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

We programme car park works in Smethwick around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
New columns in Smethwick need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.

Smethwick FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Smethwick?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Smethwick?
Yes. We work across Smethwick and the B66, B67 and B21 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as West Bromwich, Birmingham and Aston.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Smethwick?
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.
