Car park lighting in Welling
What we do in Welling: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Welling car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Welling
Many car parks around Welling 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.
Older columns in Welling sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
We cover the whole of Welling, including the DA16, DA6 and DA15 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Abbey Wood, Plumstead and Bexley.

Welling FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Welling?
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 work out of hours in Welling?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Welling 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.
