LED lighting upgrades in Barnes
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. An LED upgrade in Barnes is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Barnes
For an LED upgrade in Barnes 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 Barnes 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.
Barnes is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts SW13, SW14 and W4. We regularly work across Greater London, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Barnes FAQs
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.
Do you cover all of Barnes?
Yes. We work across Barnes and the SW13, SW14 and W4 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Chiswick, Roehampton and Putney.
Who does the work in Barnes?
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.
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.
