Local car park lighting in Maidenhead
Many car parks around Maidenhead 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.
Footpaths from Maidenhead car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Maidenhead is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts SL6, SL8 and SL7. We regularly work across Berkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
