Light & Downlight Installation — Trusted Electricians, Clear Quotes

What's covered

A pro can quote for any of the following:

Installing new ceiling lights or pendant fixtures onto an existing ceiling rose or junction box
Installing recessed downlights (LED or otherwise) into a finished ceiling
Cutting and finishing downlight apertures in plasterboard, gypsum, or lightweight ceiling panels
Connecting fixtures to existing wiring and switching
Replacing like-for-like fixtures (same position, same circuit)
Installing fan-light combination units onto existing ceiling fan points
Basic testing and sign-off once installation is complete

Typically needs a separate quote: Adding new circuits or consumer unit (breaker) work; full ceiling re-wiring or conduit runs; structural ceiling repairs before lights can be mounted; smart-home or dimmer integration beyond standard switching; outdoor or waterproof-rated fixture installation in wet zones.

How Borigandee works

Describe your job. Tell us how many points, what type of fixture, and anything specific about your ceiling — the more detail, the sharper the quotes.
Get up to five quotes from verified pros. Electricians who match your job send their quotes directly. No pressure, no middleman pushing you anywhere.
Compare and book. Look at price, tier, and profile. Choose the pro you're confident in and confirm the booking.
Payment held safely until you approve. Your payment is held and released to the pro only when you confirm the job is done to your satisfaction. The pro is paid the same day you approve.

Verified pros, real trust

Every electrician on Borigandee is ID-verified — that's the baseline, and it applies to every pro on the platform without exception.

Higher-tier pros carry additional checks: Reference checked (Bronze and above) means previous clients have been contacted and their feedback verified. The top tier adds a full Background checked — a real criminal-record check, not a self-declaration.

For electrical work specifically, Borigandee also confirms license-verified where the law requires it (DSD). Thailand's Department of Skilled Workers mandates licensing for building electricians; we check it so you don't have to.

If something about the finished job isn't right, our dispute process handles it directly — you, the pro, and our team work through it, and payment can be released in full, partially, or returned depending on what's agreed. You stay in control of the money until the outcome is resolved.

How pricing works

Light and downlight installation is priced per point — each light position is quoted individually, so you can see exactly what each part of the job costs before you commit to anything.

Factors that typically affect a quote: the type of ceiling (concrete slab, gypsum board, suspended tile), the fixture itself (if you're supplying it or asking the pro to source it), the number of points, and whether any existing wiring needs adjustment. Pros state their price clearly upfront; there's no haggling once you've accepted a quote, and no surprise add-ons after the job starts without your agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do quotes and booking work?

Once you describe your job, electricians who are available and suited to it send you individual quotes through the app. You're not committed to anything until you choose a pro and confirm. You can ask questions through the platform before deciding.

Is my payment safe?

Yes. Your payment is held safely from the moment you book and is only released to the pro when you confirm the job is complete. If you haven't approved, the pro isn't paid — it's that straightforward.

What happens if I'm not happy with the work?

Open a dispute through the platform. Our team reviews the situation with you and the pro, and payment is resolved from there — full release, partial release, or a return of funds, depending on what the evidence shows. You don't lose access to the money while the dispute is open.

How do I know the electrician is qualified?

Every pro is ID-verified before they can quote on the platform. For electrical work, we additionally confirm DSD licensing where the law requires it. Higher-tier pros have had their references checked with past clients, and top-tier pros have passed a criminal background check. Each pro's tier and verified badges are visible on their profile before you book.

Do I need to supply the light fixtures myself?

You can go either way — describe your preference when you post the job. Some pros can source and supply fixtures and will include that in their quote; others prefer you supply the fittings and quote for labour only. Either approach works; just be clear in your job description so quotes are accurate.

Working with household electrics carries real risk of shock, fire, or a failed inspection. For anything beyond swapping a bulb, use a verified, licensed electrician rather than attempting it yourself — it's the safer call and often a legal requirement for permitted work.
