Car park lighting in Shirley
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Shirley car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Shirley
Many car parks around Shirley 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.
Older columns in Shirley sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
We cover the whole of Shirley, including the B90, B28 and B91 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Solihull, Acocks Green and Wythall.

Shirley FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Shirley?
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.
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.
Who does the work in Shirley?
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.
