A well-planned lighting scheme transforms how you use your garden after dark, whether you’re walking in from West Wickham High Street or entertaining at home. We install discreet path lighting, feature uplighting and practical security lighting that looks good in daylight too. Homeowners across BR4 choose us for tidy cabling, neat finishes and lighting that feels intentional rather than harsh. We can also add smart controls so you can set scenes and schedules from your phone.
West Wickham’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and newer developments often benefits from layered lighting: low-level guidance along side returns, uplights for mature planting, and deck lights for seating areas. Properties near Coney Hall and Spring Park frequently have longer gardens and established borders, ideal for feature lighting without glare. We tailor beam angles and colour temperature to suit brickwork, render and timber details. The result is a scheme that complements the house and improves kerb appeal.
We start with a site visit and night-time priorities: access routes, seating zones, steps, and sightlines from key windows. Then we propose a clear layout, fixture options and cable routes before installation, typically completed in 1–2 days. Every system is tested, aimed and adjusted on completion, with guidance on timers and smart scenes. Local homeowners trust us for careful workmanship, reliable communication and a finish that stays looking premium.
We’re used to the access and parking realities around BR4, including tighter drives and shared side passages common on 1930s plots. In the outdoor lighting West Wickham area, we plan cable routes to minimise disruption to lawns, borders and existing paving. We also consider boundary lines and neighbouring windows, aiming fittings to reduce spill and keep things comfortable. Where needed, we’ll advise on placement to stay aligned with expectations in the London Borough of Bromley.

For outdoor lighting in West Wickham, budget around £100–£500 per light installed, depending on the fitting type and cabling complexity. Most homeowners spend roughly £800–£3,000 for a complete scheme covering paths, steps, feature areas and a few security points. Costs vary with the number of lights, smart controls, power supply location and whether we’re working around existing paving or planting.
Most installations take 1–2 days, depending on how many lights are being fitted and how easily we can run cables. A simple path and patio setup can often be completed in a day, while larger gardens or schemes with multiple zones and smart controls may take longer. Existing hard landscaping, the distance to the power source, and any careful work around mature planting can also affect timescales.
Outdoor lighting is usually permitted for residential gardens, so planning permission isn’t typically required. However, there can be considerations for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if fittings are mounted high on elevations and could affect neighbours. We’ll discuss positioning, brightness and angles to reduce light spill and nuisance. If any approvals or restrictions may apply in the London Borough of Bromley, we’ll flag them early.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as cable routing, connections and fitting stability. Individual light fittings and transformers may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we’ll confirm before you choose products. If a problem arises, we’ll diagnose whether it’s a component fault or an installation issue and arrange the appropriate fix. We also show you how to use controls correctly to avoid avoidable failures.
Popular choices include stainless steel or powder-coated aluminium bollards for paths, recessed deck lights, spike spots for borders, wall lights for entrances, and discreet uplighters for trees and brickwork. We’ll help you choose warm or neutral colour temperatures, beam angles and brightness levels to suit your garden’s layout. You can also add smart controls for scenes and timers. We balance aesthetics, durability and maintenance so the scheme works year-round.
