Local LED lighting upgrades in Maidenhead
Where ceilings in Maidenhead offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
In Maidenhead warehouses and workshops the biggest savings come from swapping metal halide high bays for LED, where a 400 W lamp plus gear can often be replaced by a fitting drawing 150 W or less.
Maidenhead is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts SL6, SL8 and SL7. We regularly work across Berkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Maidenhead FAQs
Do you cover all of Maidenhead?
Yes. We work across Maidenhead and the SL6, SL8 and SL7 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Wooburn, Marlow and Slough.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Maidenhead?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you remove the old fittings in Maidenhead?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
