Car park lighting in Harwich
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Harwich and Essex. New columns in Harwich need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Harwich
Footpaths from Harwich car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We programme car park works in Harwich around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Harwich premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Harwich FAQs
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 remove the old fittings in Harwich?
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 Harwich?
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.
