Car park lighting in Oban
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Oban and Argyll and Bute. New columns in Oban need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Local car park lighting in Oban
Many car parks around Oban 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.
We programme car park works in Oban around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
For Oban premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Oban 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.

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.
