Internal Lighting

Internal lighting includes any item that lights up your home. These can include lamps, pendants, fixtures, and LED lights. The type of lighting can alter the look of a room and with many different lighting options available on the market, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Although internal lighting can be installed yourself, it is recommended to hire an electrician who can install lighting to comply with current UK electrical standards (Part P section of UK building regulations).

Internal lighting service provided by electricians can include a fusebox replacement, internal lighting solutions, fitting internal lights, new bathroom and kitchen lighting, lighting checks, any rewiring and any new power sockets that need fitting.

It is recommended that internal lighting should be checked at least every 10 years in residential properties to ensure they comply with current UK electrical standards. This also includes a safety check on household electrics. This should be carried out by a licenced electrician who will be able to issue a certificate approving that your interior lighting is safe and up to date.
