Well-planned lighting changes how you use your garden, from evening arrivals to relaxed entertaining. We design and install discreet path lighting, feature uplighting and practical security lighting for homes across Sidcup. Whether you’re near Sidcup High Street or walking distance to Foots Cray Meadows, we tailor the layout to your routes, planting and sightlines. The result is a warm, balanced scheme that looks good and works hard year-round.
Sidcup’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and modern developments calls for different approaches to cabling, mounting and light levels. We regularly work around established front gardens, side access routes and mature planting in DA14 and DA15. For period properties, we keep fittings understated and sympathetic; for newer builds, we can integrate clean-lined deck lights and smart controls. Every design is scaled to the plot so it feels intentional, not over-lit.
We start with a site visit to map key areas, power options and any potential glare issues. Next, we propose a lighting plan covering beam angles, colour temperature and control zones, then install neatly with weatherproof connections. Your system is tested at night where possible, so you can see the effect before we sign off. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In the outdoor lighting Sidcup area, we often plan around shared driveways, narrow side passages and on-street parking, so we schedule deliveries and access carefully. We use robust, IP-rated fittings and secure cable routes to cope with year-round weather and garden use. For properties near Foots Cray, we’re mindful of spill light and aim beams away from neighbours and windows. We also keep installations tidy and compliant, with sensible placement of transformers and controls.

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 higher costs for premium fittings, longer runs, or smart zoning. Path lighting schemes are often simpler, while feature uplighting and integrated deck lights can add complexity. We’ll recommend a layout that fits your budget and avoids unnecessary fittings.
Outdoor lighting is typically installed in 1–2 days for most Sidcup homes. A straightforward path-and-security setup can often be completed in a day, while larger gardens with multiple zones, deck lights and smart controls may take longer. Timescales depend on cable routing, surface types (lawns, beds, paving), and access to power. We plan the work to minimise disruption and leave the garden tidy each day.
In most cases, garden and driveway lighting is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if lighting could cause nuisance through glare or excessive brightness. We design schemes with controlled beam angles and appropriate brightness, and we’ll flag any likely issues early. If needed, we can help you check guidance relevant to your address.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as connections, cable routing and fitting security. Individual light fittings and control components may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we’ll confirm before installation. We test the system thoroughly on completion and explain how to use timers, sensors or smart controls. If a problem arises, we aim to diagnose quickly and resolve it with minimal disruption.
We can supply and install a wide range of options, including stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium path lights, warm-white uplighters for trees and walls, recessed deck lights, and discreet security lighting with PIR sensors. Feature lighting can include spike spots for planting or wall-mounted downlights for patios. Smart controls allow zoning, dimming and schedules from an app. We’ll help you choose fittings that suit your property style and avoid harsh glare.
