Office lighting in Sheffield
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Many Sheffield office landlords upgrade lighting between tenancies, because LED with presence sensing helps the EPC and leaves the next occupier with lower running costs.
Local office lighting in Sheffield
We usually phase office work in Sheffield over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Reception areas in Sheffield often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Sheffield is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts S1, S3 and S2. We regularly work across South Yorkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
