Local LED lighting upgrades in Earlston
Where ceilings in Earlston offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.
We quote Earlston 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.
Earlston is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts TD4 and TD6. We regularly work across the Scottish Borders, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Earlston FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Earlston?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Earlston offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Who does the work in Earlston?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Earlston?
Most surveys in Earlston 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.
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.
