LED lighting upgrades in Andover
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Most Andover 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Andover
We quote Andover LED upgrades as a fixed price with a fitting schedule, so you can see exactly what is being replaced, where, and what it should save.
Where ceilings in Andover offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
For Andover premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Andover FAQs
Do you cover all of Andover?
Yes. We work across Andover and the SP10 and SP11 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Longstock, Whitchurch and South Tidworth.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Andover?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
