Lighting Design & Installation

Downlights, pendants, chandeliers, LED strips and garden lighting — designed and installed to transform rooms.

Good lighting changes how a home feels more than almost anything else you can spend money on. We design and install complete lighting schemes — recessed downlights, statement pendants and chandeliers, LED strip and cove lighting, under-cabinet kitchen lighting, staircase and low-level lighting, and exterior schemes for gardens and side returns.

A lot of our lighting work is in period properties around Hammersmith, Chiswick and Kensington, where the difference between a beautiful result and a mess is care: finding fixing points in lath-and-plaster ceilings, hanging a heavy chandelier from a proper support, running cables without wrecking original cornicing.

We’ll advise on colour temperature, dimming and switching layouts (including smart controls) so the scheme works at 8am and 11pm — not just in the showroom.

Downlights done properly

Badly planned downlights turn a ceiling into an airport runway. We plan positions around what the light needs to do — task light over worktops, wall-washing for art and alcoves, warm pools in sitting rooms — and always fit fire-rated, insulation-safe fittings with the right beam angle for the ceiling height.

Statement fittings and period ceilings

A five-kilo brass chandelier cannot hang off a plastic dry-lining box. We fix into joists or fit proper load-rated supports, use the existing ceiling rose where the period detail deserves keeping, and balance multi-arm fittings so they hang true.

FAQs

Lighting Design & Installation — your questions

How many downlights do I need?
Fewer than most people think. As a rough rule one per 1.2–1.5 square metres of area that actually needs light, positioned for the room’s tasks rather than in a rigid grid. We’ll sketch a layout before any holes are cut.
Can you fit a light where there’s no existing wiring?
Yes — we run new switched circuits for pendants, wall lights and LED runs, and we’re careful about routing so redecoration is minimal.
Do you install customer-supplied light fittings?
Happily — many clients buy statement fittings themselves. We check the fitting is safe and suitable, then install and certify the wiring side.
