Christmas lights installed safely along your roofline with proper clips and hidden wiring. I handle the ladder work, secure fixing, and cable management - you just enjoy the festive glow.
### The Full Festive Effect, Safely Done
**Roof lights** are the pinnacle of Christmas display - but they're also the most dangerous to DIY. Ladders on cold, wet December days? No thanks.
I'll install your lights properly using gutter clips, hide all the wiring, and make sure everything's weatherproof and secure. Your house gets the full festive effect, and you stay safely on the ground.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Warm white LEDs look more classic and elegant. Multi-colour is fine, but warm white tends to look better on traditional Sidmouth properties.

Good to Know
> 🎄 **Full display package?** I can do roof lights, garden reindeer, pathway lights, and tree installation all in one visit. Book early December for best availability. **Takedown service:** Most people book me back in early January to take everything down and pack it away properly. Much easier than facing it yourself in the cold. **Exeter's older roofs?** Victorian and Edwardian houses often have decorative bargeboards and complex rooflines. I can work with these - the lights actually look brilliant on period properties when done properly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Roof light installation in Sidmouth
How do you fix lights to the roof safely?
I use proper gutter clips or fascia hooks - they grip securely but don't damage your roofline. No nails, no screws. The lights clip into these, creating a neat line along your roof edge.
Do I need to buy the lights first?
Yes - you choose the style and length you want, and I'll install them. LED lights are best for roofs - they're lighter, use less power, and don't heat up.
Is it safe for you to work on my roof?
I've got proper ladders, roof ladder hooks if needed, and I'm insured for height work. Most roof lights just go along the gutter edge - I'm not climbing all over your tiles. But yes, it's safe and done properly.
Can you hide the cables to the outdoor socket?
Absolutely - I route the cable down the downpipe or behind the gutter where it's basically invisible. Extension cables are black and clipped neatly out of sight.
Will you take them down after Christmas?
That's a separate job but yes, most people book me for takedown in early January. Saves you getting the ladder out in cold, wet weather.
