Refitting of existing reused light fittings.
Installation of Luxo LED ceiling-mounted examination lights.

Project challenges
We were working in a live NHS building, so had to make sure all electrical isolations were carried out as required by OOH, while still leaving the healthcare centre operational.
The Results:
“Newton Heath Health Centre now has five modern consultation rooms to benefit both the staff and patients. The work was carried out to a very high standard, and the project came in on schedule and budget.”
