoted before work starts. The light is bought by you.

Keep the light and its fixing kit ready, and clear the bed or table under the point so the ladder can stand steady.

  • Old fitting removed
  • Base plate fixed firmly with suitable anchors
  • Light wired, centred and mounted flat

  • 30-day warranty on the work done

What's not included

  • The light, bought by you
  • False-ceiling cut-outs, new points or extra wire, quoted first

Questions about this service

Can you fit a recessed light in my false ceiling?

Yes, but cutting the false ceiling is extra work. The electrician quotes it before starting.

Will the ceiling be damaged?

Only drilling for anchors. Old holes may show if the new base is smaller, so the electrician will point that out first.

Are spare parts included in the price?

No. If a part or material is needed, the electrician quotes it and fits it only after you agree.

What if the problem comes back?

If the work done stops working within 30 days, we come back and fix it at no charge.
