LED lighting upgrades in Didcot
What we do in Didcot: 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 Didcot now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.

Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Didcot bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
We quote Didcot 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.
We cover the whole of Didcot, including the OX11 and OX14 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Abingdon, Wallingford and Marcham.
