Commercial lighting design in Surrey
Commercial lighting design means calculating and specifying luminaires, positions and controls so a space gets the right light for its tasks, meets standards such as BS EN 12464-1 and energy rules such as Part L, and is comfortable to work in. We cover Surrey, including Woking, Guildford and Esher.

For Surrey projects with new layouts or tall spaces we model the lighting first, so the fittings ordered actually hit the target lux.
A calculated design gives Surrey building control or landlords the efficacy evidence they ask for.
What's included

Commercial lighting design FAQs for Surrey
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Surrey?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Surrey must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
How are prices set in Surrey?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Do I need a lighting design for an LED upgrade?
For a like-for-like swap in a simple office, a survey is often enough. For new layouts, warehouses, sports areas or where light levels are disputed, a calculated design avoids getting it wrong.
Can you design and install?
Yes. Most clients ask us to design and install so one team is responsible for the result.
