Garden lighting in Greetham
Low-voltage garden lighting in Greetham, designed as one scheme and installed with the electrics certified.
A path, step and border lighting scheme typically costs up to about £1,500 installed, and a full multi-zone garden scheme £2,000–£6,000 or more. A new outdoor circuit is priced separately.

Garden lighting in Greetham: what is involved
We design and install low-voltage garden lighting: step and riser lights, uplighters on trees and walls, and soft light around seating, with the ducts laid as the patio is built and the electrics certified.
Greetham is a limestone village just west of the A1, with a historic core of stone cottages and farm buildings, later infill and estate housing, and Greetham Valley on its edge. Many drives here are being widened for more cars or replaced after decades of gravel.
We cover Greetham (LE15) and the villages around it, including Cottesmore, Stretton, Clipsham, Exton and Thistleton.
Ground and conservation in Greetham
Greetham sits on the Lincolnshire Limestone, which generally drains well, though Rutland's flood strategy names Greetham among the places with a few properties at river flood risk, so low-lying plots need more thought. Cables run in ducts laid below the paving and planting, so we bring the lighting in as the patio or garden is built in Greetham wherever we can.
Greetham has a conservation area and no Article 4 direction. Outside listed buildings, front driveways and walls follow normal permitted development, and stone-coloured materials suit the village.

Permissions in Greetham
- PlanningGarden lighting does not need planning permission, but a new outdoor mains circuit is notifiable electrical work, so it is done and certified by a registered electrician. Keep lights pointing down and away from neighbours' windows. Listed buildings and the Greetham conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed.
