Car park lighting in Dartmouth
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Dartmouth need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Dartmouth
Older columns in Dartmouth sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Footpaths from Dartmouth car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Dartmouth, including the TQ6 and TQ5 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Brixham, Paignton and Totnes.

Dartmouth FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Dartmouth?
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 Dartmouth?
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 Dartmouth?
Yes. We work across Dartmouth and the TQ6 and TQ5 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Brixham, Paignton and Totnes.
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.
