LED lighting upgrades in Duns
What we do in Duns: 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 Duns now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Duns
Where ceilings in Duns offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Duns bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Duns is a smaller town, covered by postcode district TD11. We regularly work across the Scottish Borders, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Duns FAQs
Do you cover all of Duns?
Yes. We work across Duns and the TD11 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Greenlaw, Cornhill-on-Tweed and Cockburnspath.
Who does the work in Duns?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Do you remove the old fittings in Duns?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
