LED lighting upgrades in Torquay
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Torquay and Devon. Where ceilings in Torquay offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Torquay
For an LED upgrade in Torquay 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Torquay bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
For Torquay premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Rules that apply in Torquay
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
In Great Britain, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Torquay FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Torquay?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Torquay offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Torquay?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
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.
