Nunhead gardens come alive after dark with well-planned lighting that feels calm, not harsh. We install path lighting for steps and side returns, plus uplighting to frame trees and feature planting. For homes near Nunhead Cemetery or around Nunhead Green, we create schemes that respect the area’s character while improving security and usability. Every layout is designed to reduce glare and highlight what matters.
Many properties in SE15 are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages, often with long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries. We’re used to working with tight side access, mature planting and mixed paving levels. Lighting is chosen to complement brickwork, timber decking and traditional garden details. If you’re close to Peckham, Brockley or East Dulwich, we tailor beam angles and mounting heights to avoid light spill into neighbouring windows.
We start with an evening-friendly design plan, then map cable routes and transformer locations before any digging. Installations are neat and discreet, with safe, weatherproof connections and tidy reinstatement of borders and paving. You’ll get clear options for solar choices, low-voltage systems and smart controls, plus guidance on running costs. Homeowners trust us for punctuality, careful workmanship and a finish that looks considered from day one.
We know the access and parking realities around SE15 streets, so we plan deliveries and install days to minimise disruption. In the garden lighting nunhead area, long terrace plots often need careful cable routing to avoid roots and established borders. We also consider boundary proximity and sightlines, especially near Telegraph Hill Park approaches where homes sit close together. Our designs suit period façades and keep light spill controlled for neighbours.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, cable runs and control options. As a guide, a small scheme (6–10 lights with a transformer) often starts around £900–£1,800. Medium gardens with feature uplighting, deck lights and zoning typically fall in the £2,000–£4,500 range. Larger, fully designed systems with smart controls and more circuits can be £5,000+. We’ll provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–2 days for a straightforward path-and-feature setup, including cable trenching and testing. Medium schemes with multiple zones, wall lights and deck lights usually take 2–4 days. Larger gardens or complex layouts can take a week, especially if we’re coordinating with new paving or planting. Timescales depend on access, ground conditions, the number of fittings, and whether smart controls require additional setup.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, particularly for low-voltage fittings and discreet wall lights. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or if lighting could cause nuisance through excessive brightness or light spill. We’ll advise on best practice, aiming beams away from neighbours and highways. If any permissions or landlord approvals are needed, we’ll flag them before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as cable joints, connections and fitting placement. Manufacturer warranties on fittings, drivers and smart controllers vary by brand, and we’ll confirm these in your quote. If a fault occurs, we’ll diagnose it promptly and recommend the most cost-effective fix. We also show you how to use timers, dimming and scenes to reduce wear and running costs.
We offer a wide range of styles, from discreet black powder-coated path lights to stainless steel and brass fittings for a more architectural look. Popular choices include uplighting for trees, spotlights for feature planting, wall lights for patios, deck lights for steps, and festoon lighting for entertaining. You can choose solar options where suitable, or mains-powered low-voltage for consistent output. We’ll design a scheme around your garden layout and preferred ambience.
