A well-planned lighting scheme changes how you use your garden, from relaxed evenings on the patio to safer trips along the path. We install outdoor lighting across Orpington, including BR5 and BR6, with designs that look great by day and perform at night. If you’re near Orpington station or heading through the High Street, you’ll know how valuable good visibility and security lighting can be. We bring that same clarity and warmth to your home’s exterior.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates benefits from lighting that respects the architecture and planting. In Petts Wood and St Mary Cray, we often work with longer side returns, stepped levels and mature borders that need careful beam control. For newer developments, we focus on clean lines, discreet fittings and smart controls. The result is a scheme that feels intentional, not overlit.
We start with a site visit, then map key routes, features and sightlines before selecting fittings and colour temperatures. Installations are completed neatly in 1–2 days, with cabling routed sensibly and surfaces left tidy. Every project is tested, demonstrated and documented, so you know exactly how to operate timers, sensors or app controls. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, dependable workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, we regularly deal with mixed access, shared drives and on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and installation times carefully. Orpington gardens can include clay-heavy soils and established roots, which affects cable routes and fixing methods. We adapt fitting choices to suit brickwork, timber decking and rendered finishes common locally. The aim is a robust installation that looks clean and remains easy to maintain.

Most projects fall between £800 and £3,000 depending on the number of lights, cable runs and controls. As a guide, expect around £100–£500 per light installed, with simpler path lighting at the lower end and premium feature or smart-controlled fittings at the higher end. Costs also vary with access, whether you want PIR security lights, and how much groundwork is needed to conceal cabling neatly.
Most outdoor lighting installations take 1–2 days. A straightforward scheme with a few path lights and a security light can often be completed in a day, while larger gardens with multiple zones, uplighting and smart controls may need two. Timescales depend on the number of fittings, cable routing, ground conditions, and whether we’re working around existing patios, decking or mature planting that requires careful protection.
In most cases, garden and driveway lighting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially when fittings are modest in size and positioned sensibly. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or if lighting could cause nuisance to neighbours or road users. We’ll advise on appropriate placement, brightness and angles, and we’ll flag any situations where you may need to check with the London Borough of Bromley before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as cable routing, fixing integrity and connection reliability. Manufacturer warranties on fittings and transformers vary by brand and specification, and we’ll confirm these before you choose products. After installation, we test the system thoroughly and show you how to use timers, sensors or smart controls. If a problem arises, we respond promptly to diagnose and resolve it.
We install a wide range of options, including path lighting, uplighting for trees and walls, deck lights, security lighting, feature lighting and smart controls. Popular choices include warm-white LED spikes for borders, recessed deck fittings, wall washers for textured brickwork and PIR floodlights for side access. We help you select beam angles, brightness and colour temperature to avoid glare and light spill, creating a balanced scheme that suits your garden.
