In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. We usually phase office work in Felixstowe over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Local office lighting in Felixstowe
Offices in Felixstowe range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
If your Felixstowe office has window bays, daylight sensors can dim the perimeter row of fittings on bright days without anyone noticing.
Our teams travel to Felixstowe from across Suffolk. Typical nearby jobs include Harwich, Levington and Kesgrave, so we can often combine survey visits.

Felixstowe FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Felixstowe?
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.
Who does the work in Felixstowe?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
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.
