FAQs
What types of lighting upgrades do you offer in Manchester?
We provide a full range of services including LED retro-fits for fluorescent and halogen fittings, complete fixture replacements, smart lighting controls (occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting), emergency and security lighting, outdoor and car-park upgrades, and decorative feature lighting for commercial, industrial and residential properties across Greater Manchester.
How much energy and money can I save by switching to LED lighting?
LED technology typically reduces lighting electricity consumption by 50–70 % compared to fluorescent and up to 90 % compared to incandescent or halogen bulbs. For a typical small office in Manchester using 10,000 kWh per year for lighting, an LED upgrade could cut usage to around 3,500 kWh, saving roughly £1,000–£1,300 annually at current tariff rates, with payback periods often between 1 and 3 years.
Do you manage the entire upgrade process, from design to certification?
Yes. Our NICEIC-approved electricians carry out a free site survey, create a bespoke lighting design and energy-saving report, supply all fittings, install and commission the system, and dispose of old lamps in compliance with WEEE regulations. On completion you receive a full Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and emergency lighting logbook where applicable.
Will the installation disrupt my business or home routine?
We schedule work at times that suit you—out of hours, overnight or during weekends if needed. Most retro-fits use existing wiring and can be completed quickly, minimising downtime. For offices, a typical 200-fixture LED swap is often finished in one or two evenings. We isolate only the circuits we are working on and leave all areas clean, tidy and operational at the end of each shift.
Are you insured and accredited to work on commercial and industrial sites?
Absolutely. We carry £5 million public liability and £10 million employers’ liability insurance. Our electricians hold ECS cards, IPAF licences for access equipment, and are trained in BS 7671 (18th Edition) and PASMA. We are registered with NICEIC as an Approved Contractor and Domestic Installer, so all work meets current UK wiring regulations.
Can I get financial help or incentives for a lighting upgrade in Manchester?
Several options may be available. Businesses can often claim 100 % first-year tax relief via the UK’s Annual Investment Allowance or the new Full Expensing scheme. Carbon Trust Green Business grants occasionally fund up to 50 % of project costs. Greater Manchester Combined Authority also runs Low Carbon Grants for SMEs when budgets permit. We help identify and complete the paperwork for any qualifying incentives or financing packages.
