Good to Know
> 🎨 **Whole house needs updating?** Do all the shades in one visit. Once I'm there with the ladder and adapters, doing multiple rooms is much quicker. **Old fitting looks tatty?** While I've got the shade off, perfect time to replace the ceiling rose with a new one. Makes the new shade look even better. **New shade still in packaging?** Leave it that way until I arrive - easier to return if it turns out to be wrong size or fitting type.
Frequently Asked Questions about Lampshade replacement in Tiverton
Is replacing a lampshade different from fitting one?
Not really - it's the same job, just removing the old one first. Takes an extra couple of minutes to unclip or unscrew the old shade. Total time is still only 10-15 minutes for most shades.
Can you dispose of the old shade for me?
Sure - if it's not sentimental and you just want rid of it, I'll take it away. If it's charity shop quality, I can drop it there. If it's broken, it goes in the van for disposal.
What if the new shade doesn't fit the old fitting?
Common situation - different shades use different fittings. I'll either fit the right adapter, or if the fitting's old and tatty, replace the whole ceiling rose with a modern one. I'll tell you which makes more sense.
How long does replacing a shade take?
About 10-15 minutes. Remove old shade, check fitting is okay, fit new shade, make sure it's secure and straight. Bit longer if the fitting needs updating or adapting.
Should I leave the old shade up for you to see how it fitted?
Helpful but not essential. If it's already down, I can still work out what's needed from the ceiling fitting. Either way works.
