Plan this job

The decisions that
shape the work.

A feature light needs the right position, hanging height and support. The chosen fitting and access above the ceiling determine any work beyond replacing the visible light.

01

Position and drop

Use the table, island or furniture layout to settle the light's position and final hanging height. Share the ceiling height, fitting dimensions and any adjustable-drop details. These help align the fitting with the room and establish whether the chosen product can achieve the height you want.

02

Weight and support

Send the product information, including its weight and fixing instructions. The ceiling, supporting structure and fixings need to suit the fitting, particularly for heavier lights. Mention high ceilings or difficult access so the installation can be planned safely.

03

Connection and control

Share details of the existing light, the new fitting and any dimming you would like. The wiring, connection and controls need to suit the chosen product. Any alterations needed to support the new light should be included in the agreed work.

Practical answers

Questions about pendants & feature lights.

Can a heavy chandelier replace a normal pendant?

The fitting weight, fixing instructions, ceiling structure and access need checking first. A decorative ceiling rose does not establish that the support is suitable.

Ask Max about this
Can the light be moved above my dining table?

Yes, if a suitable cable route and ceiling support can be provided at the new position. Confirm the final table position first and allow for repairs at the old light point and any access openings.

Ask Max about this
Can I buy the fitting before asking for installation?

Have the specification checked before purchase where possible. Weight, dimensions, suspension and electrical requirements can affect installation cost or suitability, particularly for a heavy chandelier or a fitting above a high ceiling.

Ask Max about this
When should pendant positions be agreed during a kitchen renovation?

Agree positions against the final island or table dimensions before the ceiling routes close. Cabinet or furniture changes can make an early guess look misplaced. Provide the fitting specification too, since its size, suspension and support may affect the work even when the electrical point is already nearby.

Ask Max about this
Can several pendants replace one ceiling light?

Yes, where suitable routes, support and controls can be provided. Separate ceiling points usually involve different work from one multi-drop fitting at the existing point. Final positions should follow the furniture layout, with any ceiling repairs included in the plan.

Ask Max about this
Will moving a pendant leave a hole in the ceiling?

The old position and any cable-access openings may need making good. The amount depends on the ceiling construction and available access. Ask which repairs are included in the electrical quotation and which need a plasterer or decorator, particularly if you want to keep an existing decorative ceiling finish.
