Car park lighting in Boat of Garten

Local car park lighting in Boat of Garten
Many car parks around Boat of Garten 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.
Older columns in Boat of Garten sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.
We cover the whole of Boat of Garten, including the PH24, PH23 and PH25 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Nethy Bridge, Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey.
We cover Boat of Garten by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
