Evenings around Denmark Hill deserve a garden you can actually use, not a space that disappears after dusk. From tidy path lighting for front approaches near Denmark Hill station to warm wall lights for rear patios, we plan lighting that looks intentional, not overdone. We also add uplighting to show off trees, brickwork and planting for year-round impact. Every layout is designed to reduce glare while improving security and visibility.
Local homes across SE5 include Victorian terraces, elegant Georgian houses and purpose-built flats with shared gardens and balconies. These properties often benefit from subtle deck lights, compact spotlights and carefully positioned wall fittings that respect period features. Where gardens are narrow or split-level, we use layered lighting to avoid harsh shadows and to make steps and edges clearer. We’ll match colour temperature and beam angles to your planting scheme and outdoor materials.
We start with a site visit, then provide a clear lighting plan covering cable routes, fitting positions and control options. Installations are completed neatly with minimal disruption, and we test levels at dusk to fine-tune the effect. You’ll get practical guidance on running costs, timers and smart scenes, plus maintenance advice for long-term reliability. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, transparent communication and dependable aftercare.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark means planning around tighter access, permit parking and shared boundaries. Denmark Hill gardens often have mature trees and long, narrow plots, so we balance uplighting and path lighting to avoid light spill into neighbouring windows. We’re used to Victorian frontage details and iron railings, selecting fittings that sit discreetly and won’t look out of place. Where ground conditions are compacted or root-heavy, we route cabling carefully to protect planting and paving.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, power supply and controls. As a guide, small upgrades with a few path lights or wall lights often start around £600–£1,500. A mid-sized scheme with uplighting, spotlights and smart controls commonly falls between £1,800–£4,500. Larger gardens or premium systems with multiple zones, deck lights and extensive cabling can be £5,000–£10,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 days, depending on the number of lights and how cables are routed. A simple path lighting run or a couple of wall lights can be completed in a day. More complex designs with uplighting, deck lights and smart controls may take 2–5 days, especially if we’re working around existing paving, mature roots, or limited access typical of SE5 terraces and flats.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, particularly for standard low-voltage systems and wall-mounted fittings. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering external elevations significantly. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise on best practice for glare, light spill and neighbour considerations, keeping your installation compliant and considerate.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality such as cable routing, connections and fitting placement. Individual light fittings and transformers also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll provide paperwork and guidance on care, including cleaning lenses and checking seals. If an issue arises, we diagnose quickly and recommend the most cost-effective repair or replacement route.
We offer path lighting, uplighting, deck lights, festoon lighting, spotlights and wall lights in finishes such as powder-coated aluminium, stainless steel and aged brass. You can choose warm or neutral white colour temperatures, narrow or wide beam angles, and glare-control accessories. Solar options suit borders and outbuildings where wiring is awkward. We help you select a cohesive look and control setup, including smart scenes and dimming.
