Car park lighting in Manchester
What we do in Manchester: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Manchester car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.

Local car park lighting in Manchester
Older columns in Manchester sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
We programme car park works in Manchester around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Manchester is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts M2, M1 and M4. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Manchester FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Manchester?
Most surveys in Manchester 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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Manchester?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Who does the work in Manchester?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
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.
