# Light fitting and switch replacement in Purley

> Light fitting changes in Purley replace the fittings named. A dimmer on the leafy roads is not a new consumer unit. · 5.0 Star from 39 reviews

Light fittings in Purley replace the fitting that was named. On the leafy roads a 1920s or 1930s board may be due for replacement, and a dimmer is not that replacement.


## What a Purley light change includes

Replacing the fittings named, and testing the switch that controls them, is this price. A dimmer in a 1930s house on the leafy roads does not include a new board. Fittings in a Foxley Lane flat do not include the shop.
- Lighting installation: from £50
- A fitting added after arrival is written on before it is connected.
- A board replacement on the leafy roads is a separate price.
- The other board on the Webb Estate is not changed for one light.

## What happens on the day

The fitting or dimmer that was named is replaced and the switch is tested. On the leafy roads a 1920s or 1930s board may be at the age for replacement, and this visit does not become that replacement. On the Webb Estate the switch is on one of the boards, and where the supply is split we note which board that light leaves. A light in a flat above the Foxley Lane parades stays in the flat. We do not change a fitting that was only pointed at once we had arrived, unless it is written on first.

### Change the fitting named

The light or dimmer on the note is the one replaced. A matching swap is tested at the switch. Anything else in the room stays up.

### Leave the ageing board

A house on the leafy roads can be ready for a new board and still only get the dimmer today. The board change is written as a later job if it is wanted.

### Note which Webb Estate board

Where the supply is split, the light's circuit is traced to the board it leaves. The other board is not opened for a single fitting.

## Questions about light fittings in Purley


### Is a dimmer on the leafy roads a new board?

No. Houses there from the 1920s and 1930s may be ready for a new board. The dimmer is only the dimmer, and the board stays until it is booked.

### Do you open both boards on the Webb Estate for one light?

We trace the light to the board it leaves. The other board, where the supply is split, is not part of a single fitting change.

### Can the shop light be changed with the flat?

Not on the flat's booking. A flat above the Foxley Lane parades and the shop below are labelled apart.

### What if the new fitting was not on the note?

It is written on before it is connected. Otherwise the original fitting is left in place on the wall.

### Will Riddlesdown lights add the missing sockets?

No. A Laing house that wants more outlets needs those outlets booked. This visit changes the fitting named.
