Car park lighting in Lode
What we do in Lode: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Footpaths from Lode car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Local car park lighting in Lode
New columns in Lode need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Older columns in Lode sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Lode is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts CB25 and CB5. We regularly work across Cambridgeshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
