Many Mallaig businesses combine external lighting with car park and yard upgrades in a single visit.
On Mallaig estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Mallaig is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts PH41 and PH40. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Mallaig 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.

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.
