Hello everyone, I have a question regarding moving a chandelier after it has been mounted. The chandelier in question is quite large, measuring 4 meters in length and weighing approximately 25 kilograms. Unfortunately, I'm not satisfied with its current position and would like to shift it about a foot or two from its current location. The chandelier is mounted on the ceiling above a void, so I assume that to remove it, it would require some sort of scaffolding or special equipment. My main concern is how challenging this task might be after the house has already been constructed. Any insights, advice, or tips on how to go about relocating such a hefty chandelier would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
You're right; dealing with a large chandelier above a void does require some careful planning. I'd suggest considering professional help for this job, given its size and weight.
Moving a hefty chandelier can definitely be a task, especially once it's already up there! Given its size and weight, shifting it even a bit might need some careful planning. You're right about needing scaffolding or specialized equipment for such a job.
One thing that might help is consulting a professional electrician or a contractor experienced with these sorts of installations. They might have inventive solutions or tools to handle the move without causing damage or risking safety.
