Light Back On, No Climbing
Some bulbs are easy. Some are in vaulted ceilings or fiddly spotlights. We change them all. Safe access, right bulb type, job done.

🔧 DIY Tips
Changing a bulb yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Correct replacement bulb
- Stable step ladder
- Possibly a torch
📐 Replacement tips
- Turn off at the switch
- Let bulb cool if it was on
- Bayonet: push and twist
- Screw: unscrew carefully
- Spotlights: squeeze clips or twist bezel
⚠️ Important points
- Match wattage (or lower with LED)
- Match fitting type exactly
- Halogen: don't touch glass with fingers

Frequently Asked Questions
Why pay for bulb changing?
High ceilings, awkward fittings, mobility issues, or fittings you can't work out. Not everyone can safely balance on a ladder with bulbs in hand. We do it safely.
Do you supply the bulbs?
We can, or you can have them ready. If you're not sure what type you need, we can identify it and source the right ones.
What about downlight bulbs?
GU10s, MR16s, integrated LEDs - we change them all. Some downlights have tricky clips or bezels. We know how they work.
Can you reach high ceilings?
Yes - we bring appropriate ladders and work safely. Standard domestic height is no problem. Very high ceilings may need scaffolding, quoted separately.
