Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Swanage bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Swanage now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

Swanage FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Swanage?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Swanage offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you cover all of Swanage?
Yes. We work across Swanage and the BH19 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Poole, Bournemouth and Wareham.
Do you remove the old fittings in Swanage?
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.
