Car park lighting in Braintree
What we do in Braintree: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Braintree car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.

Braintree FAQs
Who does the work in Braintree?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
How quickly can you survey in Braintree?
Most surveys in Braintree 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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Braintree?
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.
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.
