LED lighting upgrades in Swindon
What we do in Swindon: swap fluorescent, halogen and metal halide fittings for efficient LED. Old tubes are hazardous waste. Our teams working in Swindon bag and recycle them through an authorised route and give you the paperwork.
Local LED lighting upgrades in Swindon
We quote Swindon 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.
An LED upgrade in Swindon is also the cheapest moment to add presence or daylight sensors, because the electrician is already working on every fitting.
For Swindon premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Swindon FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Swindon?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Swindon offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Swindon?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Swindon?
Most surveys in Swindon 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.
Can the upgrade be claimed against tax?
Many businesses can claim capital allowances on lighting, for example through the Annual Investment Allowance. Lighting in a building is usually treated as an integral feature, so ask your accountant how it applies to you.
