LED lighting upgrades in Stone
In short: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. For an LED upgrade in Stone 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.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Stone
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Stone now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Stone bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Stone is a local centre, covered by postcode districts ST15 and ST12. We regularly work across Staffordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Stone
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.
Stone FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Stone?
Most surveys in Stone 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.
Who does the work in Stone?
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 cover all of Stone?
Yes. We work across Stone and the ST15 and ST12 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Barlaston, Eccleshall and Forsbrook.
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.
