Car park lighting in Bowmore
What we do in Bowmore: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Bowmore car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Bowmore
Many car parks around Bowmore still use sodium lanterns on columns that are structurally fine. Swapping just the heads for LED gives whiter, more even light for much less power.
New columns in Bowmore need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Bowmore sits within Argyll and Bute. We work throughout the PA43, PA44 and PA48 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Port Charlotte, Ballygrant and Port Ellen.
We cover Bowmore by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Argyll and Bute, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

Bowmore FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Bowmore?
Most surveys in Bowmore can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you remove the old fittings in Bowmore?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
