Local LED lighting upgrades in Staines
Most Staines businesses we survey still have a mix of T8 battens, 600×600 fluorescent panels and the odd halogen downlight. Replacing them with complete LED luminaires usually cuts lighting energy by a third to a half.
Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Staines now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Staines is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts TW18, TW19 and TW20. We regularly work across Surrey, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Rules that apply in Staines
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.
Staines FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Staines?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Staines?
Yes. We work across Staines and the TW18, TW19 and TW20 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Egham, Ashford and Chertsey.
Do you remove the old fittings in Staines?
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.
