How much does Christmas light installation cost?+
Straightforward suitable work may use the normal £70 first-hour rate and £35 per additional 30 minutes. This is a labour rate, not a fixed price for a complete outdoor display. The length and type of lights, fitting height, access and fixing points affect the time needed. Larger displays, business premises and combined installation-and-removal packages are assessed and quoted separately. Materials are additional, and January take-down is not included unless agreed.
Can you fit Christmas lights I have already bought?+
Yes, the service is for suitable customer-supplied lights and decorations rather than a lighting hire or supply package. Send product links or photos and any manufacturer instructions, along with photos of the intended display area. Products must be complete, undamaged and suitable for their location; outdoor lights and leads must be intended for outdoor use. Discuss any required clips, fixings or small consumable materials before the visit.
Can you put up outdoor Christmas lights?+
Yes, suitable outdoor displays can include doorway, garden and safely accessible fascia lights. Lights and leads must be intended for outdoor use, undamaged and used through a suitable existing RCD-protected supply in accordance with their instructions. The products, fixing points, cable route and access are checked before fitting is agreed.
Can you fit Christmas lights to fascia boards above ground?+
Yes, suitable fascia boards, porch edges and other above-ground positions may be considered after Jamie assesses the height, access, ground conditions, fixing points, equipment and weather. Send full-frontage photos and an approximate height. Photos support an initial assessment; an on-site check may still be needed before the job is accepted.
Do you walk on roofs or fit chimney displays?+
No. Fascia-level fitting from assessed suitable access is different from walking on a roof. Roof walking, roof ridges, chimneys, tree climbing and specialist installations requiring scaffold towers or powered access are outside this service.
Will fitting the lights damage my fascia or property?+
The surface, existing fixings and suitable product clips are assessed before work is agreed. Jamie will discuss any proposed new fixings first; not every surface allows a removable or mark-free fitting. Loose or fragile fascia boards, unsuitable fixing points or an unsafe cable route may mean changing the plan or declining the display.
Can I arrange January take-down at the same time?+
Yes. Ask about installation and take-down together so both visits, likely time and packing expectations can be discussed, subject to availability.
Where do you fit Christmas lights around Leicester?+
A–Z is based in LE3 and normally covers Leicester and nearby Leicestershire villages within roughly 12 miles, including Leicester Forest East, Glenfield, Kirby Muxloe and Enderby. Send your postcode and display photos so Jamie can confirm coverage, suitability and availability before anything is booked.
Can you decorate a shop or office?+
Suitable customer-supplied trees, reception displays, window lights, entrance garlands and safely accessible fascia lights for smaller premises may be considered after access, operating hours, products and fixing points have been checked.
