A shortfall in an extended villa is written down before anything is cut. Light fittings in Wallington hang on the cable that already reaches that point. Around Holy Trinity that run may already be long because the house has been extended more than once. ## What a Wallington light change includes Swapping the lamp on cable that already reaches that point is this price. A longer tail, or a point moved across the room, is described before it is cut. One failed lamp does not become a new board on a wide road semi. - Lighting installation: from £50 - A dimmer is included only when that lamp can take one. - Cutting new ceiling openings is a different visit. - A fitting in a flat does not include the shop below. ## Light fitting and switch replacement across Wallington We serve Wallington from our base in Banstead. - Woodcote Road - Wallington Green - Manor Road - Stanley Park Road - Bandonhill - Roundshaw - Beddington - Hackbridge ## What happens on the day The new fitting goes on the cable already at that point. In villas on Clifton Road and Belmont Road the installation is long because the house has been extended, and a cable that will not reach is lengthened only after that is written down. A joint is not hidden in the ceiling. Shifting where the light sits is quoted separately. A wide road board is not replaced so one lamp can be swapped. ### Use the point that exists The fitting uses the cable already there. An extended villa does not get a new run across the room merely because the shade is changing. ### Note a short cable first If the cable stops short, the extra length is noted before the lamp is hung. No joint is hidden above the ceiling. ### Test this circuit only The circuit that feeds the fitting is tested with the new lamp on it. A dimmer goes in only if that lamp is able to work with one. ## Questions about Wallington light fittings ### What if the cable in an extended villa is short? The extra length is written down before the fitting goes up. On Clifton Road and Belmont Road the gap is not hidden above the ceiling. ### Can the point move across the room? That is a separate line. A swap uses the point that exists. Moving it through a long installation is described before any cutting. ### Does one lamp mean a new wide road board? No. A board that was never meant for the extension is a board job. This visit changes the fitting and tests its circuit. ### Are dimmers always fitted? No. The lamp has to be able to take a dimmer. Where it cannot, a plain switch is fitted, and that is said before the fitting goes up. ### Does a flat over a Woodcote Road shop include the shop light? No. The fitting is in the flat that was booked over the Woodcote Road shops. The shop below has its own points and is not included. ## Other services in Wallington - [Electrician in Wallington](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-wallington): Electrician in Wallington, Surrey (SM6).
