Electrical & Lighting for Fit Outs in Edinburgh & The Lothians
Electrical and lighting decisions can make or break a commercial space. The right setup improves how the space functions, supports productivity, and creates a more professional feel — while keeping everything safe and compliant.
At Fit Out Edinburgh, we deliver commercial electrical and lighting works as part of office fit outs, refurbishments and interior upgrades across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Whether you need a full rewire as part of a refurbishment or simply want better lighting and power placement, we’ll plan it around how the space is actually used.
What we can help with
Electrical and lighting requirements vary by space, but this service commonly includes:
Lighting upgrades
- New ceiling lighting layouts (better coverage, fewer dark spots)
- Feature lighting for reception and client-facing areas
- Task lighting for desks and work zones
- Meeting room lighting improvements (cleaner, more professional feel)
- Emergency lighting provision (where required)
Power and data points
- Adding or relocating sockets to match desk layouts and rooms
- Power planning for meeting rooms, screens and equipment
- Practical placement for tea points / kitchens (where included in the scope)
- “Future-proofing” power locations for growth and layout changes
Fit out electrical works
- Strip-out of redundant fittings and making safe
- New circuits and upgrades to support the new layout
- Coordination with ceilings, partitions and finishes so everything aligns neatly

- corridors and circulation areas
- breakout areas and kitchens/tea points
The goal is a space that feels brighter, more modern, and easier to work in.
