Car park lighting in Hertford
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Hertford and Hertfordshire. New columns in Hertford need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Hertford
Many car parks around Hertford 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 Hertford sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Hertford sits within Hertfordshire. We work throughout the SG13, SG14 and SG12 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Ware, Hoddesdon and Welwyn Garden City.

Hertford FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Hertford?
Most surveys in Hertford 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 Hertford?
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 reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
