Planning lighting installation in Selsdon
- 01
Loft conversions and extensions
New rooms need their lighting planned before plasterboard goes up, so cables and fittings can go in at first fix. Sloping loft ceilings and roof windows affect where lights work best. We can work with your builder so the lighting is ready when the room is.

Lighting a home office
A good home office has bright, even light without glare on the screen. Ceiling lights placed to the side of the desk, plus a desk or task light, reduce eye strain. Neutral white light helps you stay alert during working hours.

Bedroom lighting and switching
Bedrooms suit softer, warmer light with dimmers. Switches by the bed, or two-way switching between the door and bedside, mean you can turn off the main light without getting up. Reading lights on either side of the bed are popular too.
Booking a lighting installation in Selsdon
We cover Selsdon from our base in South Croydon. For extensions and lofts, we can join a site meeting with your builder. For existing rooms, we visit, agree the layout and send you a free quote.
The cabling goes in before plastering where possible, and the fittings go up once decorating is done. We test all the new lighting, check the switching works as planned and give you a certificate for the new circuits.

Lighting installation in Selsdon: your questions
When should lighting go in for a loft conversion in Selsdon?
The cables and back boxes should go in at first fix, after the framing is up and before the plasterboard. The fittings are fitted after plastering and decorating. Getting us booked in early with your builder avoids cutting into new ceilings later.
What lighting works best for a home office in Selsdon?
Even, bright light that doesn't reflect off your screen, usually from ceiling lights placed to the side of the desk rather than directly behind you. Add a task light for paperwork. Neutral white light is good for working hours, with a warmer setting for the evening.
Can you fit bedside switches for the main light in Selsdon?
Yes. We can add two-way switching so the main bedroom light works from both the door and the bed. Bedside reading lights can also be wired in. In a finished room, there will be some cable routing and making good to plan for.
Do you work with builders on extensions in Selsdon?
Yes. We're happy to fit around building work, agreeing the lighting layout with you and your builder, installing the cables at first fix and returning for second fix once the walls are finished. That keeps the project on track and avoids having to cut into new plaster later.
