Professional chandelier hanging in Exeter - your chandelier assembled if needed, hung at the right height, and wired safely to light up your room properly.
Statement Lighting, Done Right
Chandeliers are heavy, delicate, and awkward. Holding one while wiring isn't easy. Professional installation means no dropped crystals. Secure fixing, correct height, safe wiring.
💡 Pro tip: Have bulbs ready - we'll fit them and you can see the full effect immediately. LED candle bulbs work well and don't generate the heat that damages crystals.

🔧 DIY Tips
Hanging a chandelier yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Helper to hold it
- Screwdriver
- Voltage tester
- Step ladder
📐 Installation tips
- Turn off power at consumer unit
- Check ceiling can take weight
- Have someone hold the chandelier
- Connect wires correctly
- Test before finishing
⚠️ Important points
- Heavy chandeliers need joist fixing
- Standard roses may not cope
- Don't rush - crystals break easily
- Check level from all angles
💡 Pro tip: Mark the chain length with tape before cutting. Hang it, live with it for a day, then adjust if needed. Easier than guessing.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions
Can any ceiling take a chandelier?
Depends on the weight. Standard ceiling roses handle a few kilos. Heavy chandeliers need fixing into joists or adding a ceiling plate. We check and reinforce if needed.
How high should a chandelier hang?
Over a table, 30-36 inches above. In an open space, 7ft minimum clearance. We discuss height before drilling anything.
Can you assemble the chandelier?
Yes - many come flat-packed with lots of glass and crystals to attach. We handle assembly, hanging, and wiring. Just have it delivered beforehand.
What about old chandeliers?
We can rehang vintage chandeliers too. Check the wiring is safe, clean up connections, install securely. Beautiful pieces deserve proper installation.
