Vaulted Ceiling Light Replacement for Period Home

Our electrical team travelled to St Mawgan to carry out a specialist lighting installation for a client with a beautiful character property. The project involved replacing existing light fittings with new designer pendant lights in both the living room and dining areas where the property featured stunning vaulted ceilings with original wooden beams.

The property presented several interesting challenges that required careful planning and execution. The vaulted ceilings reached significant heights, necessitating the use of specialised access equipment to safely complete the installation. Our electricians brought a professional high-access platform that allowed them to work securely at height while protecting the client’s property.

Working within period properties always requires additional care. The exposed wooden beams and unique ceiling structure meant our team needed to take extra precautions during the installation process. The electricians worked meticulously to ensure the new wiring complemented the architectural features without compromising the character of the space.

The client had selected striking rattan pendant lights that featured a multi-tiered design, creating a warm, diffused glow that perfectly complemented the rustic beamed ceiling. These statement light fixtures required careful handling and precise positioning to achieve the desired effect. Each pendant was installed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring perfect alignment and secure fixings.

Prior to installation, our electricians disconnected and safely removed the old light fittings. They then inspected the existing ceiling roses and wiring infrastructure to confirm everything was sound before proceeding with the installation of the new fixtures. This thorough approach forms part of our standard practice for replacement work, providing an opportunity to identify any potential issues with the existing electrical infrastructure.

The client’s choice of light fittings proved ideal for the space, adding a contemporary touch while harmonising beautifully with the period features. The warm illumination cast by the rattan shades creates interesting patterns across the ceiling and walls, enhancing the architectural features of the room. The final result transforms both spaces, demonstrating how thoughtfully chosen lighting can dramatically alter the ambience of a room.

For properties with vaulted or high ceilings, specialist lighting installations like this one require professional expertise to execute safely and effectively. Our electricians’ experience with period properties ensured the project was completed to the highest standard, with minimal disruption to the client’s home.

Upon completion, all work areas were thoroughly cleaned, and the client was provided with a full demonstration of their new lighting. The transformation was immediate, with the new pendant lights creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that showcases the character of their beautiful home.
