West Elm Light Fitting in London
Swapping a ceiling light is electrical work, and a large West Elm chandelier also needs a ceiling fixing strong enough to hold it. Light fitting goes to pros who do electrical work, booked through JACK for a fixed price before you book.
In short
Yes. West Elm's chandelier listings say they are hardwired, its pendant and chandelier listings recommend professional installation, and its delivery team does not install lighting. JACK books pros who do electrical work to replace an existing light fitting in London with your West Elm pendant, chandelier or flush mount, for a fixed price before you book.
Send the product link, a photo of the existing light and the ceiling height. Light fitting replaces an existing light, so the new one goes where a light point already is. Adding a new light point or circuit is not part of this job.

What light fitting covers
With West Elm pendants, chandeliers and wall lights:
- The old fitting taken down and the new one connected to the existing light point
- Drop height set to suit the table or the room
- Heavy fittings hung from a fixing that carries the weight, not just the plasterboard
- Glass shades and arms assembled before hanging
How West Elm assembly is priced
A vetted pro prices your piece from the product link and a photo of the room, and the JACK app shows you that fixed price before you book.
The design moves the price far more than the size. A side table with screw-in legs is a short job. A solid-wood bed with a slatted base, a six-drawer dresser with runners to align, or a sectional sofa whose pieces clip together is a much longer one. Send the product link or a screenshot of the order so the price is for the piece you bought.
Several pieces from one delivery, such as a bed, two nightstands and a dresser, go on one booking for one price. Pieces from other shops can go on the same visit. Where parking has to be paid for, it is added at cost and agreed before you book.
Prefer to pay for the pro's time? Hourly hire works too: as a guide, furniture assembly is typically £35–£75 per hour. For a big delivery, a full-day handyman booking often suits: a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
How it works
Step 1
Share the piece and the room
Paste the West Elm product link or a screenshot of your order (not delivered yet? the link is enough to price from) and add a photo of the room. Mention stairs, a lift or a tight turn on the landing.
Step 2
See the price, pick a slot
A vetted pro prices the build from what you sent. Book once you are happy with the price, choosing a slot after your delivery date; evenings and weekends are available when pros have them.
Step 3
Built, checked, handed over
Parts are counted first, the piece is built and levelled, drawers and doors adjusted, tall pieces anchored and the packaging flattened for recycling. You follow it all in the JACK app.
