LED lighting upgrades in Liverpool
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Liverpool 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.

An LED upgrade in Liverpool is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
Where ceilings in Liverpool offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Liverpool is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts L3, L69 and L70. We regularly work across Merseyside, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Liverpool
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.
Liverpool 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.
How quickly can you survey in Liverpool?
Most surveys in Liverpool 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 Liverpool?
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.
