LED lighting upgrades in Brentwood
What we do in Brentwood: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Brentwood bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Brentwood
For an LED upgrade in Brentwood 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.
Most Brentwood businesses we survey still have a mix of T8 battens, 600×600 fluorescent panels and the odd halogen downlight. Replacing them with complete LED luminaires usually cuts lighting energy by a third to a half.
Brentwood is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts CM14, CM13 and CM15. We regularly work across Essex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

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.

Brentwood FAQs
Do you cover all of Brentwood?
Yes. We work across Brentwood and the CM14, CM13 and CM15 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Billericay, Ingatestone and Hornchurch.
How quickly can you survey in Brentwood?
Most surveys in Brentwood can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you remove the old fittings in Brentwood?
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.
