West Dulwich is known for leafy streets and period properties, and lighting needs to respect that character.

Across West Dulwich and nearby Herne Hill, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and installation times carefully. Many gardens sit behind period boundaries and mature planting, so we choose fittings and beam spreads that avoid spill into neighbours’ windows. We’re familiar with typical SE21 layouts, including long side returns and stepped paths, and we route cabling to protect roots and keep finishes discreet. This is garden lighting in London Borough of Lambeth done with local practicalities in mind.

Costs vary by garden size, number of fittings and whether you choose smart controls. As a guide, a small scheme with 6–10 lights and a basic transformer typically starts around £1,200–£2,500. Medium gardens with zoning, uplighting and deck lights often fall between £2,500–£5,500. Larger, fully designed systems with premium fittings and smart dimming can be £6,000–£12,000+. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
Most installations take 1–3 days, depending on the number of lights, cable routes and ground conditions. A simple path lighting run can often be completed in a day, while mixed schemes (uplighting, wall lights, deck lights and festoon points) usually need 2–3 days. If trenching is complex, access is restricted, or you want smart controls with multiple zones, allow extra time for testing, programming and evening aiming adjustments.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission, especially for low-level fittings and standard wall lights. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re adding prominent fixtures to a front elevation. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey and can advise on best practice for avoiding light spill and neighbour impact. If permissions are needed, we’ll guide you through the next steps.
