We survey the space, fit the luminaires and controls, and leave you with working lights and a certificate when the work needs one. ## Commercial lighting installation price Commercial lighting installation starts from £65 per fitting. That buys fitting one commercial luminaire with basic switching in a typical shop or office around Colchester, once the fitting is on site for the job. - Commercial lighting installation (per fitting): from £65 - The starting price is per fitting, not a price for a whole room or building. - High level warehouse fittings, dimming, new circuits and emergency lighting are priced after we see the ceiling and the existing wiring. - Work booked outside opening hours follows the emergency electrician rate from £90/hr. ## Commercial lighting for shops and offices Owners, managers and landlords book this work when a shop, office, warehouse or workshop in Colchester or nearby Essex needs new lights, LED replacements or extra fittings on the same circuits. - **Shops and high street units:** Retail units in Colchester, Witham and Maldon often need brighter sales floors, stock rooms and window displays. We replace old fluorescent battens with LED fittings and add switching that staff can use without a ladder. - **Offices and small workplaces:** Offices in Stanway, Marks Tey and Coggeshall book extra panels, sensor switching and replacement of failed fittings so desks, meeting rooms and corridors stay usable through the working day. - **Warehouses and workshops:** Warehouses around Tiptree, Kelvedon and Brightlingsea need high level fittings that survive dust, height and long hours. We plan access, isolation and circuit loading before any luminaire comes down. - **Landlords with commercial lets:** Landlords in Wivenhoe, West Mersea and Rowhedge book lighting when a tenant moves in, a unit sits empty, or an inspection flags dark stairs, toilets or plant rooms. ## What the installation covers Check this list against the room and the fittings you already have. ### Included when agreed - A survey of the room, the ceiling and the existing lighting circuits - Fitting commercial luminaires and basic switches or sensors - Testing the new lights on the circuit they serve - A minor works certificate from £95 when the job needs one - Clearing packing and leaving the floor ready for staff ### Not included automatically - Architectural lighting design and decorative feature schemes - Buying fittings you have not yet ordered - Full fire alarm or emergency lighting system design ## What happens on the day We attend in opening hours unless you have booked an out of hours slot. Calls are answered any time. 1. **Arrival and isolation:** We meet you or the keyholder, walk the rooms, isolate the circuits we will work on, and confirm fitting positions against the written price. 2. **Fitting and controls:** We mount the luminaires, terminate the cables, and set switches, dimmers or occupancy sensors so staff can run the lights without climbing. 3. **Test and certificate:** We energise the circuit, check each fitting, and issue a minor works certificate from £95 when the work needs one. Emergency lighting tests and certificates start from £150 if that is booked as well. ## What you get after commercial lighting You are left with working lights in the rooms we were booked for, controls staff can use, and paperwork that matches the work done. - **Installed fittings and controls:** The luminaires sit on the ceiling or wall, the switches and sensors work, and the circuit is live so the shop, office or warehouse can open. - **How bright the room ends up:** We do not quote a brightness figure we have not measured on site. Workplace lighting levels sit in HSG38, and any number we give you comes from a meter reading in that room. ## Commercial lighting installation questions These are the questions shop and office owners around Colchester ask before they book lighting work. ### How much does commercial lighting installation cost? Commercial lighting installation starts from £65 per fitting. A whole room or a high warehouse bay is priced after we count the fittings and see the ceiling height. ### Can you work while the shop is open? Yes, when isolation can be limited to one area at a time. Evening and weekend slots follow the emergency electrician rate from £90/hr. ### Do you fit LED panels and battens? Yes. We fit LED panels, battens, downlights and high bay fittings on existing circuits, and we add a new circuit when the load needs it. ### Will I get a certificate? A minor works certificate starts from £95 when the job needs one. Emergency lighting test and certificate work starts from £150. ### Do you cover Witham, Maldon and the coast? Yes.
