Evening lighting changes how you use your outdoor space, from welcoming entrances to relaxed patio nights. We install tailored systems across SE6, including around Catford Broadway and the routes leading to Mountsfield Park. Expect crisp, glare-free illumination that improves safety on steps and paths while highlighting planting and features. Every layout is planned to look great from indoors as well as outside.
Catford homes often include Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, and ex-council properties, each with different access and cabling routes. We regularly work in the outdoor lighting Catford area, including Hither Green and Grove Park, where front gardens, side returns, and long rear plots benefit from layered lighting. Our designs balance practicality with atmosphere, so you get secure boundaries without a harsh “floodlit” feel. We also consider sightlines from bay windows and kitchen extensions for a cohesive finish.
We start with a site visit, discuss how you use the garden, then produce a clear lighting plan with fixture options and placement. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, with neat cable runs, tidy making-good, and careful aiming and testing at dusk. We use quality, low-energy fittings and offer smart controls where requested for timers, scenes, and app control. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship, and a long-term result that’s easy to maintain.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham, we plan for typical Catford access, shared driveways, and on-street parking constraints. Many SE6 gardens have established planting and mixed paving levels, so we choose fittings and cable routes that protect roots and avoid trip points. We also account for neighbouring sightlines in terraces and semis to prevent glare spill. Our approach keeps installations compliant, tidy, and practical for everyday use.

Most Outdoor Lighting in Catford projects fall between £800 and £3,000, depending on the number of fittings, cable routes, and controls. As a guide, allow £100–£500 per light installed, with simpler path lights at the lower end and premium feature or smart-integrated fittings higher. Costs also vary with power supply location, groundworks needed, and whether you want zones or dimming.
Most installations take 1–2 days, including setting out, cabling, fitting lights, and evening aiming/testing. Smaller schemes (for example, a short path and a couple of uplights) can often be completed in a day. Larger gardens, tricky access, or adding smart controls and multiple zones can extend the timeframe. Weather, existing paving, and the distance to the power source also affect the schedule.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially when fittings are low-profile and within your property boundary. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or if lighting could cause nuisance to neighbours or road users. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise on suitable brightness, positioning, and shielding. If needed, we can help you check relevant Lewisham guidance.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our installation workmanship, giving you confidence that cabling routes, connections, and fitting placement are done properly. Individual light fittings may also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll explain what’s covered before work starts and provide care guidance to keep the system performing well. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and aim to resolve it with minimal disruption.
We offer layered lighting to match how you use your space: path lighting for safe routes, uplighting for trees and walls, deck lights for steps and edges, and security lighting for entrances and side passages. Feature lighting can highlight planting beds, water features, or architectural details. Finishes include stainless steel, black, and discreet recessed styles, with warm-white LEDs a popular choice. We help you choose beam angles, brightness, and smart controls for the right look.
