Two pendant lights in an NG1 apartment replaced with decorative fittings, booked online and done within an hour.
A quick summary of this project
This planned lighting job took place at an apartment in Nottingham City Centre, NG1. The client wanted the existing pendant fittings in the lounge and bedroom replaced with decorative lights, and booked the work through our website.
Our electricians arrived at the agreed time and swapped both fittings in under an hour. The work caused minimal disruption, the apartment was left clean, and the client was pleased with how the new lights looked.
What the customer's situation was before we got involved
The client wanted to update the look of two rooms in their city centre apartment. The lounge and bedroom each had a standard pendant light fitting, and they had chosen decorative lights to replace them.
Changing a light fitting means working on the lighting circuit, so the client wanted a qualified electrician rather than a DIY swap. They also wanted the job done neatly and quickly, without a long disruption to their home. Booking online let them choose a convenient time and know exactly when to expect us.
The work carried out on this job
The client booked the job through our online booking system, and our electricians arrived at the apartment on time, as scheduled.
The work involved replacing two existing pendant light fittings, one in the lounge and one in the bedroom, with the decorative lights the client had chosen. Before starting on each fitting, the lighting circuit was made safe so the old pendant could be taken down. The new decorative light was then connected and secured in its place.
Because the existing pendant positions were being reused, the job was straightforward. No new cable runs or changes to the lighting layout were needed, which kept disruption to a minimum. Both replacements were completed within an hour.
Working in a lived-in apartment, we took care to protect the space and keep the mess down. Once the lights were fitted, our team cleared away the old fittings and packaging and left both rooms clean and tidy.
The client was pleased with the result. The two new decorative lights have given the lounge and bedroom a more finished look, and the client had a simple experience from booking online to the job being done.
Replacing a pendant light with a decorative fitting is one of the quickest ways to change how a room looks and feels. Having a qualified electrician fit it means the new light is connected and secured properly, whatever its style or weight.

Common questions about this project
Yes. Many customers choose their own decorative light and book us to fit it. It helps to tell us about the fitting when you book, including its type and approximate weight, so we can check it suits the existing ceiling position. In this NG1 apartment, the client’s chosen lights replaced the old pendants in the lounge and bedroom.
A straightforward pendant light replacement using the existing ceiling position is usually a quick job. In this Nottingham City Centre apartment, two fittings were replaced in under an hour. Larger or heavier decorative lights, or fittings that need a new position or extra support, can take longer.
Changing a light fitting involves working on the lighting circuit, so it’s best done by a qualified electrician. An electrician will make the circuit safe, connect the new fitting correctly and make sure it’s securely fixed. This matters most with decorative lights, which can be heavier or more complex than a standard pendant.
