Car park lighting in Woodley
New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Many car parks around Woodley 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.
Local car park lighting in Woodley
Footpaths from Woodley car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
New columns in Woodley need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Woodley sits within Berkshire. We work throughout the RG5, RG6 and RG10 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Lower Earley, Twyford and Reading.
