Key points

Electrics and light fittings

Any work on the electrical circuit — a new light point, moving a switch, changing the consumer unit — is for a qualified professional, with the power off at the breaker. Extension leads and adapters do not replace an installation: they are not daisy-chained and never run under a rug. A fitting is chosen to suit the room, particularly in a bathroom, and hot bulbs stay away from fabric and paper shades.

Limits and permissions

Decoration does not touch the structure: drilling a load-bearing wall, altering a partition or working on electrics, gas or plumbing is for qualified professionals. Before drilling, locate the conduits and pipes, and choose fixings suited to the surface and the weight. In a rental or a building with shared rules, check what the lease or the rules allow before making lasting changes.
