Garden lighting in Weldon: 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.
Weldon is an old stone village on the east side of Corby, famous for Weldon stone, the limestone quarried here for centuries. Its historic centre of stone houses is surrounded by later estates that now join it to Corby.
We cover Weldon (NN17) and the villages around it, including Great Oakley, Little Oakley, Deene, Brigstock and Stanion.
Ground and conservation in Weldon
Weldon sits over the limestone and ironstone that were quarried here, and ground can change from natural rock to clay or fill within a garden. The Willow Brook runs past the village, so drainage needs designing rather than assuming. Cables run in ducts laid below the paving and planting, so we bring the lighting in as the patio or garden is built in Weldon wherever we can.
Weldon has a conservation area covering the historic village, appraised in 2009. North Northamptonshire has no Article 4 direction in Weldon affecting driveways, porches or extensions.

Keep lights pointing down and away from neighbours' windows. Listed buildings and the Weldon conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed.
