Well-planned garden lighting changes how you use your outdoor space, especially on evenings near Streatham Common or after a late run along Streatham High Road. We install path lighting, uplighting and feature lighting that improves visibility without glare. Every scheme is designed around your planting, levels and sightlines, so the garden looks considered in daylight and at night. Expect tidy cabling routes, discreet fittings and a finish that complements your property.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and newer apartments often have narrow side returns, stepped entrances and long rear gardens that benefit from layered lighting. We regularly work across SW16 and SW2, balancing heritage features with modern performance. Period brickwork, bay windows and mature trees are ideal for uplighting, while terraces and balconies suit compact deck lights. The result is a scheme that feels appropriate to the building rather than bolted on.
We start with a site visit to map power options, cable routes and the lighting effect you want, then propose a clear layout and specification. Installation typically takes 1–2 days, with careful protection of lawns, borders and paving, plus full testing and aiming at dusk where possible. We use outdoor-rated components, neat junctions and safe isolation, and we’ll show you how to use any smart controls. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Access in Streatham Hill and Streatham Vale can be tight, so we plan deliveries and cable runs to minimise disruption. We’re used to mixed surfaces—Victorian garden paths, modern porcelain patios and older brick edging—and choose fittings and fixings accordingly. Where parking is limited, we schedule efficiently and keep materials compact and secure. For outdoor lighting in London Borough of Lambeth, we also consider neighbour sightlines and light spill to keep the scheme comfortable and compliant.

For outdoor lighting Streatham area projects, budget around £100–£500 per light installed, depending on the fitting type, wiring distance and controls. Many homeowners spend £800–£3,000 in total for a balanced scheme covering paths, a seating area and a couple of feature uplights. Costs rise with smart controls, longer cable routes, tricky access, or higher-end architectural fittings and transformers.
Most installations take 1–2 days, including setting out, cabling, fitting lights and testing. A small path-light run can be completed in a day, while larger gardens with multiple zones, deck lights and smart controls may need two days. Timescales depend on the number of lights, how easily we can route cables, whether we’re working around established planting, and if any repairs to paving or borders are required.
Outdoor garden lighting is usually permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for low-level fittings and standard security lights. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, flats with shared freeholds, or properties in conservation areas, and there may be considerations around glare and light spill. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and advise if you should check with Lambeth Council or your managing agent.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation quality such as cable routing, connections and fitting security. Individual light fittings and smart control components also come with manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll provide the paperwork and explain what’s covered, including how to look after lenses and seals. If a fault relates to installation, we’ll return to diagnose and put it right.
Popular options include stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium path lights, warm-white uplights for trees and brickwork, recessed deck lights, PIR security lighting, and feature spikes for borders. We can also add smart controls for timers, dimming and scene settings. We’ll help you choose colour temperature, beam angles and finishes that suit your garden and property style, then position lights to avoid glare and highlight key features.
