Elephant & Castle gardens and balconies often need lighting that works hard: guiding steps, highlighting planting and making outdoor seating feel usable after dusk. Around Elephant Park and the Strata Tower, we install lighting that complements contemporary architecture without glare. From SE1 courtyards to SE17 terraces, we balance ambience with practical visibility. The result is a scheme that looks considered, not over-lit.
Our team regularly works across the garden lighting Elephant & Castle area, including Kennington and Walworth, where layouts range from compact new-build patios to longer Victorian terrace gardens. High-rise and apartment developments often benefit from low-profile deck lights and wall lights that keep walkways clear. Period properties suit warmer uplighting on brickwork, trees and feature planting. We tailor beam angles, colour temperature and fittings to your property style and how you use the space.
We start with a site visit to map routes, seating zones and sightlines, then propose a clear lighting plan and cable routes. Installations are carried out neatly with weatherproof connections, safe transformers and careful testing before handover. We can include solar options where suitable and smart controls for timers, scenes and app control. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean finishes and lighting that performs year-round.
Access and parking can be tight around Newington and Borough, so we plan deliveries and minimise disruption. Many gardens here are compact, with shared boundaries, so we use controlled optics to avoid light spill into neighbours’ windows. New-build developments may have strict management rules, and we’re used to working within them. We also specify corrosion-resistant fittings to suit exposed roof terraces and balconies.

Costs vary by the number of fittings, cable runs and whether you choose smart controls. As a guide, small schemes for patios or balconies often start around £600–£1,200, while medium gardens with path lighting, uplighting and a few wall lights are commonly £1,500–£3,500. Larger, zoned installations with premium fittings and smart scenes can be £4,000–£8,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–2 days for a small patio or balcony scheme, and 2–4 days for a typical terrace garden with multiple circuits. Timescales depend on the number of fittings, the need for trenching, surface types (paving, decking, planters) and access constraints common in SE1 and SE17. Smart controls and additional features like festoon lighting can add time for setup and testing. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep disruption minimal.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for low-voltage systems and standard wall lights. However, extra care may be needed for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where fittings change the exterior appearance significantly. Apartment blocks can also have freeholder or management company rules. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on compliant placement and cabling, and help you check requirements before installation.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality such as cable routing, connections and fixing points. Individual light fittings and smart components also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll register products where applicable and provide documentation at handover. If a fault occurs due to installation workmanship within the warranty period, we’ll return to diagnose and rectify it promptly, subject to fair use and accidental damage exclusions.
We offer path lighting, uplighting, deck lights, festoon lighting, spotlights and wall lights in finishes such as stainless steel, powder-coated aluminium and discreet black or bronze. For energy efficiency, we specify LED fittings and can include solar options where conditions allow. Smart controls can add timers, motion sensors and app-based scenes for different moods. We’ll help you choose beam angles, colour temperature and placement to suit planting, architecture and how you use your outdoor space.
