Longton FAQs
Do you cover all of Longton?
Yes. We work across Longton and the ST3, ST4 and ST12 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Stoke-on-Trent, Barlaston and Forsbrook.
Who does the work in Longton?
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 Longton?
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.
