Car park lighting in Margate
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Margate need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.

Footpaths from Margate car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We programme car park works in Margate around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Margate premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Margate 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 Margate?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Who does the work in Margate?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
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.
