Pendant Light & Chandelier Fitting in London
That light you love, hanging where it should be — fitted safely by a vetted electrician, tested, and working before they leave. Send a photo of the fitting and your ceiling, get a fixed price in the app in about two minutes.
A new pendant or chandelier changes a room in an evening — if the wiring behind the ceiling rose cooperates. A vetted electrician makes it routine: isolated safely, fitted to take the weight, tested, and working the same day.

How pricing works
You get a fixed price for your light fitting in the Jack All Trades app before you book — no call-out fee for a half-hour job.
Tell JACK what you are fitting and share a photo of the light and the ceiling where it is going. The price reflects the fitting — a simple pendant swap is quicker than a heavy chandelier — plus the ceiling height and how many lights you are doing in the visit. You will have a fixed price in about two minutes.
Booking several lights in one visit is the smart move: the second and third fittings cost far less than the first, because the electrician is already there with the ladder up.
How it works
Step 1
Show JACK the light and the ceiling
A photo of the fitting (or the product link) and one of the ceiling rose. Mention high ceilings or stairwells so the right access kit comes along.
Step 2
Get a fixed price and pick a slot
See your fixed price in about two minutes and book a time that suits — evenings and weekends included.
Step 3
Fitted, tested, and working
Power isolated safely, old fitting removed, new one fitted and secured properly, then tested — and the old fitting taken down neatly if you want rid of it.
What's included in your light fitting
The fixed price covers the whole job, done safely — not a dangling wire and a half-finished ceiling.
- Safe isolation at the fuse board before any wires are touched
- Old fitting removed and the new one installed and secured to take its weight
- Wiring connected correctly, including fittings with unfamiliar or European colour codes
- Everything tested and working, switches checked, bulbs in if you have them ready
- Packaging tidied and the old fitting left boxed or taken down for disposal
What London electricians fit every week
If it hangs, glows, or screws to a ceiling or wall, it is routine work:
- Pendant lights and ceiling roses — the classic swap that transforms a room
- Chandeliers and heavy statement fittings, fixed into the joist, not just the plasterboard
- Multi-pendant clusters and track lighting over kitchen islands
- Wall lights and picture lights
- Fluorescent tubes swapped for modern LED battens and panels
- Bathroom lighting with the right moisture rating for the zone
- Dimmer switches added so the new light earns its keep
Why a light fitting is an electrician's half hour
A light swap looks simple until the wires do not match the diagram. This is why the job is done by a vetted electrician, not a ladder and luck:
- Older London homes hide surprises at the rose — no earth, shared neutrals, or three cables where the diagram shows one
- Heavy chandeliers must be fixed into structure; a plasterboard-only fixing is how fittings end up on the floor
- Like-for-like swaps do not need certification, and anything bigger — new switch positions, extra lighting points — is quoted properly through the app
- Everything is tested before the electrician leaves, so the light works the first time you flick the switch that evening
Frequently asked questions
Can you fit a light I bought online or abroad?
Yes — European wiring colours and unfamiliar fittings are everyday work for an electrician. Share the product link or a photo with your request.
Can you do several lights in one visit?
Yes, and it is the best-value way to book — the second and third fittings cost far less than the first because the electrician is already there.
Where do you cover?
All London boroughs, seven days a week, with evening and weekend slots often available.
How much does it cost to fit a pendant light in London?
It depends on the fitting, the ceiling height, and how many lights you book in one visit — JACK confirms a fixed price in the app before you book, in about two minutes. A straightforward pendant swap is one of the quickest electrical jobs there is, and there is no call-out fee.
Do I need an electrician to change a light fitting?
Legally, a simple like-for-like swap is not notifiable work — but the ceiling rose is where DIY goes wrong: unfamiliar wiring colours, missing earths, and shared neutrals in older homes. A vetted electrician isolates the circuit, wires it correctly, and tests it — for a fitting you use every day, it is cheap certainty.
How long does fitting a pendant light take?
Around 30-60 minutes for a straightforward pendant swap, longer for chandeliers, high ceilings, or multi-light visits. Book several fittings in one slot and the electrician works through them all.
Can you hang a heavy chandelier?
Yes — that is exactly when to book a pro. Heavy fittings are fixed into the ceiling joist or with rated fixings that take the real weight, never just into plasterboard. Tell JACK the weight (or share the product link) so the right fixings come along.
Can you remove a chandelier or old fitting without replacing it?
Yes. Removals are routine — the wiring is safely terminated and capped, and you keep the fitting for the next home or it is taken away. Moving out and taking your lights with you is one of the most common versions of this job.
The new light has different wires than my ceiling — is that a problem?
Almost never. European fittings, older UK wiring colours, and missing earth terminals are everyday finds for an electrician. Send a photo of your ceiling rose with the request and the job is priced with no surprises.
Can you fit lights on very high ceilings or stairwells?
Yes — mention it in the app so the electrician brings the right access equipment. Stairwell pendants and double-height hallways are a two-person or platform job done safely, not a wobbly-ladder improvisation.
