Local car park lighting in Upton
Footpaths from Upton car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
New columns in Upton need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Upton sits within Dorset. We work throughout the BH16, BH18 and BH15 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Poole, Wimborne Minster and Wareham.
