LED lighting upgrades in Waverton
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Waverton we start by counting fittings and running hours, because payback depends far more on how long lights are on than on the price of the fittings.

An LED upgrade in Waverton is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Waverton now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
For Waverton premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Waverton FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Waverton?
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 Waverton?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
