Car park lighting in Catford
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Catford sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Local car park lighting in Catford
Many car parks around Catford 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.
We programme car park works in Catford around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
We cover the whole of Catford, including the SE6, SE13 and SE4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Perry Vale, Brockley and Blackheath.
