Car park lighting in Birmingham
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. New columns in Birmingham need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Birmingham
We programme car park works in Birmingham around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Birmingham retail and business parks, part-night dimming keeps the car park safe while cutting overnight energy use.
Birmingham is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts B3, B2 and B4. We regularly work across the West Midlands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Birmingham FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Birmingham?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Birmingham?
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 Birmingham?
Yes. We work across Birmingham and the B3, B2 and B4 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Aston, Smethwick and Washwood Heath.
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.
