Local car park lighting in Ballyclare
Older columns in Ballyclare sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Many car parks around Ballyclare 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.
Ballyclare is a smaller town, covered by postcode district BT39. We regularly work across County Antrim, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Is the price fixed?
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.
