Local car park lighting in Shadwell
Older columns in Shadwell sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Many car parks around Shadwell 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.
Shadwell is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts E1W, E1 and EC3N. We regularly work across Greater London, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
