Offices in Arniston range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
We usually phase office work in Arniston over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
For Arniston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
