Car park lighting in Northwich
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Northwich need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Northwich
Many car parks around Northwich 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.
For Northwich retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Our teams travel to Northwich from across Cheshire. Typical nearby jobs include Weaverham, Winsford and Middlewich, so we can often combine survey visits.

Northwich FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Northwich?
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 Northwich?
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.
Do you cover all of Northwich?
Yes. We work across Northwich and the CW9 and CW8 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Weaverham, Winsford and Middlewich.

Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
