Clapham evenings don’t end when the sun goes down—especially around Clapham Common and the routes towards Clapham Junction station. We design outdoor lighting that guides you safely along paths, highlights planting, and adds a warm glow to patios and balconies. Whether you’re in SW4 or SW11, we tailor the scheme to your layout and how you use the space. The result is lighting that feels intentional, not over-bright.
Homes across Clapham North, Clapham South and Clapham Old Town often include Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments with courtyards or roof terraces. Period properties benefit from discreet fittings that respect original brickwork and iron railings, while newer builds suit cleaner lines and smart automation. We plan cable routes, transformer locations and beam angles to suit tighter side returns and shared boundaries. Every design balances ambience with practical visibility.
We start with a site visit, discuss zones (arrival, dining, planting, security), then produce a clear lighting plan and itemised quote. Our team installs safely with weatherproof connections, tidy trenching, and minimal disruption—typically completed in 1–2 days. We test at dusk, adjust aiming for the best effect, and show you how to use timers or smart controls. Fine Landscaping is based 20 minutes away, so aftercare and tweaks are straightforward.
We regularly work across the outdoor lighting Clapham area, where access can mean narrow side passages, basement steps and limited front-garden space. In the outdoor lighting in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth context, we plan around parking restrictions, considerate working hours and shared boundaries. Soil conditions vary from compacted garden beds to paved courtyards, so we choose suitable fixings and cable protection. We also keep fittings discreet on period façades and railings to suit conservation-minded streets.

Most projects in Clapham fall between £800 and £3,000, depending on the number of fittings, cable runs and controls. As a guide, expect £100–£500 per light installed, with simpler path lights at the lower end and premium feature or smart-controlled fittings at the higher end. Costs also change with access, trenching requirements, and whether you want sensors, timers or app-based control.
Outdoor lighting is usually installed in 1–2 days for a typical Clapham garden or terrace. A small scheme with a few path lights and one feature uplight can be completed in a day, while larger layouts with multiple zones, decking lights and smart controls may take two. Timescales depend on cable routing, the amount of paving or planting to work around, and whether we’re integrating with existing electrics.
In most cases, garden and driveway lighting is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re fixing lights to certain elevations. We’ll flag anything that looks sensitive and advise on the safest approach, including light levels and positioning to avoid nuisance glare. If permissions or landlord approvals are needed, we can help you prepare the details.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor lighting installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as failed connections, cable problems or water ingress at joints. Manufacturer warranties apply to the fittings, lamps and drivers, and we’ll explain what’s covered for the products you choose. We also test the system on completion and can return to fine-tune aiming or settings after you’ve lived with it.
We offer a wide range of options, including low-glare path lighting, uplighting for trees and brick walls, recessed deck lights, PIR security lighting, and feature lighting for steps or seating areas. Finishes typically include stainless steel, powder-coated black, bronze and stone-effect fittings to suit period terraces or modern apartments. We’ll help you choose beam angles, colour temperature (warm to neutral), and smart controls for scenes, timers and app control.
