Local LED lighting upgrades in Crewe
We quote Crewe LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Crewe now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Crewe sits within Cheshire. We work throughout the CW1, CW2 and CW5 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Nantwich, Sandbach and Middlewich.

Crewe FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you cover all of Crewe?
Yes. We work across Crewe and the CW1, CW2 and CW5 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Nantwich, Sandbach and Middlewich.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Crewe?
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.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
