Evenings in Brixton deserve better than a single porch light. We design outdoor lighting schemes that guide you safely along paths, highlight planting, and add atmosphere for entertaining. Whether you’re near Brixton Market or walking distance to Windrush Square, we’ll tailor the layout to your garden’s shape and how you use it. Expect clean finishes, discreet cabling, and lighting that feels intentional rather than harsh.
Homes across SW2 and SW9 range from Victorian terraces with narrow side returns to Georgian houses with formal front gardens, plus modern developments with balconies and courtyards. We’re used to working with brick boundaries, steps, and multi-level patios common around Brixton Hill and Herne Hill. Our fittings and beam angles are chosen to suit period features without overpowering them. For newer builds, we can integrate sleek deck lights and smart controls for a minimalist look.
We start with a site visit to map key sightlines, access routes and any dark spots, then propose a lighting plan with fixture types and positions. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days with tidy trenching, safe connections and testing at night where possible. Every system is installed to a high standard with clear handover guidance for timers and smart apps. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a finish that looks premium in daylight and after dark.
We regularly work across the London Borough of Lambeth, where access can be tight and parking restrictions are common around busy streets near Electric Avenue. Many Brixton gardens have compact footprints, shared boundaries and existing paving that needs careful lifting and reinstatement. We plan cable routes to minimise disruption and keep finishes neat against brick walls and stone steps. Where neighbours are close, we select optics and angles to reduce light spill and keep things comfortable.

For Outdoor Lighting in Brixton, most homeowners budget £800–£3,000 for a complete scheme, depending on the number of fittings and controls. As a guide, installed pricing is usually £100–£500 per light, influenced by fixture quality, cable runs, and whether we’re lighting paths, decks, features or adding security sensors. We’ll recommend a layout that fits your garden and budget without compromising safety or finish.
Most outdoor lighting installations take 1–2 days. Smaller projects such as a few path lights and a single feature uplight can often be completed in a day, while larger schemes with multiple zones, deck lights and smart controls may need two. Timescales depend on access, the length of cable runs, whether we’re working around existing paving, and how many areas you want lit (front, side and rear).
Outdoor lighting is usually permitted for residential gardens, so planning permission isn’t typically required. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if lighting could cause nuisance to neighbours or road users. We’ll discuss positioning, brightness and beam direction to minimise spill and glare. If any permissions or landlord approvals are relevant, we’ll flag them early and help you confirm requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as cable routing, connections and fitting security. Manufacturer warranties on individual lights and smart control components vary by brand, and we’ll confirm these in your proposal. We also test the system on completion and show you how to use timers, sensors and app controls. If anything needs adjustment after the first few evenings, we’ll advise promptly.
We offer a wide range of options, including stainless steel or powder-coated bollards for path lighting, recessed deck lights, warm-white uplights for trees and brickwork, and discreet wall lights for entrances. Security lighting can be PIR-activated and zoned, while feature lighting can use narrow or wide beams depending on what you’re highlighting. We’ll help you choose colour temperature, brightness and finishes that suit your home’s style and avoid glare.
