Office lighting in Tooting
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Tooting over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Tooting
Many Tooting office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
If your Tooting office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Our teams travel to Tooting from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Furzedown, Streatham and Mitcham, so we can often combine survey visits.

Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.

Privately rented commercial property in England generally needs an EPC of E or better, or a registered exemption, and lighting is one of the cheaper ways to improve a rating.
Tooting FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Tooting?
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.
Do you cover all of Tooting?
Yes. We work across Tooting and the SW17, CR4 and SW12 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Furzedown, Streatham and Mitcham.
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.
Panels or linear pendants?
Recessed 600×600 panels suit suspended grid ceilings and are the simplest swap. Linear suspended fittings suit exposed soffits and can light both the desk and the ceiling, which makes a space feel brighter.
