Typical Christmas light installation costs in London
Wortley Village character homes and sprawling north-end subdivisions give London a mix of intricate and straightforward rooflines — with a smaller installer market than the GTA.
| Project | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bungalow roofline (LED, ~100 ft) | $500–$900 | Single-storey front, straightforward eaves |
| Two-storey roofline (LED, ~200 ft) | $1,200–$2,200 | The most common full-service package |
| Full design (roofline + trees + accents) | $1,800–$3,500 | Wreaths, garland, and wrapped trees included |
| Tree wrapping (per tree) | $200–$600 | Trunk-to-crown mini lights; priced separately |
| January takedown | $150–$400 | Often bundled in full-service packages |
What moves the price in London
- Roofline footage — installers price per linear foot, so measuring roughly first keeps quotes honest.
- Home height — two- and three-storey work adds 25–50% per foot in ladder time and safety setup.
- Light type — commercial LEDs ($5–$9/ft) vs incandescent ($3–$6/ft).
- Trees and accents — usually quoted separately from the roofline.
- Timing — Booking by late october. fewer crews means the calendar fills without warning.
Local notes for London homeowners
- Byron and Oakridge's large lots mean long rooflines and easy access.
- Old South and Wortley Village homes have peaks and dormers that reward experienced crews.
- Fewer installers than the GTA — the good ones book out fast despite the smaller market.

Christmas Light Installation Cost in London: FAQ
How much does professional Christmas light installation cost in London?
Most London installs land between $800 and $3,500 (Ontario installer Nord, September 2026), with LED rooflines at roughly $5–$9 per linear foot installed. A modest bungalow front runs $500–$900; a full two-storey design runs $1,200–$2,800. London pricing is mid-range; the smaller crew pool means less price competition than the GTA.
Do London installers provide the lights?
Most full-service installers include commercial-grade LED lights in the per-foot price — plus installation, in-season maintenance, January takedown, and storage. Labour-only installs with your own lights run 30–40%% cheaper, but the installer won't warranty customer-supplied product.
When should I book Christmas light installation in London?
Book by late October. Fewer crews means the calendar fills without warning. Waiting until December usually means premium rates or no availability at all.
LED vs incandescent — what do installers recommend?
Commercial LEDs, overwhelmingly. They use ~90%% less electricity, run cool, and last tens of thousands of hours versus ~1,000 for incandescents. Installed cost is higher ($5–$9/ft vs $3–$6/ft), but energy savings and near-zero mid-season failures make LEDs the pro standard across Ontario.
How do I pick a Christmas light installer in London?
Get 2–3 written quotes and ask each: are commercial-grade lights included, is takedown and storage included, what happens on mid-season failures, and is the crew insured (liability + WSIB). Anyone quoting without asking about your roofline footage is guessing. Use the quote form below and we'll connect you with qualified local pros.
