Light fitting swap

We want a ceiling light swapped with the current one. I had a look myself and there are a lot of wires attached to the current light fixture. How much would this cost ?

"Hi hope you are doing well. I would say the average is £40 provided the distance is less than 10 miles, and the lighting is not heavy. Cheers"

"A local electrician would normally charge £40 to £50 to replace the fitting dependant on time and travel"

"£30 because it's a simple job for a qualified electrician.

In most cases, the reason that a ceiling rose may have a lot of wires in it simply because its middle terminals are used to distribute electricity around the rest of the lighting in the house."
