Protect Your Investment with Professional Floodlighting Maintenance

A high-quality floodlighting installation is a long-term investment, and like any critical infrastructure, it requires regular inspection and maintenance to continue operating safely, efficiently and in compliance with current standards.

At SJB Floodlighting, we provide comprehensive maintenance and servicing for sports floodlighting installations across the UK. Whether your system was installed by SJB or another contractor, our experienced engineers can help maximise its performance, extend its lifespan and minimise the risk of costly failures.

From annual inspections and preventative maintenance to emergency repairs and system upgrades, we offer tailored servicing packages for schools, sports clubs, local authorities, leisure centres and professional sporting venues.

​

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Floodlighting systems operate year-round in demanding outdoor environments, exposed to wind, rain, temperature changes and continual electrical loading. Over time, even well-designed installations can experience wear, corrosion and component deterioration.

Without regular maintenance, small issues can quickly develop into major faults, resulting in reduced lighting performance, increased operating costs or unexpected equipment failure.

Routine servicing helps to:

• Maintain safe operation

• Preserve lighting performance

• Identify potential faults before they become serious

• Extend the lifespan of lighting equipment

• Reduce unplanned downtime

• Improve energy efficiency

• Support compliance with current electrical and safety standards

• Protect your investment

A planned maintenance programme provides peace of mind that your lighting system is ready whenever your facility is in use.

​

Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)

Our Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programmes are designed to keep your floodlighting system operating at its best while reducing the likelihood of unexpected failures.

Maintenance schedules can be tailored to suit the size, age and usage of your facility and may include:

• Visual inspections of lighting columns and structures

• Electrical testing and safety checks

• Inspection of switchgear and control equipment

• Verification of earthing and protective devices

• Inspection of underground cable terminations

• Tightening of electrical connections

• Cleaning of luminaires

• Inspection of brackets and fixings

• Functional testing of lighting controls

• Operational testing of all lighting circuits

• Inspection for corrosion or structural deterioration

• Recommendations for repairs or future upgrades

Following each visit, we provide a detailed service report outlining the condition of the installation, completed works and any recommended remedial actions.

​

LED Floodlighting Maintenance

Modern LED floodlighting requires significantly less routine maintenance than older lighting technologies, but periodic inspections remain essential to ensure optimum performance.

Our LED servicing includes:

• Cleaning optical surfaces to maintain light output

• Inspection of drivers and electrical connections

• Verification of control system operation

• Assessment of cooling systems and heat management

• Performance checks

• Lux level assessments where required

Regular servicing helps maintain the efficiency and reliability that LED systems are designed to deliver.

​

Lighting Performance Assessments

Over time, floodlighting performance can change due to component ageing, environmental conditions or accidental movement of luminaires.

Our engineers can assess your installation to determine whether lighting levels continue to meet the required standard.

Services include:

• Lux level testing

• Uniformity assessments

• Floodlight re-aiming

• Performance reporting

• Compliance reviews

• Recommendations for system improvements

This is particularly important for facilities hosting league or competition matches where governing body lighting standards must be maintained.

​

Structural Inspections

Lighting columns are exposed to significant environmental loading throughout their service life.

Regular visual inspections help identify signs of deterioration before they compromise safety or performance.

Our inspections can include:

• Column condition assessments

• Corrosion inspections

• Foundation checks

• Bracket and headframe inspections

• Bolt torque checks

• Structural recommendations

• Replacement planning where required

Where necessary, we can arrange further structural testing or replacement works to ensure continued safe operation.

​

Electrical Testing

Floodlighting installations should be periodically tested to verify the continued integrity of the electrical installation.

Our qualified engineers undertake comprehensive testing in accordance with current electrical regulations, including:

• Circuit testing

• Earth fault testing

• Insulation resistance testing

• RCD testing

• Protective device verification

• Control system testing

• Distribution equipment inspections

Electrical certification can be provided where applicable.

​

Emergency Repairs

Unexpected faults can occur at any time, particularly following severe weather, accidental damage or electrical failures.

Our engineers respond quickly to diagnose and repair faults, helping minimise disruption to your facility.

We regularly attend issues involving:

• Lighting failures

• Electrical faults

• Damaged luminaires

• Control system failures

• Cable faults

• Storm damage

• Vehicle impact damage

• Faulty switchgear

Where immediate repairs are not possible, we will recommend temporary solutions and develop a programme for permanent remedial works.

​

Maintenance for All Manufacturers

Our servicing expertise extends beyond systems installed by SJB.

We maintain and repair a wide variety of sports lighting installations, regardless of manufacturer or original installer.

Whether your facility uses modern LED floodlights or older discharge lighting systems, our engineers can assess the condition of your installation and recommend the most appropriate maintenance or upgrade strategy.

​
