LED lighting upgrades in Oxford
What we do in Oxford: 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 Oxford now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Oxford
For an LED upgrade in Oxford 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.
Where ceilings in Oxford offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
We cover the whole of Oxford, including the OX1, OX2 and OX3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Cowley, Holton and Kidlington.

Do you remove the old fittings in Oxford?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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 Oxford?
Most surveys in Oxford 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.
How long does an office LED upgrade take?
A typical 400 m² office with around 40 fittings is often a one- or two-day job. Larger sites are phased zone by zone, and we can work evenings or weekends.
