What happens on the day

The part that is there now is taken down, and the replacement is landed on the same wires. That lighting circuit is isolated at the board while the terminals are made, then the light is tried. We do not run a new cable from the board, and we do not plaster or paint around the old hole. In a chalet bungalow around Bradmore Green this stays one part in the room named. A second fitting is written into the price before the first one comes off.

  • Change the one part namedA pendant, a ceiling light, a dimmer or a plate switch is swapped onto the cables already in place. A second part is not taken off because the steps are out.
  • Isolate that lighting circuitThe circuit for this fitting is isolated at the board while the new terminals are made, then the light is tried. Other circuits in the bungalow stay as they were.
  • Leave the board and the plasterNo new cable is run from the board. Plaster, paint and tiles around the old hole are not repaired on this visit, and the board itself is not changed.

Questions about light and switch replacement in Coulsdon

Still have a question?

Will you rewire a bungalow around Bradmore Green for one light?

No. The new fitting uses the cables already in that ceiling or wall. A rewire of the bungalow is a different booking.

What if a second fitting is wanted once you are there?

It is priced before the extra part comes off. It is not added because the ladder is already in the room.

Do you bring the decorative fitting?

Only when that purchase is already in the written price. Otherwise the fitting is the one provided for the visit, and we connect it.

Who repairs the plaster around the old hole?

Not this visit. Plaster, paint and tiles around the hole stay out. We leave the new part working on the existing cables.

Is a dimmer the same visit as a new lighting circuit?

No. A dimmer or a switch goes on the wires already there. A feed from the consumer unit is separate work.
