Car park lighting in Christchurch
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Christchurch car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Christchurch
Many car parks around Christchurch 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.
New columns in Christchurch need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Christchurch sits within Dorset. We work throughout the BH6, BH23 and BH7 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Bournemouth, New Milton and Ferndown.

Christchurch FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Christchurch?
Most surveys in Christchurch can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you remove the old fittings in Christchurch?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Christchurch?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Christchurch offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
