Car park lighting in Chelmsford
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Chelmsford car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.

Local car park lighting in Chelmsford
We programme car park works in Chelmsford around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Chelmsford retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
We cover the whole of Chelmsford, including the CM1 and CM2 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Danbury, Ingatestone and Billericay.

Chelmsford FAQs
Do you cover all of Chelmsford?
Yes. We work across Chelmsford and the CM1 and CM2 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Danbury, Ingatestone and Billericay.
How quickly can you survey in Chelmsford?
Most surveys in Chelmsford 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.
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.
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.
