Ceiling Fan Installation Without Losing Heritage Charm

At Ferguson Electrical, we love helping homeowners upgrade their living spaces—especially when it involves blending modern comfort with timeless character. One of our recent projects was a perfect example: replacing an old pendant light with a sleek, energy-efficient ceiling fan in a room with a decorative plaster ceiling rose.

🏡 The Home

The client’s home featured charming period-style details, including ornate cornices, timber accents, and a beautifully crafted ceiling rose that framed the original pendant light. While the aesthetic was stunning, the room needed better airflow—especially in the warmer months. The solution? A ceiling fan that offered functionality without compromising style.

💡 Our Approach

Installing a ceiling fan in a home with heritage features requires precision and care. Here’s how we made it work:

• Preserved the Ceiling Rose: We carefully removed the existing pendant and prepared the mount for the new fan without damaging the plasterwork.
• Selected a Sleek Modern Fan: The client chose a black fan with a built-in LED light, offering both cooling and improved lighting in one.
• Ensured a Clean Finish: The final result was a tidy, secure installation that enhanced the room’s comfort while still highlighting the decorative ceiling rose.

⚡ Why This Matters

Older homes often come with beautiful features—but also limitations when it comes to ventilation and lighting. Our team specialises in updating these homes with care, respecting their character while adding practical upgrades.

Whether it’s installing fans, lighting, or running new cabling through tricky areas, we make sure every job is safe, neat, and tailored to the space.
