Evening lighting transforms how you use your garden, whether you’re walking from the drive to the front door or entertaining outdoors. We design lighting schemes that suit Cheam Village properties and the greener edges near Nonsuch Park. Expect clean cable routes, discreet fittings and carefully aimed beams that avoid glare. We can also add security lighting for entrances and side returns.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and larger executive homes calls for a tailored approach. We regularly work across SM2 and SM3, where front gardens, side access and mature planting can influence cable runs and fitting positions. For older homes, we keep the look sympathetic with warm colour temperatures and hidden fixtures. For newer extensions and outdoor kitchens, we integrate deck lights and smart controls for a seamless finish.
We start with a site visit to map key routes, viewing angles and dark spots, then propose a practical layout and fitting choices. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, with neat trenching, proper weatherproof connections and thorough testing. Our team works considerately around neighbours, parking and access, and we leave the garden tidy. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and long-lasting results.
Working in the outdoor lighting Cheam area, we plan around conservation-area sensitivities and the varied frontages found near Cheam Village. Many properties have limited side access, so we choose efficient cable routes and low-impact trenching. In the London Borough of Sutton, parking and skip placement can be tight on residential roads, so we schedule deliveries carefully. We also account for mature trees and established hedges that can block or scatter light.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For outdoor lighting in Cheam, allow around £100–£500 per light installed, depending on fitting type, cable runs and control options. Most homeowners spend £800–£3,000 for a complete scheme covering paths, feature areas and one or two security points. Costs rise with longer distances from the power source, smart controls, and premium fixtures such as recessed deck lights or architectural uplighters.
Most installations take 1–2 days, depending on the number of lights and how complex the wiring routes are. A simple path lighting run with a transformer and timer can often be completed in a day. Larger schemes with uplighting, deck lights and multiple zones may need two days, especially if we’re working around established planting, patios, or limited side access and careful reinstatement is required.
In most cases, garden and driveway lighting is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, or where fittings affect the appearance of the frontage. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey and, if needed, advise on Sutton council considerations such as glare, light spill and appropriate positioning so the installation remains compliant and neighbour-friendly.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as cable routing, connections and weatherproofing when the system is used as intended. Individual light fittings and smart control components also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll explain what’s covered before work begins and provide guidance on basic maintenance to keep performance consistent year-round.
We offer path lighting, uplighting for trees and façades, deck lights for steps and seating areas, security lighting for entrances, and feature lighting for planting or water features. Finishes range from discreet black and stainless steel to more traditional styles suited to period homes. We’ll help you choose beam angles, brightness and warm/cool colour temperatures, then add smart controls for timers, dimming and scene settings.
