Indoor, outdoor & LED lighting
Lighting Installation in Ealing (W5 & W13)
Need new lighting, replacement fittings or an LED upgrade in Ealing? We carry out planned lighting installation for homes and businesses, from ceiling lights and downlights to outdoor wall, garden and security lighting.
Good lighting work is about more than the fitting itself. The existing wiring, switching, circuit arrangement, location and environment all need to suit the installation. We plan the electrical work around the property and test the work as appropriate when complete.

Professional Lighting Installation for Ealing Properties
Lighting requirements vary from a single replacement fitting to a planned scheme involving several rooms or external areas. We can discuss the fitting positions, switching, existing wiring and any new electrical work required before installation begins.
Indoor lighting
Ceiling lights, pendants, downlights, spotlights, wall lights, task lighting and other fittings for living spaces, kitchens, hallways and work areas.
Outdoor lighting
Exterior wall lights, entrance and patio lighting, garden and pathway lighting, plus suitable security lighting around the property.
LED upgrades
Replacement and new LED lighting can improve efficiency, reduce maintenance and provide a different level or quality of light where older fittings are no longer suitable.
Inside the property
Indoor & LED Lighting Installation
Indoor lighting can be planned around how each room is actually used. A kitchen may need a combination of general and task lighting, while living areas may benefit from separate switching or feature lighting. We can install new fittings or adapt an existing lighting arrangement where the electrical installation is suitable.
Typical work includes LED downlights and spotlights, pendant and decorative ceiling fittings, wall lights, under-cabinet or task lighting and replacement of older fittings with modern LED alternatives.
If the project requires a completely new lighting circuit or wider electrical alterations, that work should be planned as part of the installation rather than hidden behind a simple fitting replacement.
Exterior lighting
Outdoor, Garden & Security Lighting
Outdoor lighting can improve visibility around entrances, paths, patios and driveways while also adding useful illumination to gardens and external spaces. The equipment and electrical arrangement need to be suitable for the location and expected exposure to weather.
We can install exterior wall and entrance lights, garden and pathway lighting, patio lighting and suitable motion-sensor or security lighting. The cable route, switching, protective measures and suitability of the fittings are considered as part of the job.
Replacement fittings
Light Fitting Replacement & Upgrades
If you already have a lighting point and want to change the fitting, we can replace suitable ceiling lights, pendants, wall lights and other fixtures. Before connecting a new fitting, the existing point and arrangement need to be suitable for what is being installed.
A fitting replacement is different from creating a new circuit or rewiring a property. If inspection during the job identifies a wider electrical fault or deteriorated wiring, we can explain the issue separately rather than treating a larger repair as part of a straightforward fitting change.
For problems such as repeated tripping, lights that fail intermittently or suspected wiring faults, see our Electrical Fault Finding Ealing service.
How the work is planned
Our Lighting Installation Process
Discuss the lighting
Tell us what you want to install or replace, the rooms or external areas involved and whether you already have the fittings.
Assess the electrical work
We consider the existing lighting points, wiring, switching and proposed locations so the scope is clear before installation.
Install the fittings
The agreed fittings, wiring or controls are installed with attention to secure fixing, sensible cable routes and a neat finish.
Test & hand over
The completed electrical work is inspected and tested as appropriate, with relevant documentation provided where required for the work undertaken.
Electrical safety
Lighting Circuits, Testing & Certification
Lighting installation work should be appropriate for the existing electrical installation and carried out with current UK electrical requirements and BS 7671 in mind. The testing and documentation required depend on whether the job is a straightforward fitting replacement, an alteration to an existing circuit or new electrical installation work.
Some domestic electrical work can also involve Building Regulations requirements in England. Rather than suggesting every lighting job follows the same certification or notification route, we consider the actual scope of work.
Planning your quote
What Affects Lighting Installation Cost?
The cost depends on the number and type of fittings, whether suitable lighting points already exist, access, ceiling or wall construction, switching and controls, cable routes, outdoor requirements and whether new circuit work is needed.
For a useful initial discussion, tell us how many lights you want installed, whether they are replacements or new positions, and send photos of the existing area and fittings where possible. We do not publish an invented one-price-fits-all figure because a single fitting replacement and a multi-room lighting installation are very different jobs.
Planning New Lighting in Ealing?
Send us your postcode, the type and number of lights, and a few photos of the rooms or outside areas involved.

Frequently asked questions
Lighting Installation FAQs
Can you replace an existing light fitting?
Yes. Where the existing lighting point and wiring are suitable, an existing ceiling, pendant, wall or other light fitting can be replaced with an appropriate new fitting.
Can you install new LED downlights?
Yes. The layout, ceiling construction, existing circuit and switching need to be considered before new downlights are installed. The scope is different from simply changing an existing lamp or fitting.
Do you install outdoor and garden lighting?
Yes. We can install suitable exterior wall, entrance, garden, pathway, patio and security lighting. The fittings and electrical installation need to be appropriate for the location and environmental conditions.
Can you install security or motion-sensor lights?
Yes. Suitable motion-sensor and security lighting can be installed around entrances, side passages, gardens and other exterior areas, subject to the proposed location and electrical supply.
Do I need a new circuit for new lighting?
Not necessarily. Some work can use or alter a suitable existing circuit, while other projects require new wiring or a new circuit. That depends on the existing installation and the scope of the proposed lighting.
Will I receive an electrical certificate?
The documentation depends on the electrical work actually carried out. Where certification is required for the work undertaken, the appropriate documentation should match that scope.
Do outdoor lights need planning permission?
Many ordinary domestic lighting installations do not require planning permission, but property type, location and the scale or effect of exterior lighting can matter. If planning restrictions may apply, they should be checked for the specific property and proposal.
What if my lights keep tripping or flickering?
That may be a fault rather than an installation request. Repeated tripping or an unexplained intermittent problem should be diagnosed rather than simply covered by replacing fittings. See our Electrical Fault Finding Ealing page.
