Local car park lighting in Armadale
Older columns in Armadale sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Footpaths from Armadale car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
Armadale is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts EH48 and EH47. We regularly work across Edinburgh and the Lothians, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
