Prices checked October 2026. These are guide prices, not quotes. Prices vary by region, property, access and specification, so get itemised quotes before you commit.
Sources
Number of rooms, and whether the design covers garden and exterior lighting
Hourly rate or fixed project fee, and how many revisions and site visits are included
Smart control, dimming scenes and architectural details such as LED strips and recessed profiles
Ask each shortlisted company to confirm the same scope and timeline. Avoid comparing a design fee with a quote that also includes fittings and installation; also avoid fixing ceiling positions before the kitchen and furniture layout is final and forgetting that new circuits and downlights need a qualified electrician and certification.
