Restoring Light, Preserving Heritage: Expert Pavement Light Repairs in London

Published: November 2025 | Leighton Buzzard, UK

Beneath the pavements of London’s most iconic streets lie hidden gems of Victorian engineering – pavement lights that have quietly illuminated basements for over 130 years. But time, weather, and foot traffic take their toll. Cracked lenses, leaking seals, and failing structures threaten both safety and functionality.

At The Pavement Light Company Ltd, we specialise in the repair, restoration, and replacement of pavement lights across London and the UK. From a single damaged lens in Chelsea to a full reseal in the City, our expert team ensures your pavement lights remain watertight, safe, and beautiful.

The Importance of Timely Pavement Light Repairs

A leaking or damaged pavement light isn’t just an aesthetic issue – it’s a structural and safety concern:

• Water ingress into basements causing damp, mould, and damage to interiors
• Trip hazards from broken or uneven glass lenses
• Non-compliance with local authority safety and licensing requirements
• Reduced natural light, undermining the original purpose of the installation

Our pavement light repair services prevent small issues from becoming costly problems.

Our Specialist Repair & Maintenance Services

We offer a full suite of remedial solutions, all carried out by experienced concrete and glazing specialists:

Damaged Glass Lens Replacement

We stock and install 93mm x 93mm prismatic glass block lenses – the standard size mandated by London authorities since the 1930s. Each lens is carefully removed and replaced with precision to restore clarity and load-bearing integrity.

Pavement Light Resealing & Waterproofing

Leaks are stopped at the source. We provide complete re-mastic and resealing using high-performance sealants, ensuring your basement stays dry and your pavement light remains fully watertight.

In-Situ Cast Panel Repairs

For severely damaged sections, we can cast new concrete panels on-site over prepared bearings, seamlessly integrating with existing structures.
