Lighting repair in London
Silver Saints trace and repair lighting faults across London. Lights out, tripping, flickering or a dead switch. Many faults are found and fixed within the first half-hour to an hour.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. Estimate before we start.
What we fix
We find the cause first, then repair it. Most faults come down to one connection, one fitting or one switch, and many are cleared inside the hour.
Lights not working on a circuit
A whole circuit dead, traced back from the consumer unit to the fitting at fault.
Lights tripping the consumer unit
The breaker dropping as soon as the light goes on, usually one fitting or cable.
Flickering or dimming lights
Often a loose connection, or an LED driver and dimmer that do not match.
A switch that has stopped working
Worn contacts or a loose terminal, including two-way switching that half works.
Downlights failing one by one
A shared driver or transformer taking the lights down in sequence.
A room with no lighting
Nothing on at all, so we start at the switch and work back to the circuit.
Intermittent faults
A light that works until it does not, tested until the fault shows itself.
Buzzing dimmers or transformers
Noise from a dimmer or driver under load, which means it is wrong or failing.
Tracing a fault to its cause
We find why it failed, not just what failed, so it does not come back.
We work on lighting circuits, consumer units and MCBs, loop-in wiring, switches and two-way switching, dimmers, LED drivers and transformers, and downlight fittings, in plasterboard and period ceilings. We bring the testers, tools and the common parts.
Different job? If the light works but you want a new one, see repair and replace light fittings. For a bulb or a failed transformer see replacing bulbs and transformers. For a new circuit or a certificate see electrical installations, testing and inspection, and for a socket see sockets and switches.
What it costs
Labour only, charged by time. Parts are on top and you get an estimate before we start. Many faults are traced and repaired within the first half-hour to an hour.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. London lighting runs from original loop-in wiring in period houses to LED downlights in new-builds, and both fail in their own ways. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
A reported lighting fault needs clearing quickly. We arrange access with your tenant or collect keys from your agent, so you do not need to attend.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
How we find the fault
First we isolate the circuit and check the obvious: the switch, the fitting and the connection behind it.
Then we work back along the circuit, testing as we go, until the fault shows itself. Access to the switch or fitting is what sets the pace.
Last we repair the cause, test the circuit before it goes back into use, and tell you what had failed and why.
