Evenings around Tooting Broadway station and Tooting Market don’t have to mean a dark garden at home. We design and install outdoor lighting that improves safety, highlights planting, and makes patios and paths easier to use. Choose from path lighting, feature lighting, deck lights and discreet security lighting. Every layout is planned to avoid glare and create a warm, welcoming feel.
The Tooting area is known for Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, often with narrow side returns and long rear gardens. We plan lighting routes that respect period brickwork, original paving and mature borders, keeping cabling tidy and protected. Whether you’re in Tooting Bec, Furzedown or near Tooting Bec Common, we tailor beam angles and brightness to your garden’s proportions. The result is lighting that looks considered, not overdone.
We start with a site visit to map key sightlines, trip hazards and focal points, then propose a lighting plan with fitting options and positions. Installation is typically completed in 1–2 days, with neat trenching, safe connections and clear handover guidance for smart controls. We use quality, low-voltage systems where appropriate and test everything before we leave. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a finish that lasts.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many SW17 gardens have compact side passages and shared boundaries, so we route cables to minimise disruption and protect neighbouring fences and planting. We also consider light spill in closely spaced terraces and mansion blocks, aiming for controlled beams and sensible brightness. Where needed, we can coordinate with your electrician or manage the full electrical sign-off.

For Outdoor Lighting in Tooting, most fittings are £100–£500 per light installed, depending on the type (path, uplight, deck or security) and the cabling run. Typical projects for SW17 homes come in around £800–£3,000 for a cohesive scheme across paths, patio and key features. Costs vary with the number of lights, smart controls, access, and whether new power feeds are required.
Most outdoor lighting installs take 1–2 days, depending on the number of fittings and how complex the cabling routes are. A simple path lighting run with a few uplights can often be completed in a day, while larger gardens or multi-zone smart controls may take longer. Timescales are affected by access through side returns, the need to lift and relay paving, and whether any electrical upgrades are required.
Outdoor lighting is usually permitted for UK homes and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s classed as a minor garden installation. However, there can be extra considerations for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re adding prominent fixtures to a front elevation. In the London Borough of Wandsworth we also take care to avoid nuisance light spill to neighbours and highways. We’ll check constraints during the survey and advise before work starts.
We back our outdoor lighting installations with a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues caused by installation faults such as cable routing, connections and fixing points. Individual fittings and transformers typically carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll provide product documentation and explain what’s covered. If a problem arises, we prioritise local call-outs and aim to diagnose quickly, including checks on timers and smart controls.
We offer a range of styles to suit Victorian terraces and modern conversions, from discreet black or stainless-steel bollards to recessed deck lights and adjustable spike uplighters. Popular options include warm-white LEDs, shielded fittings to reduce glare, PIR security lighting, and smart controls for scenes and schedules. We’ll help you choose beam angles, brightness and placement based on what you want to highlight—paths, planting, brickwork or seating areas—while keeping the look cohesive.
