  • Removing living room spots, connecting a feed to centre of room for pendant light.

    Hi - I'm wondering what a going rate would be for the disconnection and removal of 6 living room spot lights, and sending a feed to the centre of the room. I have identified the spot that feeds the others. All I would need is the physical lights themselves to be disconnected and removed and a new cable connected and fed to a pre-made hole for the central pendant light. I would be filling/plastering/painting the leftover holes myself. There is no access from floor above. The main circuit board is very close too. Many thanks
