Car park lighting in Knutsford
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Knutsford need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Knutsford
Many car parks around Knutsford still use sodium lanterns on columns that are structurally fine. Swapping just the heads for LED gives whiter, more even light for much less power.
We programme car park works in Knutsford around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Our teams travel to Knutsford from across Cheshire. Typical nearby jobs include Ringway, Altrincham and Wilmslow, so we can often combine survey visits.

Knutsford FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Knutsford?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Knutsford?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
