Local LED lighting upgrades in Mountsorrel
Where ceilings in Mountsorrel offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
In Mountsorrel warehouses and workshops the biggest savings come from swapping metal halide high bays for LED, where a 400 W lamp plus gear can often be replaced by a fitting drawing 150 W or less.
Mountsorrel is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts LE4 and LE12. We regularly work across Leicestershire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Mountsorrel
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.
Mountsorrel FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Mountsorrel?
Most surveys in Mountsorrel 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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Mountsorrel?
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 cover all of Mountsorrel?
Yes. We work across Mountsorrel and the LE4 and LE12 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Loughborough, Barkby and Groby.
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.
