Local office lighting in St Andrews
Reception areas in St Andrews often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Many St Andrews office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Our teams travel to St Andrews from across Fife. Typical nearby jobs include Tayport, Cupar and Anstruther, so we can often combine survey visits.
