Fit a light or ceiling fan: the basics
What the job involves
Replacing a light fitting like-for-like is quick; adding downlights, moving a light or adding a new switch means new cable and sometimes a new ceiling rose or junction box. An electrician will isolate the lighting circuit, fit and test the new fitting, and check the fitting is suitable for the room (bathrooms need a rated fitting).
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Have the fitting on site, with instructions, and say whether the ceiling is plasterboard or lath-and-plaster. Ask about any making good and whether the quote covers all the fittings or a price per light.
Safety and good to know
Modern downlights in a loft space need the right type and clearance from insulation; fire-rated fittings are needed in some ceilings. Never work on a lighting circuit with only the switch off; the circuit must be isolated at the consumer unit. Electrical work in homes should be done by a competent registered electrician (for example NICEIC or NAPIT registered): ask for proof of registration and for the certificate that goes with the work.

Can I change a light fitting myself?
Replacing a fitting like-for-like is not notifiable work, but you still need to isolate the circuit and connect the cores correctly. Many people prefer an electrician, who will also test the circuit.
