Car park lighting in Folkestone
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Folkestone and Kent. New columns in Folkestone need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Folkestone
For Folkestone retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Many car parks around Folkestone 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.
Folkestone sits within Kent. We work throughout the CT20, CT19 and CT18 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Hawkinge, Hythe and Dover.

Folkestone 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 Folkestone?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Folkestone?
Most surveys in Folkestone 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.
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.
