Car park lighting in York
What we do in York: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from York car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.

For York retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.

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