Car park lighting in Greenwich
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. For Greenwich retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Local car park lighting in Greenwich
Footpaths from Greenwich car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Greenwich 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.
Our teams travel to Greenwich from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include New Cross, Blackheath and Brockley, so we can often combine survey visits.

Greenwich FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Greenwich?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Greenwich?
Most surveys in Greenwich 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.
Can you work out of hours in Greenwich?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Greenwich offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

As a budget, a 6 m column with an LED lantern, foundation and a moderate cable run is around £800–£1,500 each, excluding VAT. Difficult ground, reinstatement or a new supply can increase this.
