Car park lighting in Chatham
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Chatham 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.
Local car park lighting in Chatham
Footpaths from Chatham car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
New columns in Chatham need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Chatham premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
