Office lighting in Wiltshire
Office lighting is the design and installation of luminaires that light desks, meeting rooms, circulation areas and receptions to the right level without glare. We cover Wiltshire, including Swindon, Salisbury and Trowbridge.
Office lighting work in Wiltshire
We usually phase office work in Wiltshire over evenings, one zone at a time, so nobody loses a desk while the ceiling is opened up.
Offices in Wiltshire range from older suspended-ceiling floors with 600×600 fluorescent panels to newer exposed-soffit spaces where suspended linear LED looks and works better.
What's included
- Emergency lighting checked and integrated with the new layout
- Presence detection in meeting rooms, toilets and stores
- Layouts that hit around 500 lux on desks with low glare on screens
- Out-of-hours installation so desks stay usable during the working day

Rules that apply in Wiltshire
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.

Office lighting FAQs for Wiltshire
Which towns in Wiltshire do you cover?
All of Wiltshire, including Swindon, Salisbury and Trowbridge. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Which fire safety law applies in Wiltshire?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
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.
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.
