Do you provide security lighting across all of Guildford?

Where's the best place to fit security lighting?
Typically above main entrances, side passages and driveways, covering approach routes and blind spots while avoiding pointing directly at neighbouring properties. We assess the best positions on site.
Can security lights be added to an existing outdoor circuit?
Often yes, if the existing circuit has capacity. Where it doesn't, a new circuit may be needed, which we confirm during assessment.
Are there conservation areas across Guildford?
Yes, several, including the historic town centre and parts of some residential neighbourhoods. We check the position for your specific address as part of the feasibility assessment.
