Office lighting in Wigan
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Wigan we design to about 500 lux on desks, as BS EN 12464-1 suggests, and keep glare off screens by choosing the right optics rather than simply adding more light.
Local office lighting in Wigan
Reception areas in Wigan often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
If your Wigan office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Our teams travel to Wigan from across Greater Manchester. Typical nearby jobs include Hindley, Ashton in Makerfield and Westhoughton, 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.
Wigan FAQs
Do you cover all of Wigan?
Yes. We work across Wigan and the WN1, WN3 and WN5 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Hindley, Ashton in Makerfield and Westhoughton.
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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Wigan?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
