If your Stretford office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
We usually phase office work in Stretford over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
For Stretford premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
