Car park lighting in Monmouth
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Monmouth need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Monmouth
Many car parks around Monmouth 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.
Footpaths from Monmouth car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Our teams travel to Monmouth from across Gwent. Typical nearby jobs include Coleford, Lydney and Gwehelog Fawr, so we can often combine survey visits.

Monmouth FAQs
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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Monmouth?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Monmouth?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh 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 reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
