Good garden lighting changes how you use your outdoor space, especially on darker evenings. We install outdoor lighting around SE20, from practical path lighting to feature lighting that highlights planting and brickwork. Whether you’re near Penge High Street or walking distance to Penge East station, we’ll create a layout that improves safety and atmosphere without glare. Every installation is planned to look right from inside the house as well as from the garden.
Penge has a strong mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions, often with long rear gardens and side returns. We design lighting that respects these proportions, using discreet fittings and warm colour temperatures that flatter period materials. If you’re close to Anerley or Crystal Palace, we’ll also consider levels, steps and access routes so the lighting feels natural rather than over-engineered. The result is a scheme that’s practical for daily routines and impressive for entertaining.
We start with a site visit to map sightlines, power options and the areas you actually use at night. You’ll receive a clear plan covering path lighting, uplighting, deck lights, security lighting and smart controls where required. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, with careful cable routing and neat finishing. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a lighting scheme that performs properly in UK weather.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and installation to minimise disruption. Many Penge gardens have mature planting and mixed surfaces, so we choose fittings and cable routes that protect roots and avoid trip hazards. We also factor in neighbouring sightlines to prevent light spill, which is especially important with terraces and conversions. If any restrictions apply to your property, we’ll flag them early and advise on compliant solutions.

Most projects in the Penge area 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-enabled fittings at the higher end. Costs are also influenced by access, ground conditions and whether new power supplies or isolation are required.
Outdoor lighting installations typically take 1–2 days. A small scheme (for example, a few path lights and one feature uplight) can often be completed in a day, while larger gardens with multiple zones, deck lights and smart controls may need two days. Timescales depend on cable routing, surface types (paving, gravel, lawns) and whether we’re integrating lighting with existing electrics or adding new circuits.
In most cases, domestic outdoor lighting is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, some period conversions, or if you’re in a conservation area, and there may be expectations around light spill and positioning. We’ll check the basics during the survey and recommend a compliant design. Any electrical work is carried out safely and to current UK standards.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality such as cable routing, connections and fitting stability when used as intended. Individual light fittings and smart control components may also include manufacturer warranties, which we’ll confirm before installation. If an issue arises, we’ll diagnose whether it’s a fitting fault, a control setting or an external factor such as accidental damage, and advise on the quickest fix.
We can supply and install a wide range of styles, including stainless steel or powder-coated path lights, low-profile deck lights, warm-white uplights for trees and walls, and PIR or dusk-to-dawn security lights. For control, we offer timers, zoning, dimming and app-based smart controls. We’ll help you choose beam angles, brightness and colour temperature so the scheme feels cohesive and suits your garden layout and how you use the space.
