Herne Hill evenings deserve more than a single security floodlight. We create layered lighting schemes that guide steps, highlight planting and make patios usable long after sunset. Whether you’re close to Brockwell Park or walking distance from Herne Hill station, we’ll plan lighting that suits your garden’s layout and how you actually use it. Expect clean lines, discreet fittings and a warm, welcoming finish.
Homes across SE24 often come with Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, each with different access routes and garden proportions. We’re used to long, narrow plots, raised patios and mature boundaries that benefit from careful uplighting and glare control. If you’re in Dulwich, Brixton or near Tulse Hill, we’ll match the lighting style to your architecture and planting palette. The result is practical illumination with a premium look.
Our process starts with a site visit, lighting plan and clear specification, then a tidy installation with cabling routed to minimise disruption. We use quality transformers, weatherproof connections and thoughtful beam angles to avoid harsh hotspots. You’ll get guidance on smart controls, timers and zones, plus aftercare support if you want seasonal tweaks. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and lighting that performs properly in British weather.
We regularly work across the garden lighting Herne hill area, where access can be via side returns or shared passages typical of period terraces. Parking and delivery planning matters around Herne Hill Velodrome events and the Sunday market, so we schedule efficiently and keep disruption low. Ground conditions vary from compacted lawns to established borders, and we choose fixings and cable routes accordingly. We also consider boundary lines and neighbour sightlines to keep light spill under control.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, cable runs and whether you choose smart controls. As a guide, a small scheme (6–10 lights with transformer and timer) is often £1,200–£2,500. Medium gardens with layered lighting (10–20 fittings, zones, uplighting) commonly fall between £2,500–£5,500. Larger, design-led installs with premium fittings can be £6,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–3 days once the design and materials are agreed. A straightforward path lighting run with a few wall lights can often be completed in a day. More complex schemes—uplighting trees, deck lights, multiple zones and smart controls—may take 2–4 days, especially if we’re routing cables under paving or through established planting. Weather, access and the need for making-good can also affect timings.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, particularly for low-voltage systems and discreet fittings. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, flats with shared freeholds, or properties in conservation areas, and there may be considerations around light spill and neighbour amenity. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on best practice. If approvals are needed, we’ll help you understand the steps.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality such as cable routing, connections, and fixing integrity when used as intended. Individual fittings and drivers/transformers also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll provide the paperwork and explain what’s covered, including how to maintain seals and lenses for best performance. If an issue arises, we prioritise diagnostics and a practical fix.
We can tailor a scheme using path lighting, spotlights, uplighting, deck lights, wall lights and festoon lighting for entertaining areas. Popular finishes include powder-coated black, brushed stainless steel and bronze tones to suit period properties. You can choose solar options for specific areas, or a wired LED system for consistent output and control. We’ll recommend beam angles, colour temperature (warm vs neutral) and smart controls to create the right mood without glare.
