Evenings feel different when your garden is properly lit—paths are clear, steps are safer, and features stand out. We install outdoor lighting around CR7 homes, from neat front approaches near Thornton Heath station to larger rear gardens backing onto Grangewood Park. Whether you want discreet path lighting or bold feature lighting, we’ll plan a scheme that looks natural, not overdone. Every fitting is positioned to reduce glare and light spill.
Thornton Heath has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, often with narrow side access and long gardens. We’re used to working with existing brickwork, bay-fronted façades and mature planting that benefits from careful uplighting. If you’re updating a patio or deck, we can integrate deck lights and step lights so the space works year-round. For added peace of mind, security lighting can be aimed to protect entrances without dazzling neighbours.
We start with a site visit, discuss how you use the space, then map out beam angles, cable routes and switching options. Our team installs weatherproof fittings, safe cabling and reliable transformers, then tests and aims each light at dusk for the best effect. You’ll get a clear handover on controls and maintenance, plus workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Being five minutes away means quick follow-ups and ongoing support when you want to expand the scheme.
In the outdoor lighting Thornton Heath area, access can be tight and parking can be limited on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and cable runs carefully. Many gardens have mixed surfaces—paving, lawn and planted borders—so we select fixings and cable protection to suit. We also consider neighbouring properties and sightlines, keeping light spill under control. If any council-related constraints apply, we’ll flag them early and advise on compliant options.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most projects in Thornton Heath fall around £800–£3,000 depending on the number of fittings, cable routes and control options. As a guide, expect roughly £100–£500 per light installed, with higher costs for premium fittings, complex wiring, or smart controls and transformers. Security lights and simple path lights are often more economical, while feature uplighting and integrated deck lighting can increase the overall spend.
Outdoor lighting is usually installed in 1–2 days for an average front and back garden. Timescales depend on how many lights you choose, whether cables need to be concealed under paving or through planting beds, and if we’re integrating deck lights or step lights. We also allow time for aiming and testing at dusk so beam angles look right. Larger gardens or complex smart-control setups may take longer.
In most cases, domestic outdoor lighting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially when fittings are within your garden and not altering the building significantly. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if lights could cause nuisance to neighbours or road users. We’ll check the context during the survey and recommend suitable positions, brightness levels and controls to keep everything compliant and considerate.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as cable routing, connections and fitting security when used as intended. Individual light fittings and smart components also come with manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and model. We’ll explain what’s covered before installation and provide documentation at handover. If anything needs adjustment—like beam aiming or timer settings—we can return promptly.
We install a wide range of systems, including path lighting, uplighting for trees and walls, deck lights, security lighting and feature lighting for focal points. Popular finishes include stainless steel, anthracite and discreet black, with warm-white LEDs for a welcoming look. Smart controls can include PIR sensors, photocells, timers and app-based scheduling. We’ll help you choose brightness, beam angles and placement to suit your garden and budget.
