Car park lighting work in Merseyside
Footpaths from Merseyside car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Older columns in Merseyside sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.

Car park lighting FAQs for Merseyside
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Merseyside?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Merseyside must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
How are prices set in Merseyside?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
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.
Can car park lighting be dimmed overnight?
Yes. LED lanterns can be dimmed or switched to a lower level in the small hours, often with presence override.
