Office lighting in Gosforth
In short: glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. For office lighting in Gosforth 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 Gosforth
Reception areas in Gosforth often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Offices in Gosforth 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 Gosforth from across Tyne and Wear. Typical nearby jobs include Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne and Longbenton, so we can often combine survey visits.

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.
Gosforth FAQs
Do you cover all of Gosforth?
Yes. We work across Gosforth and the NE3, NE2 and NE7 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne and Longbenton.
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 Gosforth?
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.
