High ceiling light bulb changed safely with proper ladder and equipment. No balancing on chairs, no risk, just sorted.
### Because High Ceilings Are A Pain
Love the spacious feel of high ceilings. Hate changing the bulbs. Your stepladder doesn't reach, you're not sure stacking things is wise, and £60 is **way cheaper than A&E**.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** LED bulbs last 15-20 years. When I change your high bulb, go LED - you might never need to change it again.

### Why Professional Access Matters
The difference between safe and dangerous is better equipment and knowing how to use it.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple high bulbs?** Tell me when you call - I'll bring enough bulbs and do them all. Much more efficient than separate visits. **LED upgrade?** When you're paying for ladder access anyway, switch to LED. They'll last 15-20 years so you might never need to change them again. Saves energy too. **Regular changes needed?** If you've got lots of high bulbs that need changing often, consider LED conversion or installing pull-down fittings. I can advise what works for your situation.
Frequently Asked Questions about Light bulb change high in Exmouth
How high is too high to change a bulb yourself?
If you're thinking 'this doesn't feel safe' or you'd need to balance on furniture, it's too high. Generally, anything above what a standard 6-foot stepladder reaches (so about 8-9 foot ceilings) is worth getting help. Your safety is worth £60.
Do you have tall enough ladders?
I've got ladders and equipment for most domestic ceiling heights - standard 8-10 foot ceilings are easy, up to about 14-15 feet is doable with extension ladders. Anything higher might need a scaffolding tower but that's rare in houses.
Can you do it if I have a sloped ceiling or stairs nearby?
Yes - I've got ladders with adjustable legs for uneven surfaces and know how to set up safely near stairs. It's trickier but very doable. That's actually where most DIY accidents happen, so definitely worth getting someone who knows how to do it safely.
How long does changing a high bulb take?
Usually 15-20 minutes. That's setting up the ladder safely, getting up and changing the bulb, testing it works, and packing away. Might be slightly longer if access is awkward or there's furniture to move.
Do I need to provide the replacement bulb?
Helpful if you've already got the right bulb, but if not I can usually supply a standard one. If it's an unusual fitting or you want a specific type (dimmable, coloured, smart bulb), best to have it ready.
