We plan lift access in Lochdon around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
Warehouses around Lochdon often still run 400 W metal halide or sodium high bays that take minutes to strike up. LED comes on instantly and usually uses less than half the power.
For Lochdon premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Lochdon 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.
