Antique chandeliers and period lighting often require careful rewiring to ensure safe use with modern electrical systems. We carry out electrification sympathetically, preserving the appearance and character of each item while ensuring safe, reliable use. Work may be undertaken in situ or at our workshop, depending on the complexity of the chandelier.
Serving Hertfordshire, London, the Home Counties and beyond
