Office lighting in Washington
Glare-free LED lighting for desks, meeting rooms and receptions. Available across Washington and Tyne and Wear. Meeting rooms are where Washington offices waste most light. Presence detectors that switch off after a set time pay back quickly in rooms that sit empty for half the day.
Local office lighting in Washington
We usually phase office work in Washington over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Reception areas in Washington often need a warmer, layered look than the open-plan floor, with downlights or a feature pendant over the desk.
Washington sits within Tyne and Wear. We work throughout the NE38, NE37 and DH3 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Chester-le-Street, Castletown and Felling.

Rules that apply in Washington
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.
In Great Britain, common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by ecodesign rules from 1 September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended on 1 February 2024.
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.
Washington FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Washington?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Washington offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Washington?
Most surveys in Washington can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you remove the old fittings in Washington?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do we need sensors in an office?
They are worth it in meeting rooms, toilets, kitchens and stores, where lights are often left on. Daylight dimming along windows also saves energy in perimeter zones.
