This is the broad commercial fit-out service line, LED lighting upgrades, Cat 6 / Cat 6A structured data cabling, IP networking infrastructure, CCTV (4-channel through 32-channel), and access control. We deliver them under one contractor because every piece of low-voltage infrastructure on a commercial premises has to coexist with the mains, and splitting trades is how cabling ends up next to mains and CCTV ends up on a doomed PoE switch. Typical jobs: a retail tenant doing a 2-week shop fit-out who needs lighting, data and CCTV live before opening day; an office occupier moving floor with 80 desks of structured cabling needed in over a weekend; a landlord upgrading common parts to LED with a 4-year payback target; a warehouse operator replacing fluorescent battens with high-bay LEDs and adding CCTV to the loading bay. We design, install and certify each. Where the job spans more than one trade (e.g. lighting + CCTV + access) the project lead remains the same person from quote through to handover, single point of contact, single invoice, single defects period. The honest bit ## Why splitting fit-out trades costs you On every fit-out we take over from another contractor, we find one of three things. Cat 6 cabling running parallel to mains for more than the permitted distance, causing intermittent network drops once the lighting is energised. CCTV plugged into PoE switches that don't deliver enough power for IR illumination at night. LED retrofits that fail their first warranty claim because the driver was specified for 230V±10% but the supply at the unit drops to 218V at peak. Each is fixable. Each cost the client an extra day of trading, an extra invoice, or a warranty rejection. The shared root cause is treating mains, data and security as three separate jobs, when in reality they all share routes, voltages, and a duty-holder. The right model is a single contractor who designs the cabling routes, agrees segregation, specifies LED drivers against the actual measured supply voltage, and commissions every system together. That's what we do. How we deliver it ## Our lighting, data, networking & cctv process, step by step. 1. \1. Site & supply survey Measure voltage at incomer and end-of-line, confirm cable routes, photograph existing infrastructure, agree segregation strategy. 2. \2. Design pack Cable schedule, LED scheme with lux calculations, CCTV camera plan with FOV diagrams, access control schedule. You sign-off the design, not the guess. 3. \3. Out-of-hours install Containment, cabling and devices installed evenings or weekends. Trading floor stays clear, signage stays up. 4. \4. Commission & certify LED supply tested under load, network certified to TIA-568 with channel testing, CCTV recording verified, access control tested through every door. 5. \5. Handover & documentation As-built drawings, channel test results, warranty registrations, service contract proposal. One pack, one delivery. Why it matters ## What you actually get. ### Up to 70% LED energy saving Typical fluorescent-to-LED retrofit drops electricity bill by 60–70% with a 3–5 year payback at current electricity prices. ### Cat 6A future-proof 10Gbps-capable cabling with 25-year warranty as standard, supports the next two network refreshes without re-cabling. ### IP-rated CCTV cameras Vandal-resistant indoor domes and IP66 external bullets, sized to the conditions and the recording requirement, not the cheapest box that fits. ### Out-of-hours fit-out Most installs run evenings or weekends. We bring our own access equipment and welfare. The till keeps ringing. Technical depth ## LED specification, Cat 6 vs 6A, and CCTV chosen for the conditions LED specification is the most-misunderstood part of a commercial fit-out. The badge wattage matters less than the driver tolerance, the colour temperature (3000K for hospitality, 4000K for office, 5000K for industrial), and the L70 lifetime (the hours until output drops to 70% of new). We specify drivers with at least 230V±15% tolerance because real-world supply at end-of-feeder in older Nottingham units routinely drops below 220V. Cheap drivers fail there. Premium drivers are typically £8–£15 more per fitting and quadruple the practical lifetime. Cat 6 vs Cat 6A is a future-proofing question. Cat 6 supports 1Gbps to 100m and 10Gbps to 55m, fine for current office networks. Cat 6A supports 10Gbps to the full 100m and is now the industry default for new builds because the cost premium is around 15% on materials and zero on labour. We specify Cat 6A unless the project budget is under significant pressure, once the trunking is closed, you don't want to re-cable a floor in 4 years. CCTV needs to match the conditions. Indoor offices use vandal-resistant 4MP IP domes with low-light sensors. Loading bays need IP66 weatherproof bullet cameras with 30m IR illumination. Cash points and tills need cameras with WDR (wide dynamic range) so faces aren't lost in window backlight. We size NVR storage at 30 days of motion-triggered recording as default, and front the system with PoE+ switches sized for the full IR load, not the daytime load.
