What happens on the day

- The swapThe new fitting, dimmer or switch is connected to the existing conductors, with each core in a tight terminal.
- Test and paperworkThe circuit is restored, the light or switch is checked and a minor works record is left when the change needs one.

WhatsAppHow much does a light fitting replacement cost?
Replacement of a light fitting, dimmer or switch starts at £50 with TMB Electrics. That figure is for one part on the cables already in the ceiling or wall. A second fitting or a new back box is added to the written price before the old part comes off.
Can you fit a light I have already bought?
Yes, TMB Electrics fits a pendant or switch you already own at the same £50 starting price. The new part has to match the wiring and the load on that circuit. A mismatch is explained while the old fitting is still up.
Do I need a certificate to change a light switch?
TMB Electrics issues a minor works record when a small change needs paperwork. Minor works certification starts at £80. A new lighting circuit is priced as rewiring, not as a fitting swap.
Will the power go off in the whole house?
TMB Electrics isolates the lighting circuit for that fitting or switch at the fuse board. Other circuits stay on unless they share that fuse. Power comes back once the new part has been tested.
Can a buzzing dimmer become a normal switch?
Yes, a dimmer can come out and a standard plate switch can go on the same cables. LED lamps that flicker on an old dimmer can run on a plain on and off switch. TMB Electrics tests the new switch on that circuit before leaving.
