LED lighting upgrades in Failsworth
What we do in Failsworth: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Failsworth now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

Failsworth FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Failsworth?
Most surveys in Failsworth 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.
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 Failsworth?
Yes. We work across Failsworth and the M35, M40 and M43 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Droylsden, Chadderton and Ashton-under-Lyne.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
