About this service
Lighting maintenance keeps general, feature and emergency lighting operating consistently. It includes fault diagnosis, lamp and driver replacement, control adjustment, cleaning where appropriate and identifying fittings that are no longer economical to repair.
Repeated isolated replacement can create mixed colour, output and product types. A maintenance record helps decide when a planned upgrade is better than continued reactive work.
Common problems we help with
Intermittent or flickering fittings
Driver, lamp, connection, control or supply issues need separation.
Several products have been mixed
Colour and brightness vary after years of ad hoc replacement.
Sensors operate poorly
Detection, time delay and daylight settings may not suit current use.
Access is difficult
High ceilings, atria and occupied public spaces require planned equipment and timing.
How we carry out the work
Record failed types and locations
We identify common components, access needs and patterns rather than treating every fitting as unrelated.
Repair or recommend replacement
Compatible parts are fitted where sensible; obsolete or repeatedly failing equipment is flagged.
Test controls and circuits
Operation, sensor settings and affected electrical work are verified before closing the visit.
What is normally included?
- Initial discussion about the property, symptoms, priorities and timescale
- Assessment of the relevant circuit, equipment, access and existing protection
- A written scope for the proposed lighting maintenance work
- The agreed installation or repair work, with disruption kept to a reasonable minimum
- Inspection, electrical testing and appropriate handover documentation
Before the work starts
- The task, atmosphere and useful light level required in each zone
- Colour temperature, glare, dimming and compatibility between fittings and controls
- Maintenance access and replacement availability
- Outdoor exposure, emergency duration or security coverage where relevant
What affects the price?
The price depends on the existing installation and the amount of work required. For lighting maintenance, the main factors normally include:
- Fitting quantity and specification
- New switching, control or circuit requirements
- Working height and access equipment
- Making good, containment and removal of obsolete fittings
Testing, certificates and handover
Once the installation work is complete, we inspect and test it and provide the records that apply to the job.
- Demonstration of dimming, sensors or programmed controls
- Circuit testing and applicable certification
- Luminaire and driver information
- Maintenance and replacement guidance
Lighting Maintenance questions
Can integrated LED fittings be repaired?
Some allow driver or module replacement. Others require complete fitting replacement depending on parts and design.
Why do new lamps look different?
Colour temperature, colour rendering, output and ageing of adjacent lamps all affect appearance.
Can maintenance be completed while occupied?
Often, with suitable segregation and timing. High-level or disruptive work may need quieter periods.
