Garden Lighting and Electrics in Amersham

We design and install garden lighting in Amersham, from the Old Town and Amersham-on-the-Hill to Chesham Bois, Little Chalfont and Hyde Heath.

Gardens on the hill often step down from the house in levels, and step lights, low path lights and a lit seating area make the whole garden usable after dark.

We fit outdoor sockets, sensor lighting by the door and gate, and smart controls, all installed by qualified electricians.

In the Old Town, soft lighting that picks out brick, flint and planting suits the historic streets better than bright, modern fittings.

The Old Town, the Weller Estate and Elm Close are all conservation areas, and Amersham-on-the-Hill grew up after the railway arrived in 1892.

Lighting

Garden Lighting and Electrics

New garden lighting lets you use the garden long after sunset, and makes it look beautiful from inside the house. Most schemes mix a few of these.

  • Path and step lighting

    Low lights along a path and small lights set into steps or walls show the way and the edges, so you can walk the garden safely at night without glare.

  • Feature lighting

    Uplights at the foot of a tree, a wall washer across brickwork or a spotlight on a sculpture pick out the best parts of the garden after dark.

  • Decking and patio lighting

    Deck lights, step lights and soft wall lights around a patio or deck make the seating area warm and inviting, with the light kept low and out of your eyes.

  • Security and sensor lighting

    Sensor lights by the drive, side gate and back door come on as you arrive, and help you see who is there, without floodlighting the whole street.

  • Outdoor sockets

    Weatherproof outdoor sockets on the patio, by the pond or at the end of the garden, for mowers, water features, festoon lights and the outdoor kitchen.

  • Smart controls

    Timers, dusk sensors and smart controls you can use from your phone, with separate zones so you can light the patio without lighting the whole garden.

Design and install

Lighting Schemes, Planned and Installed

Good garden lighting is planned with the garden, not added at the end. We design the lighting scheme, lay the cables before the paving and planting go in, and finish with lights that suit how you use the space.

  1. Plan the schemeWe walk the garden with you, look at it from the house and mark what to light: paths, steps, the seating area and a few features.
  2. Lay the cablesArmoured cable runs underground at a safe depth, ideally while the patio, deck or borders are being built.
  3. Fit the lightsWarm, weatherproof fittings, placed to light the ground and the features rather than the sky.
  4. Test and certifyThe electrical installation is carried out and tested by qualified electricians, with outdoor circuits protected as the wiring regulations require.
  5. Set the controlsTimers, sensors or smart controls, set up so the lights come on when you want them.

FAQ

Garden Lighting Questions from Amersham

Can you light a long Amersham garden?

Yes. Low path lights lead the way down the garden, with feature lighting at the far end to draw the eye after dark.

Can I add garden lighting on the Weller Estate?

Yes. Lighting in the back garden is usually fine. At the front, in the conservation area, we keep it warm, low and discreet.

Do you install garden lighting in the villages around Amersham?

Yes. As well as Amersham itself, we cover Old Amersham, Amersham-on-the-Hill, Amersham Common, Woodside, Chesham Bois, Coleshill, Shardeloes, Hyde Heath, Little Chalfont and Little Missenden, and the rest of the HP6 and HP7 postcode areas.

How long does it take to install garden lighting in Amersham?

It depends on the size of the scheme, how far the cables run and whether the garden is being built at the same time. Once we have planned the scheme, your quote includes a timescale, so you know how long we will be on site.

Are your garden electrics installed by qualified electricians?

Yes. Every electrical installation is carried out and tested by qualified electricians, with outdoor circuits protected as the wiring regulations require.

Can I control my garden lights from my phone?

Yes. We can fit smart controls you use from your phone, as well as timers and dusk sensors, with separate zones for the patio, paths and features. See smart controls above.

Can you run power to a garden room or shed?

Yes. We run armoured cable underground to garden rooms, sheds and outbuildings, for lights, sockets and heating.

Will garden lighting bother the neighbours?

Not if it is planned well. Warm, low-level lights that point down and away from windows light your garden without spilling into theirs.

How much does garden lighting cost in Amersham?

It depends on the number of lights, how far the cables run and the controls you choose. We need to see the garden before we can give you a price, so we offer a free, no-obligation quote. Call 01494 812249 or use the form at the top of the page.
