Car park lighting in Stanley
What we do in Stanley: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Stanley car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Stanley
Many car parks around Stanley 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 Stanley retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We cover the whole of Stanley, including the DH9 and DH2 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Chester-le-Street, Consett and Whickham.

Stanley FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Stanley?
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.
Do you cover all of Stanley?
Yes. We work across Stanley and the DH9 and DH2 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Chester-le-Street, Consett and Whickham.
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.
