FAQs
Security Lighting in Maidstone: FAQs
Do you provide security lighting across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14, ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
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.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
