FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you specialise in for modern Manchester properties?
We design and install a full range of lighting solutions, including energy-efficient LED downlights, smart RGBW strip lighting, architectural feature lighting, exterior façade illumination, and integrated smart-home lighting control systems. Whether you want subtle mood lighting for a city-centre apartment or a complete office retrofit, our engineers tailor each project to complement contemporary interior and exterior design trends.
How long does a typical domestic lighting upgrade take from survey to completion?
For an average three-bedroom home, the timeline is usually 7–10 working days. Day 1 is a free on-site survey and design consultation. Within 48 hours you receive a specification, quotation, and lighting plan. Once approved, we schedule installation—normally 2–4 days on site depending on the scope. A final walkthrough and commissioning session happen on the last day to ensure every fitting and control scene is perfect.
Will my new lighting system reduce energy bills?
Yes. Switching from halogen or incandescent bulbs to high-efficiency LEDs can cut lighting energy consumption by up to 80 %. When combined with occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and zoned dimming, many clients see overall electricity bill reductions of 20–30 % within the first year. We supply an estimated payback analysis with every quotation so you can see projected savings.
Are your installations compliant with UK regulations and building control requirements?
Absolutely. All work is carried out by NICEIC-approved electricians who certify to BS 7671 Wiring Regulations (18th Edition). We complete the Part P building control notification for domestic clients and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate on handover. Emergency and external lighting designs also follow BS 5266 and BS EN 12464 standards where applicable.
Can you integrate smart lighting with my existing home automation platform?
Yes. We are experienced with popular ecosystems such as Philips Hue, Lutron, Rako, KNX, Control4, and Alexa/Google Assistant voice control. During the design phase we confirm compatibility, supply the required bridges or modules, and program scenes so you can control every zone via smartphone, touch panel, or voice commands.
How much will a lighting upgrade cost in Manchester?
Costs vary with property size, fixture specification, and control complexity. As a guideline, modern LED downlight replacement starts around £45–£70 per point installed, while a full smart-home lighting package (including control modules and commissioning) typically ranges from £3,000–£8,000 for an average residential property. We provide transparent, fixed-price quotations after the initial survey, and finance options are available for larger commercial projects.
