Project management approach

Complete control, visibility and accountability for your Christmas lighting scheme

We take care of everything to deliver a turnkey festive lighting display. From the initial design through to storage and maintenance, our service takes the stress out of organising your Christmas lighting scheme. You will work with a dedicated Project Manager, focused on the delivery of your scheme. The display is delivered by our own in-house installation teams who are fully trained, accredited and highly experienced in commercial Christmas decoration, and festive lighting installations. Be that inside a shopping centre or out on your high street, we work in every environment to manage your scheme from start to finish:

• Design development
• Manufacturing and fabrication
• Infrastructure
• Installation
• Removal
• Storage & Maintenance
• Sustainability

Developing your design

At the heart of every festive lighting display is a thoughtful, expertly crafted design. We specialise in bringing your ideas into reality. With our unrivalled expertise, attention to detail and creative flair, we will create a scheme that delivers visual impact, emotional connection, and operational practicality, in line with your brief. We listen closely to what you want to achieve, taking time to understand the brief, considering how we can enhance architectural features, appeal to your target audience and demographics, your brand and identity with a real focus on sustainable design.

The process is always collaborative and you’re welcome to be involved as much, or as little as you like! Your project manager will create high-quality visual mock-ups and mood boards, helping you clearly visualise how each element will work. Our manufacturing partner will then turn the design into reality.

Infrastructure requirements

Getting your festive lighting infrastructure right is essential for delivering safe and successful festive lighting schemes. Not investing in the correct infrastructure can lead to complete display failure, power outages, health, safety and compliance risks as well as reputational damage. Our expert in-house team are highly experienced and competent in planning, managing and executing every aspect of the infrastructure required for festive lighting displays.

We provide a full festive lighting infrastructure service, including detailed site surveys to assess your electrical and mechanical infrastructure requirements. We are equipped and qualified to test and certify your existing infrastructure and if needed provide expert consultancy for any complex requirements. We can complete the statutory anchorage point testing and wind calculations for your scheme to give you complete piece of mind that your festive lighting display is safe and compliant. Is your infrastructure safe and compliant? Contact us to book an infrastructure inspection.

Professional commercial festive lighting installation

When it comes to installation, every detail is meticulously planned. We take time to understand your location with an on-site walk around to review all logistical elements. We then commission your display in our depot. The displays undergo an enhanced quality assurance check prior to installation, ensuring a flawless final product. Installation activities are carefully planned and programmed giving you full visibility. Displays are then packed in re-usable stillages ready for delivery. We invest in early planning to ensure a smooth, on time installation.

Maintenance

Ongoing statutory maintenance and testing will ensure your display is safe and compliant every year. Our full project management approach ensures seamless delivery, exceptional quality, and an incredible end product that will delight everyone at Christmas. We have a team of full-time warehouse staff and electricians, to care for and maintain the displays.

All items are tested, checked and commissioned by our in-house team upon arrival to the local depot. We will ensure the display remains in optimal condition throughout its operational period. Our in-house maintenance team will conduct regular inspections to ensure your display is looking perfect and once the scheme is removed, they will take care of refurbishing and enhancing the display back at our local warehouse.

Storage and logistics

Welcome to Santa’s grotto! Our regional depots in Bristol, Runcorn and Edinburgh are purpose designed for the safe storage and maintenance of festive lighting. We are not reliant on expensive third-party storage giving us the flexibility and access to stock at any time.

This makes maintenance efficient. We also have our own fleet of modern HGV and vans so can carefully control the delivery process from the depot to site. In our experience, one of the biggest efficiencies gains we can make is centred around mitigating damage during storage, transport, installation and removal. We have created specially designed storage systems for transporting sensitive festive lighting products. Our warehouse technology enables us to pinpoint products quickly reducing picking and packing time.

Sustainability and durability

Our festive lighting schemes are some of the best in the business, meeting a wide range of quality and sustainability standards. We use low-voltage LED lighting to ensure a safe, efficient operation. We focus on using recycled and recyclable materials in our features, contributing to a circular economy.

All products rated IP67 or higher for outdoor reliability and materials are carefully considered for both design impact and durability, to withstand UK winter conditions. To further enhance sustainability and contribute to a circular economy, we also provide ex-display products that are ready for hire.

Frequently asked questions

When it comes to installing, maintaining and project manging Christmas lighting schemes, we are one of the most experienced and competent festive lighting contractors in the business. We offer a consultative service and are happy to help answer any questions you may have about festive lighting. Here are some of the common questions we get asked around installation.

What is a pull test?

A pull test is a structural safety test conducted on mounting points to ensure they can safely support the weight and wind loading of festive lighting installations such as cross-street displays or light ceilings. These tests measure the structural integrity of the fixing under a controlled force.

How often should a pull test be conducted?

For public safety and compliance, pull tests are as a rule of thumb, generally conducted annually. The exact regularity of testing is always determined by our Engineers. Local authorities or building owners may require more frequent testing depending on the specific site conditions.

What power supply do I need?

Our commercial festive lighting uses low-voltage, energy-efficient LED systems, but the specific power requirement depends on the scale and number of lighting elements and access to power supply. We can conduct a site survey and specify the correct power loading, cabling, and circuit protection for your scheme.

What accreditations should be in place for installing festive lights?

As a highly experienced festive lighting contractor, we meet UK industry standards and heavily invest in training and developing our in-house teams to be some of the most highly qualified, competent crews in the industry. Our qualifications and accreditations include:

Highways Electrical Registration Scheme (HERS) – Registered Organisation
NEBOSH

SSSTS
CSCS
IPAF
G39
Chapter 8 traffic management
Portable pull tester training
PASMA
Risk Assessment Training
First Aid
Manual handling, working at height and safe use of power tools
Electricians qualified to 18th edition

How long does an installation take?

Installation time depends on the scale and complexity of the scheme and number of sites or streets involved, together with logistical considerations such as access constraints. For typical town centre or retail schemes, installation can take anything from a couple of nights, with larger multi-site displays taking up to 3–4 weeks. Our in-house installation teams work through the night to minimise disruption on local businesses.

What happens to my display after Christmas?

After the activation, we will return to safely de-rig all lighting elements and structural fixings. We take great care to remove without damage to infrastructure, together with the safe disconnection of all power supplies. The scheme is transported to our warehouse for maintenance and refurbishment for future years.
