Lighting & Electrical Services

Interior, exterior and architectural lighting, plus the electrical installation behind it.

Lighting is the one finish that changes a room twice a day. A space that reads well at noon can be flat and unwelcoming by evening if the only decision made was where to put the ceiling fitting.

We plan lighting in layers — general, task and accent — and set the circuits out to match, so a room can be bright when it needs to be and quiet when it does not. That planning happens before first fix, because switch drops, cable routes and fitting positions are expensive to move afterwards.

Outside, the same approach applies to paths, planting, façades and seating areas, where the aim is usually to light what matters and leave the rest dark.

  • Planned before first fix

    Switch drops, cable routes and fitting positions are decided while they are still cheap to move.

  • Lit in layers

    General, task and accent circuits so one room can serve several moods.

  • Labelled and serviceable

    Circuits documented and accessible, so the next fault takes minutes to find.

What's Included

Lighting & Electrical — what we cover.

  • 03

    Garden Lighting

    Low-level path, planting and feature lighting run in with the landscaping.

  • 04

    Architectural Lighting

    Coves, recesses and concealed sources detailed with the build rather than added later.

Our Process

How lighting & electrical work runs.

The stages specific to this discipline — each one signed off before the next begins.

  1. 01

    Lighting Brief

    How each space is used, at what times, and what it currently gets wrong.

  2. 02

    Layout & Circuits

    Fitting positions, switching and circuits planned room by room.

  3. 03

    First Fix

    Cable routes, back boxes and containment installed.

  4. 04

    Second Fix

    Fittings, switches, sockets and controls installed.

  5. 05

    Commissioning

    Circuits tested, controls set, and lighting levels adjusted after dark.

  6. 06

    Documentation

    Circuits labelled and the installation recorded for future work.

FAQ

Lighting & Electrical — your questions.

Something not covered here? Ask us directly and we'll come back with a straight answer.

Do you design the lighting, or only install it?

Both. We plan the layout, layers and switching room by room, then carry out the installation ourselves.

Can you add lighting to a finished room?

Often yes, though the options narrow once walls and ceilings are closed. We set out what is achievable without opening the room up, and what is not.

Do you install garden and exterior lighting?

Yes, and we prefer to run it in alongside the landscaping so cable routes are planned before planting and paving go in.

Do you take on rewiring and electrical upgrades?

Yes — circuits, distribution, sockets and switching, whether as part of a build or as standalone work in an existing property.
