In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Somerton over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Somerton
If your Somerton office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Offices in Somerton range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
Our teams travel to Somerton from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Street, Glastonbury and Langport, 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.
Somerton FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Somerton?
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.
Can you work out of hours in Somerton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Somerton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you cover all of Somerton?
Yes. We work across Somerton and the TA11 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Street, Glastonbury and Langport.
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.
