From a single downlight to a full house retrofit. Same crew, same standard.

The lighting problem

  • One sad bulb in the middle of the room.
  • A double powerpoint behind the couch doing the work of six.
  • A dodgy switch you've been meaning to sort for a year.
  • The small jobs get put off because they feel too small to book.

Not with us. Same tidy work, same fixed price, whether it's one downlight or the whole house.

Ring us for one light. You'll get the same crew, the same care, and no sigh down the phone.

One light or the whole house, sorted tidy.

  1. Give us a call

    Tell us what you need, one light, a room, or the whole house. We'll work out whether it's a straight quote or a look first.

  2. Site visit or straight quote

    For a bigger job, we come and look at the room, the switchboard, the ceiling space. For a simple one, we can often quote off the details you give us.

  3. Clear quote, no surprises

    A fixed price with fittings, install, and testing spelled out. You know the number before we lift a tool.

  4. Installed tidy

    Fittings hung level, switches in the right spots, wired safe. Ceiling space left cleaner than we found it.

  5. Tested and certified

    Every fitting and powerpoint tested and signed off, paperwork in your hand. Backed by our workmanship guarantee.

If it's got a switch or a socket, we do it.

  • Downlights, single fittings, full-house LED retrofits
  • Extra powerpoints where you actually need them
  • Switches, dimmers, sensor and outdoor lights
  • Dodgy or scorched fittings swapped out safe
  • LED throughout so the power bill barely notices
  • Every fitting tested and certified before we leave

Fittings we'd put in our own ceilings.

Quality LED downlights and fittings that light the room properly and keep running for years.

Installed by us. Serviced by us. Same number in five years.

That's Southcombe.

    Josh and his team have completed two lighting/electrical jobs for us. His team are friendly, tidy and above all they respect both property and client.They turn up when they say they will , very reasonable pricing and they trod gently on our tiles when they needed to get on the roof. My home office no longer looks like a dark cave , the lights have been selected to avoid glare and we are very happy with the outcome, we will be regulars.

    Josh and his team did a great job of upgrading our down lights and wiring in our outdoor heater whilst we were away. Very efficient and easy company to deal with.
