Well-planned lighting changes how you use your garden, from welcoming arrivals to relaxed evenings outside. We design and install lighting schemes across CR4, including homes near Mitcham Cricket Green and routes bordering Mitcham Common. Expect clean, even illumination with no harsh glare, and careful placement that highlights planting and architecture. Every layout is tailored to your paths, steps and entertaining areas.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates calls for different approaches to cabling routes and fitting styles. For older homes, we often use discreet uplighting to bring out brickwork and mature shrubs without cluttering the space. In 1930s gardens, path lighting and deck lights help define long side returns and patio edges. Newer builds benefit from smart controls and feature lighting that adds character to simpler landscaping.
We start with a quick site survey, then propose a lighting plan showing beam angles, brightness and switching zones. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, with neat trenching, protected cabling and weatherproof connections. You’ll get clear guidance on using timers, sensors and app controls, plus a 10-year warranty for peace of mind. Homeowners choose us because we’re based just 10 minutes away and we keep the job organised and tidy.
We’re used to working in the London Borough of Merton, where access can be tight on residential streets and parking may need planning. Gardens around Pollards Hill and Figges Marsh often have long boundaries and shared side paths, so we design lighting zones to avoid spill into neighbours’ windows. We also account for mixed ground conditions near green spaces, choosing fixings and cable protection that stand up to wet patches and heavy footfall. Our approach keeps disruption low and finishes crisp.

Most projects in Mitcham fall between £800 and £3,000, depending on the number of fittings, cable runs and control options. As a guide, budget around £100–£500 per light installed, with premium feature lights and smart controls at the higher end. Costs also vary with access, the need to lift paving, and whether you want multiple lighting zones for paths, planting and security.
Outdoor lighting installations usually take 1–2 days for a typical Mitcham garden. A small path-and-patio setup may be completed in a day, while larger schemes with uplighting, deck lights and several control zones can take longer. Timescales depend on the number of lights, how far we need to run cables, and whether we’re working around existing paving, lawns or established planting beds.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for low-voltage systems and discreet fittings. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re adding prominent fixtures to front elevations. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and help you keep the design compliant, including sensible aiming and brightness to reduce light spill and nuisance.
Our outdoor lighting installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation-related issues, giving you long-term confidence. If a connection, cable route or fitting position causes a fault due to installation, we’ll put it right. Manufacturer warranties on fittings and lamps vary by brand and specification, and we’ll confirm these before you proceed. We also provide guidance on maintenance to keep performance consistent.
We offer a wide choice, including stainless steel or powder-coated path lights, warm-white uplighters for trees and walls, recessed deck lights, and PIR security floodlights. Feature lighting can highlight water elements, specimen planting or architectural details. Smart controls can include app scheduling, dusk-to-dawn sensors and zoned dimming. We’ll help you choose finishes and colour temperatures that suit your home style and avoid overly bright, clinical results.
