New points and fittings
Define each room, fitting position, switching point and lighting purpose before ceilings or finishes close access.

Lighting installation, repairs and upgrades
Plan new lighting and upgrades around the room, switching, controls, existing circuit, ceiling access and the fitting manufacturer’s requirements—then test the completed electrical work.
Installation is more than choosing a fitting
Match the fitting, controls and circuit to the intended result.
A useful lighting brief separates the desired effect from the technical installation. Dimmers, sensors, smart controls, emergency fittings, wet locations and outdoor exposure can change product suitability and the electrical scope.
Repairs and upgrades
Investigate flicker, failure or tripping before assuming a lamp, driver or fitting is the only cause.
Controls and environments
Check dimmers, sensors, smart controls, emergency use and indoor or outdoor ratings against the selected equipment.
Prepare the brief
Give the electrician the room, fitting and control context.
Mark fitting and switch positions on a simple room plan.
List dimmers, sensors, timers and smart controls.
Share product specifications before final purchase.
Confirm ceiling access, working height and making-good responsibility.
Lighting repairs investigate failed or unreliable existing lighting. Lighting installation adds or replaces fittings, switching, controls or circuits. The final scope depends on the existing installation, access, product suitability and testing—not appearance alone.

Common questions
Lighting installation FAQs
Can Wesslink install customer-supplied light fittings?
Potentially, once the fitting, controls, installation environment and manufacturer information have been checked for suitability.
Is lighting installation the same as repairing flickering lights?
No. Installation adds or replaces equipment; flickering or tripping needs fault finding before the correct repair or upgrade is selected.
Can dimmers or smart controls be added?
They can be assessed, but compatibility depends on the lamps, drivers, controls, wiring and intended operation.
Does the quotation include ceiling repairs or painting?
Making-good responsibilities and exclusions should be stated in the written scope before work begins.
Ready to define the lighting scope?
Send the address, rooms or areas, intended lighting effect, control requirements, access limits and any products already selected. Wesslink can then confirm the appropriate assessment and quotation path.
