Car park lighting work in Kent
We programme car park works in Kent around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
New columns in Kent need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
What's included
- Bollards for footpaths
- Structural and condition checks on old columns
- New columns with foundations, ducts and cabling

Car park lighting FAQs for Kent
Which fire safety law applies in Kent?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
How are prices set in Kent?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What do new lighting columns cost?
As a budget, a 6 m column with an LED lantern, foundation and a moderate cable run is around £800–£1,500 each, excluding VAT. Difficult ground, reinstatement or a new supply can increase this.
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.
