In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Mitcham 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.

Where ceilings in Mitcham offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.

Rules that apply in Mitcham
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.
Mitcham FAQs
Do you cover all of Mitcham?
Yes. We work across Mitcham and the CR4, SM4 and SW17 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Morden, Tooting and Furzedown.
Can you work out of hours in Mitcham?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Mitcham offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Who does the work in Mitcham?
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.
