Adding a new lighting point without guesswork

Running a new lighting point, whether for an extra ceiling light, a 3-way switch, or a multi-light circuit, means working out the right cable route, the correct switch wiring, and how the new point interacts with the rest of the circuit. Our electricians plan the route before cutting into walls or ceilings, keeping disruption to a minimum.

All new points are wired to current BS 7671 standards and tested before we finish, whether it’s a straightforward single switch or a more involved multi-way lighting layout for a renovation. Coverage across London within the M25, for both residential and commercial properties.
