Office lighting in Salcombe
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Salcombe over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Salcombe
Meeting rooms are where Salcombe offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
Many Salcombe office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Salcombe is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts TQ8 and TQ7. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Salcombe FAQs

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.
