Car park lighting in Southwell
In short: new columns, LED lantern upgrades and controls for car parks. Older columns in Southwell sometimes show corrosion at the base. We check condition before fitting new lanterns.

Local car park lighting in Southwell
We programme car park works in Southwell around opening hours, closing bays in sections rather than the whole car park.
New columns in Southwell need ducting and foundations, so we survey ground conditions and existing cable routes before quoting.
For Southwell premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
