Evening gardens in SE14 deserve lighting that feels intentional, not an afterthought. We create layered schemes using path lighting, spotlights and wall lights to guide movement and highlight planting. Around New Cross station and Goldsmiths University, many gardens are compact, so careful beam angles and glare control matter. The result is a welcoming space for dinners, arrivals and late-night returns.
Our team knows the garden layouts common across New Cross, Deptford and Brockley, from Victorian terraces with long narrow plots to converted flats with shared courtyards. We plan lighting to suit brick boundaries, existing steps and mature trees, keeping cabling neat and protected. Where outdoor sockets are limited, we can specify solar options or low-energy LED systems. Every design balances ambience with practical visibility.
We start with a site visit, then produce a clear lighting plan showing positions, beam spreads and control options. Installation is tidy and fully tested, with weatherproof fittings and safe cable routing. We schedule works to minimise disruption and leave surfaces clean and secure each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent recommendations and long-term reliability.
In the garden lighting New Cross area, access can be tight and parking can be limited on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and work phases carefully. Many Lewisham properties have older brickwork and shared side returns, which influences fixing methods and cable routes. We also account for mixed surfaces—paving, decking and planted borders—so fittings sit flush and remain easy to maintain. Our approach keeps installations discreet while meeting modern safety standards.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, cabling runs and whether you choose smart controls. As a guide, a small scheme for a typical terrace garden (6–10 lights) often falls around £900–£2,500. Mid-size designs with uplighting, wall lights and transformers commonly range £2,500–£6,000. Larger, fully layered installations with smart zoning can be £6,000–£12,000+.
Most installations take 1–3 days once the design is agreed and fittings are selected. A simple path lighting run may be completed in a day, while schemes with multiple zones, wall lights and smart controls can take longer. Timescales depend on cable routes, ground conditions, access through side returns, and whether we’re integrating lighting into new paving or decking. We confirm a schedule before starting.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, especially for low-voltage fittings within your boundary. However, extra checks may be needed for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if lights could cause nuisance glare to neighbours. We review the site, advise on appropriate brightness and aiming, and can help you confirm any Lewisham-specific requirements before installation.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality and the integrity of our cable routing and fixing methods. Individual fittings and transformers also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. If a fault is traced to installation, we put it right promptly. We’ll also show you how to use controls and advise on simple maintenance to keep performance consistent year-round.
We design schemes using path lighting, uplighting, spotlights, wall lights, deck lights and festoon lighting, tailored to how you use the space. Popular finishes include anthracite, stainless steel and powder-coated black to suit Victorian brick or modern extensions. We can include solar options for low-impact areas and smart controls for scenes, timers and dimming. We’ll recommend beam angles, colour temperature and placement to avoid glare and hotspots.
