Example decorate wall and then fix wall lights, ceiling light and new dimmer switches. Do they exist or do I need 2 tradespeople?

hello. simple answer to your question is no. you may find tradesmen that will do both but you really need an electrician to do your lights then they can supply you with a certificate. then a good quality decorator to finish the job. hope this helps stephen.

Hi, you would need a qualified electrician to do the lighting work, and a good decorator. The sparky needs to be Part P registered.

Hello, you must use a qualified electrician to carry out any electrical work not a decorator. The only way the same person could do it would be if the electrician to do both jobs, not the other way round. Thanks, good luck. George.
