A well-lit garden changes how you use your home after dark—safer steps, clearer paths and a warmer welcome. We install outdoor lighting schemes across CR2, including homes near Sanderstead Recreation Ground and along routes towards Purley. Whether you want discreet path lighting or feature lighting for trees and planting, we tailor the layout to your garden’s sightlines. The result is lighting that looks considered, not overdone.
Sanderstead is known for larger detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, often with long driveways and generous rear gardens. That means lighting needs to work at scale: guiding visitors from gate to front door, defining terraces, and highlighting mature planting without glare. We regularly design outdoor lighting Sanderstead area homeowners choose for entertaining spaces, side access routes and garage approaches. Every scheme is balanced to suit the architecture and the way you move through the garden.
We start with a site visit to map levels, access points and existing power, then propose a lighting plan with clear zones and controls. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, with careful trenching, weatherproof connections and clean finishes. We test aiming, brightness and timers on completion, and explain how to run the system day-to-day. Homeowners trust us for punctuality, tidy workmanship and long-term reliability backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Croydon, we plan for practicalities like driveway access, on-street parking and protecting established lawns and borders. Many Sanderstead gardens include mature trees and sloping sections, so we use careful cable routes and stable mounting points. We also choose fittings that suit larger frontages and longer pathways common in CR2. If any constraints apply near boundaries or shared access, we design around them from the start.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Outdoor Lighting in Sanderstead, most homeowners budget £800–£3,000 for a complete scheme, depending on garden size and the number of fittings. As a guide, installed lights are typically £100–£500 per light, with premium feature fittings and smart controls at the higher end. Costs also vary with cable runs, access, and whether you want zones for paths, decking and security areas.
Most outdoor lighting projects take 1–2 days from start to finish. Smaller installs—such as a few path lights and a security light—can often be completed in a day. Larger gardens, longer cable routes, multiple zones, or more complex feature lighting can extend the work into a second day. Weather, ground conditions and the need to avoid established planting can also affect the schedule.
In most cases, garden and driveway lighting is permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, some conservation areas, or if you’re adding lighting to structures near boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can advise on sensible placement to minimise glare and neighbour impact. If approvals are required, we’ll help you understand the process before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as cable routing, connections and mounting. Manufacturer warranties apply to the fittings and drivers we supply, and we’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen products. If a light needs re-aiming or a connection issue appears, we can return to diagnose and rectify promptly. We also provide guidance on maintenance to keep performance consistent year-round.
We install path lighting, uplighting for trees and façades, deck lights, security lighting and feature lighting for focal points such as walls or planting beds. Popular finishes include stainless steel, anthracite and discreet black fittings, with warm-white LEDs for a premium look. Smart controls can add timers, zoning, dimming and app control. We’ll recommend beam angles, brightness and placement so the scheme feels cohesive across the whole garden.
