A clearer route to the right help
Get your home working properly.
Improve the lighting in your home or repair fittings that have stopped working. Amptex assists with lighting installations, replacements and maintenance, helping you discuss the fittings, locations and work required before the job is arranged.
Recognise the right enquiry
When to speak to our team
- Failed fittings, flickering lights or lighting that no longer suits the space.
- New indoor or outdoor fittings requiring installation.
- A planned LED upgrade for one room or the whole house.
Understand the work
From the symptoms to a practical plan
A lighting job can involve the fitting, its controls, the existing supply point and access to the installation. Explain whether you need a repair, a like-for-like replacement or a new lighting layout. Photos of the room and the selected fitting can help describe the project, but the electrical and mounting requirements still need to be considered.
Repair, replacement and the wider job
Keeping an existing fitting and changing a component is different from installing a new point or altering the layout. Access equipment, fitting compatibility and the condition of existing wiring can affect scope. For several rooms, a simple list of fittings per room keeps the quantities and positions clear.
For your home
Choosing lighting for the rooms you use
Replacing one fitting, adding a new point and changing a whole room layout involve different work. Describe the lighting problem or desired result before choosing an installation date. Selected fitting specifications, ceiling height and the position of existing switches help explain the enquiry without assuming that every fitting suits every location.

Before you book
Questions about this service
Does changing a light fitting always mean changing the wiring?
The answer depends on the existing installation and the new fitting. Describe what you want to change and ask for the installation requirements to be assessed. Do not assume either that all wiring needs replacement or that every new fitting is compatible with the current point.
Can you install fittings I have already selected?
Tell the team which fittings you have, where they will be used and whether existing points are available. Suitability and the installation requirements can then be discussed.
Where and when can I arrange this service?
