Plug in, test, done.

Good to Know
> 🎄 **Takedown in January?** Book it when I fit them. I'll come back, remove everything carefully, pack your lights for next year. Fixings come off without marks. **How many lights needed?** Measure around your window frame in metres, that's roughly how many metres of lights you need. Add 10% for routing to the socket. **Battery-powered lights?** Dead easy to fit (no cable management) but you'll be changing batteries all season. Mains-powered is better for windows that stay lit all evening. **Older Exeter properties** with beautiful sash windows look amazing with lights fitted properly around the frames - shows off the architecture.
Frequently Asked Questions about Window light fitting in Ottery St Mary
How do you attach lights to window frames?
Small clear hooks or cable clips that don't damage frames or glass. Everything's removable in January without leaving marks. For outside windows I use weatherproof fixings, inside it's simpler cable management.
Can you do this on uPVC windows?
Yes - I use methods that don't damage uPVC. No drilling, no permanent marks. Everything comes off cleanly when Christmas is done.
Do the lights go inside or outside the windows?
Either - your choice. Inside is easier (no ladder work) and still looks good from the street. Outside gives brighter display but takes longer, especially upstairs windows.
What about bay windows or unusual shapes?
That's where professional fitting really helps - I'll follow the frame shape neatly rather than just stringing lights across. Takes longer but looks much better.
Do I need to provide the lights?
Yes - buy whatever style you want (warm white, colours, icicle effect). I just fit them neatly. I can advise on quantities needed once I know your window sizes.
