Planning your electrical work
Lighting and refurbishment work in Chelsea
For decorative lighting, send the fitting specifications and identify the switches or control system you plan to use. The appearance of a fitting is only part of the installation: electrical compatibility, support, access and any required cable routes also need consideration.
When coordinating with an interior designer or builder, agree a current drawing and nominate a contact for changes. Confirm appliance positions and requirements before first-fix work, and tell us about access restrictions or finishes that need protection. Any changes to the agreed scope should be discussed before proceeding.

“Turned up on time and got on with changing the 4 light switches that I requested to be changed. Also fixed a dodgy socket where a wire had fallen out of the back of the socket. All done in 1 hour.”

“Fantastic and efficient work. Prompt communication when running slightly late. Materials (lighting units) supplied were of high quality, above expectations. Easy to obtain an email quote beforehand and easy card machine payment after the job. Could not ask for more.”
