Hertfordshire · Salvage & bespoke lighting
Old light, made
strange and beautiful.
We buy, repair, rewire and reimagine lighting — from clearance finds and family heirlooms to quietly mad one-off commissions. Vintage or new, domestic or commercial, every piece leaves the bench tested and glowing.

What we do
Six ways to bring a lamp
back into the light.
Sourcing, saving and re-imagining — the whole life of a fixture, handled in one workshop.
Repairs
Frayed flex, dead lampholders, cracked shades, tired switches. We fault-find properly instead of replacing the whole thing.
- Cable & accessory replacement
- Switches, sockets, dimmers
- Safety checks & testing
Restore
Stripped back, cleaned through, stabilised and finished. Original patina kept where it matters, damage sent packing.
- De-grease & deep clean
- Rust, corrosion & tarnish
- Air-line detailing
Rewire
Old fittings made safe to modern UK standards — new flex, earths, sleeving and terminations, 13 amp down to 5 amp.
- Vintage & modern fittings
- 13 A to 5 A conversion
- Certified & PAT tested
Recolour
Chrome tired? Plate worn? We re-paint, re-plate and re-finish metalwork — switches, sockets and fittings alike.
- Brass, copper & blackened finishes
- Spray & hand-finish
- Colour-matched to your room
Create & repurpose
Bespoke builds and happy accidents: toys, tools, memorabilia and salvage turned into working sculpture.
- Commissioned one-offs
- Design & build service

The route to light
Four steps, no shortcuts.
The same bench, the same order of work, whether it's a £15 car-boot find or a listed-building fitting.

1
Salvage
We hunt, assess and buy — or take on your piece. Honest advice on whether it's worth saving before you spend a penny.
-
2
Strip & test
Down to components. Cable, insulation and every joint inspected; failed parts logged and replaced, not hidden.
-
3
Rebuild
Rewire, restore, re-plate or repurpose. New flex, correct earthing, modern terminations inside the original shell.
-
4
Relight
Full tests, results recorded, then installed by a competent electrician or handed over ready to plug in.
Beyond the fixture
Rooms that glow
in layers.
Lighting isn't just what hangs from the ceiling. We rewire rooms, move circuits and build scenes — so a space has mood as well as light.
- LED profiles for ceilings, walls, floors & stairs
- Picture-rail & artwork lighting
- New circuits, or cable relocated for new and old fittings
- Multi-way & dimmed scenes, room by room
- Full room rewires to UK standards
Most of what comes through the door was one bad flex away from the tip. We'd rather spend an afternoon saving it, and send it out with a proper test sheet and another fifty years in it.
