FAQs
Lighting & Irrigation in Reigate: FAQs
Do you provide lighting & irrigation across all of Reigate?
Yes, we cover the RH2 postcode area in full, including Woodhatch, Reigate Heath, Meadvale, Wray Park, Colley.
Is low-voltage garden lighting safe to install outdoors?
Yes — low-voltage systems run through a transformer that steps mains power down to a safe outdoor voltage, which is why they're the standard approach for garden lighting rather than running mains-voltage cable to individual fittings.
Can irrigation be set up to water automatically while I'm away?
Yes. A timer or smart controller can run watering zones on a set schedule, and smart controllers can also adjust for rainfall or be controlled remotely, which is useful for holidays or busy periods.
Does the Surrey Hills National Landscape designation affect extensions in Reigate?
For properties within the designated area, additional weight is given to landscape character and visual impact in planning decisions. We check whether your property falls within the boundary during feasibility.
