LED lighting upgrades in Saint Peters
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Saint Peters and Kent. Where ceilings in Saint Peters offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Saint Peters
For an LED upgrade in Saint Peters 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.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Saint Peters bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Saint Peters is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts CT10, CT9 and CT11. We regularly work across Kent, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Saint Peters
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.
Saint Peters 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 remove the old fittings in Saint Peters?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Saint Peters?
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.
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.
