Car park lighting in Orpington
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Orpington and Greater London. New columns in Orpington need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Orpington
Many car parks around Orpington 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 Orpington around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Orpington premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

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.
How quickly can you survey in Orpington?
Most surveys in Orpington 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.

Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
