We design outdoor lighting that guides guests along paths, highlights planting, and adds reassurance around entrances and side returns. Whether you’re in Carshalton Beeches or near SM5, we’ll plan light levels and beam angles to avoid glare. The result is a garden that feels usable and welcoming long after sunset.
Carshalton’s Victorian and Edwardian houses, period properties and 1930s semis often have mature front gardens, long side access and stepped patios. We’re used to working around original brickwork, bay windows and established borders, keeping cabling discreet and finishes sympathetic. For larger plots near Oaks Park or properties close to The Grove, we can layer lighting zones for entertaining, security and feature planting. Every scheme is tailored so it looks right from the street and from inside the house.
We start with a site visit, discuss how you use the space, then produce a clear lighting plan with fixture options and cable routes. Our installations prioritise safe, compliant electrics, neat trenching and careful reinstatement of lawns and beds. We test light levels at dusk where possible and set up smart controls so you can automate scenes and schedules. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, tidy work and a finish that lasts.
In the outdoor lighting Carshalton area, we often encounter mixed ground conditions and established roots around older gardens, so we plan cable routes to minimise disturbance. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we arrive with compact equipment and keep materials organised. For outdoor lighting in London Borough of Sutton, we also consider neighbouring sightlines and light spill, especially near boundaries. Our designs suit the scale and character of SM5 properties while meeting modern safety expectations.

For most homes, a typical outdoor lighting project in Carshalton falls around £800–£3,000, depending on the number of fittings, cable runs and controls. As a guide, expect roughly £100–£500 per light installed, with higher costs for premium fixtures, complex wiring routes or smart control systems. We’ll recommend the right balance of path, feature and security lighting to match your budget and garden layout.
Most installations take 1–2 days, including setting out, cabling, fitting lights and testing. Smaller schemes (for example, a few path lights and a sensor light) can often be completed in a day. Larger gardens, long cable routes, hard landscaping to work around, or adding smart controls and multiple zones can push it into a second day. Weather and access can also affect timings.
Outdoor lighting is usually permitted for UK homes, as it’s typically classed as a minor garden installation.
