Chislehurst gardens deserve lighting that feels considered, not overdone. We install path lighting, uplighting and feature lighting that guides you safely while showing off planting, trees and architecture. Whether you’re near Chislehurst Common or heading home from St Nicholas Church, well-placed lights transform evening access and kerb appeal. Our designs balance ambience, security and practical visibility for BR7 properties.
Many homes locally are large detached houses, Victorian villas and characterful period properties, often with mature boundaries and long driveways. We tailor outdoor lighting in the Chislehurst area to suit these settings—discreet fittings for heritage façades, and layered lighting for bigger plots. In Elmstead and Mottingham, we frequently work around established planting and multiple entrances. The result is a cohesive night-time look that complements the property rather than competing with it.
We start with a site visit and a simple lighting plan, then agree fixture positions, beam angles and control options. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, with tidy cable routes, safe connections and clear handover instructions. We use reliable components and fit with longevity in mind, including weatherproofing and glare control. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent pricing and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Chislehurst plots often have long front drives, mature roots and mixed surfaces, so we plan cable routes to avoid disruption. Parking and access can be tight on some residential roads, so we schedule deliveries and keep work areas compact. We also consider neighbouring sightlines around Chislehurst Common to reduce light spill. If any restrictions apply to listed features or boundary walls, we’ll advise before work starts.

Costs vary by the number of fittings, cable runs and control options. As a guide, outdoor lighting is typically £100–£500 per light installed depending on the fitting type (path, deck, uplight or security) and complexity. Most Chislehurst projects come in around £800–£3,000 for a well-balanced scheme. Smart controls, longer driveways and more groundwork can increase the total.
Most installations take 1–2 days, depending on how many lights you choose and how accessible the cable routes are. A simple path lighting run and a few uplights can often be completed in a day, while larger gardens with multiple zones, deck lights and smart controls may take two. Existing paving, mature planting and the need to conceal cables neatly can also affect timescales.
In most cases, outdoor lighting for gardens and driveways is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if fittings are attached to certain structures. We’ll discuss your property details, check any relevant constraints, and recommend low-glare, well-aimed solutions to minimise nuisance. If approvals are needed, we’ll guide you on what to submit and why.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as connections, cable routing and fitting security. Individual products may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we’ll confirm before you choose fittings. We’ll show you how to operate timers, sensors or smart controls and leave everything tested and documented. If a problem arises, we respond promptly and aim for a straightforward fix.
We install a wide range of options, including path lighting, uplighting for trees and façades, deck lights for steps and edges, and security lighting with PIR sensors. Feature lighting can be used to pick out sculptures, water features or specimen planting. We also offer smart controls for scenes, dimming and scheduling. We’ll help you choose finishes and beam angles that suit your home’s style and avoid harsh glare.
