What happens on the day

A Walton on the Hill cottage keeps the cables already in the ceiling or the box, planned around the building rather than opened up. That lighting circuit is switched off, the old fitting or switch is taken down, and the pendant, ceiling light, dimmer or plate is joined on, with live, neutral and earth in the new terminals. Shelvers Way semis are the same swap. The light is tried before power is left on.

  • Isolate that circuitWalton on the Hill, Walton Street and Shelvers Way have that lighting circuit switched off before a fitting or switch is touched. A fresh cable run back to the board is not pulled.
  • Join the cables already thereThe pendant, ceiling light, dimmer or plate takes the cables already sitting in the ceiling or the box. Live, neutral and earth go into the new terminals. A decorative fitting is not bought unless it is already on the written price.
  • Test, then restoreThat light is tried, then power is put back. Filling and painting an old hole are left. A lighting way of its own is a different booking in Walton on the Hill.

Tadworth light fitting questions

Still have a question?

Can you change a light in a Walton on the Hill cottage?

Yes. A Walton on the Hill cottage and a Shelvers Way semi can have a light or a dimmer changed onto the cables already in place. That circuit is tried afterwards, and the cable stays planned around the building.

Do you pull a new cable back to the board?

No. Nothing new is pulled back to the board. What is already at that fitting is what gets joined. A separate lighting circuit is quoted on its own in Walton on the Hill.

Who buys a decorative fitting?

The fitting is yours to buy, unless the written price already names that purchase. We join the fitting you have. A shade for a Walton Street room is your choice, not ours.

Will you fill the old hole?

No. Filling and painting the old hole are outside the electrical swap. The test covers the light or the switch, not the ceiling finish.

Are live, neutral and earth reconnected?

Yes. They are landed in the new terminals after the old fitting or switch is off. That is checked before the circuit is tested in Walton on the Hill or on Shelvers Way.
