New columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Available across Portsmouth and Hampshire. We programme car park works in Portsmouth around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
Local car park lighting in Portsmouth
New columns in Portsmouth need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
Older columns in Portsmouth sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
We cover the whole of Portsmouth, including the PO1, PO5 and PO2 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Southsea, Gosport and South Hayling.
