Lamp Rewire & Restoration Electrical Services - Your Choice of Cable Colour

Got an old lamp that needs some love to get it working again in line with current electrical standards?

Our Services:

Basic Rewire - using new cable to rewire in line with modern standards; or

Complete Refurbishment - taken apart, all parts cleaned, and includes replacing any old parts that cannot be re-used.

Which Lamps Do We Refurbish:

Our basic rewire/refurbish service is for standard table lamps and pendant lamps with one standard light bulb fitting. If you have a lamp that is a bit unusual, or takes more than one light bulb, get in touch for a quote. Note that large lamps may be subject to an additional postage cost.

Repair is subject to the availability of replacement parts, if you think your lamp has a broken part that it may be hard to source replacements for please contact us before purchase.

Desk, Floor, Wall & Unusual Table Lamps

We can refurbish desk lamps, floor lamps and more unusual table lamps by prior agreement as we cannot guarantee we can find any spare parts that are required.

Please contact us if you have a desk lamp, floor or wall lamp, or unusual table lamp, in need of work. We will request a few photos of the electrical parts of these lamps to ascertain if we will be able to help.

We do rewire Anglepoise lamps, but these are fiddly and quite time-consuming, and as a guide we charge £80-£90 including any basic component parts that may need replacing.

Choose Your Cable:

Standard colours: black and white (round or braided) fabric cable, dark brown, dark blue, light blue, gold and orange (all braided) fabric cable. We can also use black, white or clear/transparent plastic cable if you would prefer - just let us know.

Custom colours: for an additional charge we can use a special order colour such as red, purple and turquoise - just let know and we'll do our best to find the perfect colour! The cost will depend on the size of the lamp.

For table lamps we will rewire your lamp using high quality vintage style braided cable in your choice of black, dark brown, dark blue, (all lamps) white, light blue, old gold and burnt orange (only those lamps that don't have metal lamp holders/fittings). 

For pendant lamps we recommend round cable. We will use black or white fabric cable as standard or for an additional charge you can choose a custom colour such as red, purple, turquoise, light blue, orange or gold.

Additional Parts

We may have to replace parts. If you have chosen the basic rewire service, parts will typically total an additional cost of £10 per lamp. The replacement of basic parts is included in the cost of the full refurbishment service.

Note that if your lamp requires replacement of a bespoke part, that will be subject to availability and an additional cost may be charged. If you think that your lamp may have broken bespoke parts then please get in touch before before purchase.

Options With Parts

Switches: standard switches are black or white plastic. Clear (transparent) and gold switches are available as special order items. Dimmer switches are also available but will add a cost of £25 per dimmer to your order.

Lampholders: standard lampholders are black or white E27 Bakelite (high quality plastic) lampholders. Upgrades to high quality British-made metal E27 lampholders in various finishes (brass etc) are available at a cost of £15 per metal lampholder. Depending on the lamp we may also use plastic or metal B22 (traditional British) lampholders or E14 plastic lampholders - we will advise you if this is the case.

Plugs: standard UK plugs are black or white with transparant available as a special order item.

Please Note

We promise to treat your lamps with great care but old things can be fragile and unfortunately there is the chance of breakages when they are being worked on. In particular plastic becomes brittle over time, and old paint has a tendency to flake off, especially after lengthy exposure to the heat of incandescent lightbulbs.

Getting Your Lamp To Us

We operate a drop off/collection service from Reigate, Surrey RH2 or you can post the lamp to us and we will return in the post. If an item is particularly large, fragile or valuable there may be an additional postage cost.
