Local car park lighting in Scalasaig
Older columns in Scalasaig sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Many car parks around Scalasaig 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.
Our teams travel to Scalasaig from across Argyll and Bute. Typical nearby jobs include Port Askaig, Bunessan and Ballygrant, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Scalasaig 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.
