If you’ve got a broken or outdated light fitting at home, you might be wondering: how much will it cost to replace?
The good news is that in Blackburn, having a handyman like me replace your light fitting is a quick, affordable job compared to hiring a full electrician.
Typical Costs in Blackburn
The cost to replace a standard light fitting in Blackburn usually ranges from:
- £60 – £70 for a simple replacement (like swapping a ceiling pendant)
- £60 – £100 for more complex fittings (like spotlights or chandeliers)
- £70 – £100+ if extra wiring or multiple fittings are involved
These prices are far lower than calling out an electrician, who may charge a higher hourly rate for small jobs.
What Affects the Cost?
A few things can influence the price of replacing a light fitting:
- 🔧 Type of fitting – standard pendant vs. more complex chandeliers or downlights
- 🏠 Access – high ceilings, stairwells, or awkward spaces can take longer
- 💡 Extra work – if wiring is damaged or unsafe, this may add cost
- 🔌 Number of fittings – swapping several lights at once is often more cost-effective
Why Choose a Handyman Instead of an Electrician?
For small jobs like light fittings, you don’t usually need a full electrician. A local handyman can:
- Save you money with lower call-out fees
- Get the job done quickly and safely
- Help with other small household jobs while they’re there
