Local external and security lighting in Crossapol
Many Crossapol businesses combine external lighting with car park and yard upgrades in a single visit.
On Crossapol estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Crossapol is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district PA77. We regularly work across Argyll and Bute, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Crossapol by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Argyll and Bute, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

Crossapol FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Crossapol?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Crossapol?
Yes. We work across Crossapol and the PA77 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Argyll and Bute.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Crossapol?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Should external lights be on all night?
Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
