Car park lighting in Dorking
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Dorking need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Dorking
Footpaths from Dorking car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We programme car park works in Dorking around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Our teams travel to Dorking from across Surrey. Typical nearby jobs include Brockham, Capel and Leatherhead, so we can often combine survey visits.

Dorking FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Dorking?
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.
Do you cover all of Dorking?
Yes. We work across Dorking and the RH4, RH3 and RH5 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Brockham, Capel and Leatherhead.
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 reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
