Local car park lighting in Winchester
Older columns in Winchester sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
Many car parks around Winchester 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.
Winchester is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts SO23, SO22 and SO21. We regularly work across Hampshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Winchester FAQs

Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
