If you’ve got a broken or outdated light fitting at home, you might be wondering: how much will it cost to replace?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
