LED lighting upgrade for offices in Whiteley
Whiteley PO15 offices from the 1990s and 2000s still run T8 tubes in suspended ceilings. The LED upgrade swaps those fittings and leaves the ceiling grid in place.
“I have worked on commercial premises across Eastleigh and Southampton since 2009. I quote the job, do the work and sign it off myself, so you always deal with the person who knows your building.”
How much does an office LED lighting upgrade cost in Whiteley?
Office LED lighting starts from £480, which buys a small office or meeting room where a modest run of T8 fittings is swapped in the existing suspended ceiling.
- Larger Solent Business Park floors are quoted in writing after the fitting count.
- Work around Whiteley Shopping opening hours can add time, which is listed on the written price.
- Fixed wire testing is priced on the number of boards and circuits, not by the hour.
- Emergency lighting is priced per light, and the three hour test is priced separately.
- Repairs are priced item by item off the report, so you choose what to do and when.
- Work outside your trading hours costs a different rate, and I tell you what it is before I set off.
- Quotes are free, rescheduling is free, and there is no callout fee.
LED lighting upgrade for offices in Whiteley
- Office LED lighting in Whiteley starts from £480 for a small office or meeting room of T8 fittings in a suspended ceiling.
- 1990s and 2000s offices still run tubes that flicker and hum. The LED swap uses the existing ceiling grid.
- Retail hours mean the work is planned around opening, not during trade.
- Meeting rooms and open plan floors are counted fitting by fitting before the written price.
Whiteley offices and what they mean for LED lighting
- PO15 1990s and 2000s suspended ceilings are the stock. The upgrade is a fitting swap in that grid, not a new ceiling.
- T8 battens in a standard grid. LED panels or battens go back into the same openings.
- Work is timed around shop opening so the mall side stays lit for trade.
- Smaller suites where a modest run of fittings matches the £480 starting point.
What happens on the day
The visit counts T8 fittings, isolates the lighting circuit, swaps the fittings in the grid, then tests and certifies.
- 01
Fitting count first
T8 tubes in the suspended ceiling are counted. The written price follows that count.
- 02
Swap in the grid
The supply is isolated. Old fittings come out. LED panels or battens go back into the same grid.

Work that often sits with office lighting
PAT testing starts from £95 if you want the plug in kit tested while the lighting circuit is isolated, and fixed wire testing is booked separately for the building.
T8 grids left in place
David McInnes counts Whiteley T8 fittings before any panel comes out of the PO15 grid. The £480 figure follows that count, and the suspended ceiling stays.
