Local car park lighting in Penicuik
Older columns in Penicuik sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Footpaths from Penicuik car parks to building entrances often benefit from low-level bollards rather than more columns.
We cover the whole of Penicuik, including the EH26, EH25 and EH24 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Roslin, Rosewell and Loanhead.

Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
