LED lighting upgrades in Leatherhead
What we do in Leatherhead: 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 Leatherhead now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Leatherhead
For an LED upgrade in Leatherhead 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.
In Leatherhead warehouses and workshops the biggest savings come from swapping metal halide high bays for LED, where a 400 W lamp plus gear can often be replaced by a fitting drawing 150 W or less.
Leatherhead is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts KT22, KT21 and KT23. We regularly work across Surrey, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Leatherhead FAQs
Who does the work in Leatherhead?
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 Leatherhead?
Most surveys in Leatherhead 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 remove the old fittings in Leatherhead?
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.
