Car park lighting in Dover
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. We programme car park works in Dover around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Dover
New columns in Dover need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Dover retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Our teams travel to Dover from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Whitfield, Folkestone and Hawkinge, so we can often combine survey visits.

Dover FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Dover?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Dover offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Dover?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
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.
