Local LED lighting upgrades in Ivybridge
For an LED upgrade in Ivybridge 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 Ivybridge is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Ivybridge is a local centre, covered by postcode district PL21. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Ivybridge FAQs
Who does the work in Ivybridge?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Ivybridge?
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 Ivybridge?
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.
