Illuminating Communities, Building Scotland's Future

Scotland's leading infrastructure specialists since 1978. From street lighting, roads reinstatement to creating lasting social impact – we're building tomorrow while honouring yesterday, lighting up lives across Scotland.

Excellence Rooted in Experience

Established in 1978, Lightways Contractors Ltd has evolved from a local lighting specialist into Scotland's most socially responsible infrastructure partner. Operating from three strategically positioned depots across central Scotland, our team of over 150 skilled professionals delivers exceptional street lighting, road re-surfacing, and festive lighting installations that illuminate communities while creating lasting social value.

What distinguishes Lightways is our comprehensive in-house capability. Our specialist teams of fully qualified experts maintain complete quality control across every project phase – from initial consultation through to completion and ongoing maintenance. This integrated approach ensures consistency, accountability, and the technical excellence our clients expect.

Complete Infrastructure Solutions

Our street lighting services span the full spectrum of modern illumination requirements. We install and maintain standard, specialist, and LED units across streets, footways, and car parks throughout Scotland. Our expertise extends to complex high mast installations and refurbishments, complemented by our festive and decorative lighting installations that transform communities during the winter season. All services are supported by proactive maintenance programmes and 24/7 emergency response capabilities designed specifically for local authorities and housing associations.

In road resurfacing and reinstatement, our proficiency covers all carriageway and footway surface types – from asphalt and block paving to decorative setts, grano, and specialist slabs. Our skilled teams guarantee meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every project delivers durability, precision, and compliance with stringent industry standards.

Beyond Business – Illuminating Communities

At Lightways, we measure success beyond profit margins. Our "Illuminating Communities" corporate social responsibility programme represents our commitment to creating meaningful social value where we work. From providing free festive lighting installations for Strathcarron Hospice and Kilbryde Hospice to installing sports facility lighting for disadvantaged youth groups, we leverage our technical expertise to support those who need it most.
