Car park lighting in Kelsale
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Kelsale and Suffolk. New columns in Kelsale need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Kelsale
Footpaths from Kelsale car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Many car parks around Kelsale 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 Kelsale from across Suffolk. Typical nearby jobs include Leiston, Aldeburgh and Halesworth, so we can often combine survey visits.

Yes. We work across Kelsale and the IP17 and IP16 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Leiston, Aldeburgh and Halesworth.
Who does the work in Kelsale?
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.
