Car park lighting in Claughton
What we do in Claughton: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Claughton car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Claughton
New columns in Claughton need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Many car parks around Claughton 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.
Our teams travel to Claughton from across Lancashire. Typical nearby jobs include Preston, Fylde and Freckleton, so we can often combine survey visits.

Claughton FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Claughton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Claughton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Who does the work in Claughton?
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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Claughton?
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.
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.
