Car park lighting in Chessington
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Chessington and Greater London. New columns in Chessington need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.

Local car park lighting in Chessington
Many car parks around Chessington 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 Chessington around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Our teams travel to Chessington from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Hook, Surbiton and Ewell, so we can often combine survey visits.

Chessington FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Chessington?
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 Chessington?
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.
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.
