A well-lit garden changes how you use your outdoor space, especially on darker evenings and early mornings. We create tailored schemes for homes around Shortlands station and towards Bromley, balancing safety with atmosphere. Expect thoughtful placement for paths, steps and entrances, plus feature lighting that flatters planting and architecture. Every design is planned to avoid glare and light spill into neighbours’ windows.
The Shortlands area is known for larger Edwardian houses, Victorian villas and well-kept 1930s properties, often with generous front drives and mature rear gardens. We match lighting styles to period details—warm, discreet fittings for brickwork and bay fronts, and clean-lined options for modern extensions. Whether you’re near St Mary's Church or closer to Beckenham, we’ll plan cable routes and fixture positions to protect lawns, borders and paving. We also offer solar options where wiring access is limited.
We start with a site visit and lighting plan, then specify fittings, beam angles and colour temperature to suit how you use the garden. Installation is tidy and carefully tested, with clear labelling for future maintenance and simple handover guidance. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and long-lasting results. Our systems can include smart controls, so you can set scenes, timers and dusk-to-dawn automation with confidence.
Across the London Borough of Bromley we often work with mature planting, established hedges and mixed paving levels, which affect beam spread and placement. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads near Shortlands station, so we plan deliveries and installation to keep disruption low. Period homes in BR2 benefit from warm-white tones and discreet fixtures that don’t fight the façade. We also position lights to reduce spill and comply with neighbour-friendly best practice.

Costs vary by garden size, number of fittings and whether you choose mains-wired, solar options or smart controls. As a guide, a small path-and-entrance setup typically starts around £900–£1,800. Medium gardens with uplighting, spotlights and wall lights often fall between £2,000–£4,500. Larger schemes with deck lights, festoon lighting and multiple zones can be £5,000–£10,000+ depending on specification.
Most installations take 1–3 days once the design is agreed and materials are on site. A simple path lighting run can be completed in a day, while larger gardens with uplighting, deck lights and several circuits may take longer. Timescales depend on ground conditions, cable routes, the need to lift and relay paving, and whether we’re integrating smart controls or working around established planting.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if lighting could cause nuisance through glare or light spill. We’ll advise on sensible positioning, angles and brightness, and we can help you check any relevant Bromley guidance before installation to keep everything compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for garden lighting installations, covering issues related to installation quality such as cable routing, connections and fixture mounting. Individual fittings and transformers also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and show you how to use controls and timers correctly, helping to protect performance and extend the life of the system.
We design schemes using path lighting, uplighting, spotlights, wall lights and deck lights, with optional festoon lighting for entertaining areas. Finishes commonly include powder-coated black, stainless steel and anthracite to suit period façades and modern extensions. You can choose warm-white or neutral-white tones, different beam angles, and solar options where appropriate. We’ll recommend a layout based on sightlines, planting, and how you use the garden at night.
