Local office lighting in Croft
Reception areas in Croft often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
If your Croft office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Croft is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts WA3, WA2 and WN7. We regularly work across Cheshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Croft FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Croft?
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.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Croft?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work outside office hours?
Yes. Most office projects are done in the evening or at weekends, a zone at a time, so staff come back to a working floor.
