Car park lighting in Hockley
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Hockley and Essex. Older columns in Hockley sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Hockley
Many car parks around Hockley 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.
We programme car park works in Hockley around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Our teams travel to Hockley from across Essex. Typical nearby jobs include Rayleigh, Rochford and Hadleigh, so we can often combine survey visits.
