Lighting installation prices

Always let a recognised specialist install the lighting. An electrician knows exactly how to connect the lighting. This reduces the risk of short circuits, overloading or other complications later on. The cost of installing lighting strongly depends on the size of your project, the type of lighting and your wishes and needs. Below is a price overview about installing lighting in your home. All prices include connecting materials, installation and display VAT, but exclude luminaires.

Good:

You want to equip a small room with only a few lighting points, keeping the overall cost down. In relatively small rooms, such as the hallway, bathroom or bedroom, you should consider an average of £140 per room.

Larger room:

You choose to install several lighting points in a room that needs a lot of light. Examples of spaces that need a lot of lighting are the kitchen and the living room. For a project like this, you need to take into account an average of £ 390 – £ 660.

Large lighting requirement:

Are you going to move into a newly built house soon and want to equip the entire house with lighting? For a large project like this, take into account prices averaging £1,700 – £2,000.

What does this price structure look like?

The price for installing lighting is made up of several components. The total cost includes the following components: labour costs and material costs. Drainage and call-out charges are often included in an electrician’s labour costs.

What does this price depend on?

Choice 1: Hourly rate electrician

Electricians charge an hourly rate for the work to be done or a total price per project. Prices for installing lighting by a licensed specialist vary. The hourly rate varies up to £25 per hour. A lower hourly rate of the electrician does not necessarily mean that you are cheaper. In fact, this specialist may not work as efficiently as a more expensive electrician, so it may even save you money to choose a specialist with a slightly higher hourly rate. It is therefore important that you choose the best value for money. Check that you are dealing with a true professional. KOMO instal is an example of a recognised quality mark for electricians and Uneto-VNI is the trade association for electricians. You can assume you are dealing with a professional if the electrician is affiliated with this. With a specialist who has a VCA certification, you are also assured that this electrician will do everything to prevent unsafe situations.

Choice 2: Size of the project

The size of your project will determine the final costs. Will you have the entire house fitted with lighting or just the hallway and living room? The more light points you want to install in the house, the more expensive the project will become. Count on about £100 per additional light point.

Choice 3: Additional options

When you think of lighting, you don’t only think of ceiling lights and wall lights, but also of table lamps and floor lamps. The locations of available sockets in your home are very important here. An electrician has the ability to relocate sockets to a better place if desired.
