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

Constant hum in ground floor apartment
Hello, We live in a ground floor apartment. When our upstairs neighbour is in (they usually live abroad), a loud hum is audible in all areas of our flat. She did have an electrician come and investigate, which he said the pressure had dropped, however it hasn’t helped. I wonder what it could be / how to go about getting it fixed quickly. Thank you!
