Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Croydon?
Most surveys in Croydon 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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Croydon?
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 much can LED high bays save?
Replacing metal halide with LED often cuts lighting load by around 50–70%. One common example is a 400 W lamp drawing about 430 W with its gear, replaced by a 150 W LED fitting.
