🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting an interior light yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Screwdriver
- Wire strippers
- Voltage tester
- Someone to hold the light
📐 Installation tips
- Turn off power at consumer unit
- Test it's actually off
- Note existing wire colours
- Connect like-for-like
- Support heavy fittings properly
⚠️ Important points
- Brown = live, blue = neutral, green/yellow = earth
- Some lights need earthing, some don't
- Don't overtighten connectors
- Check level before finishing
💡 Pro tip: Take a photo of the existing wiring before disconnecting. Old colour codes differ (red/black instead of brown/blue). Reference it when reconnecting.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my existing ceiling rose?
Usually yes - most light fittings connect to standard ceiling roses. Heavy fittings may need additional support. We check and advise.
What about spotlights?
Replacing a pendant with spotlights needs ceiling cutting and possibly new wiring. It's more involved than a straight swap. We can quote for this separately.
Do you fit the light I've bought?
Yes - we fit your lights. Just have them delivered before we arrive. We can advise on what to buy if you're not sure.
What if the wiring looks old?
We check connections are safe. If wiring is concerning, we'll tell you. Often it just needs proper termination. Sometimes further investigation is needed.
