LED lighting upgrades in Wallington
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Wallington 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.

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Wallington 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 Wallington now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Wallington is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts SM6, SM5 and SM1. We regularly work across Greater London, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Wallington FAQs
Who does the work in Wallington?
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 remove the old fittings in Wallington?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Wallington?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Wallington offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
