Evening gardens should feel welcoming, not gloomy. Our lighting designs bring definition to planting, highlight architectural details and make routes safer after dark. If you’re near Elmers End station or walking routes by South Norwood Country Park, well-placed path lights and wall lights make a noticeable difference. We install discreet fittings that blend into the garden by day and perform beautifully at night.
Elmers End has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different sightlines and exterior materials. We tailor beam angles and brightness to avoid glare in bay windows, side returns and narrower passageways. For larger rear gardens common around BR3, spotlights and uplighting can add depth without flooding the whole space. Deck lights and festoon lighting work particularly well for patios and entertaining areas.
We start with a site visit, night-time considerations and a clear lighting plan showing fitting locations and cable routes. Installations are neat and durable, with careful trenching, tidy finishes and safe connections. You’ll get practical guidance on smart controls, timers and solar options where suitable. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and lighting that’s designed to last.
Working across the London Borough of Bromley, we plan installs with practical access and parking in mind, especially on residential streets near the Croydon Tramlink. Many homes in Elmers End have side passages and established boundaries, so we route cabling discreetly and protect paving and planting. We also consider neighbouring windows and sightlines to keep lighting comfortable and considerate. The result is garden lighting Elmers End area homeowners can enjoy without harsh spill or cluttered fittings.

Costs depend on the number of fittings, cable runs, power supply and control options. As a guide, small setups (4–6 path or wall lights) often start around £800–£1,500. Mid-sized gardens with uplighting, spotlights and smart controls commonly fall between £1,800–£3,500. Larger schemes with multiple zones, deck lights and premium fittings can be £4,000–£7,500+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–2 days for a straightforward path lighting or wall lighting scheme. Medium projects with several zones, uplighting and deck lights typically take 2–4 days. Larger gardens or complex cabling routes can take up to a week, especially if we’re working around existing paving, mature planting or limited access. Timescales also depend on power supply upgrades, weather, and whether smart controls require additional setup and testing.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if lighting could affect neighbours or road users (for example, very bright front-garden spotlights). We’ll advise on suitable brightness, angles and placement, and we can help you check any relevant Bromley guidance before installation so everything stays compliant and considerate.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty covering installation quality, including cable routing, connections and fitting placement. Manufacturer warranties on luminaires, transformers and smart controllers vary by brand, and we’ll confirm these in your quote. If an issue arises due to installation, we’ll return to diagnose and rectify it promptly. We also offer guidance on maintenance, cleaning lenses and seasonal timer adjustments to keep performance consistent.
We install a wide range of options, including path lighting, uplighting for trees and walls, recessed deck lights, festoon lighting for entertaining, and discreet spotlights for features. Wall lights can improve security and make entrances more usable, while solar options suit areas where cabling is impractical. Smart controls allow dimming, zoning and scheduled scenes via app or timer. We’ll recommend colour temperature, beam spreads and finishes that suit your garden and property style.
