LED lighting upgrades in Merriott
Swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Available across Merriott and Somerset. Where ceilings in Merriott 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 Merriott bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
We quote Merriott 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.
Merriott is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts TA16, TA18 and TA17. We regularly work across Somerset, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Merriott
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.
Merriott FAQs
Who does the work in Merriott?
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.
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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Merriott?
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.
