Car park lighting in Sevenoaks
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Sevenoaks car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Sevenoaks
Many car parks around Sevenoaks 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.
New columns in Sevenoaks need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
We cover the whole of Sevenoaks, including the TN13, TN14 and TN15 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Dunton Green, Wrotham and Tonbridge.

Sevenoaks FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Sevenoaks?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
Who does the work in Sevenoaks?
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.
