Car park lighting in Islington
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Islington and Greater London. New columns in Islington need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Islington
Many car parks around Islington 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 Islington around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Islington sits within Greater London. We work throughout the N1, EC1V and EC1R postcode districts and surrounding places, including Highbury, Holloway and Camden.

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