The borough has a strong stock of 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses across Cheam, North Cheam and Belmont, alongside Victorian and Edwardian houses in the older parts of Carshalton and Wallington.

Planning considerations
Sutton Council (London Borough of Sutton) is the local planning authority.

FAQs
Lighting & Irrigation in Sutton: FAQs
Do you provide lighting & irrigation across all of Sutton?
Yes, we cover the SM1, SM2, SM3, SM5 and SM6 postcode areas in full, including Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington, Belmont, North Cheam.
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.
Do you cover Carshalton and Wallington as well as Sutton town centre?
Yes, we work across the SM1, SM2, SM3, SM5 and SM6 postcode areas, including Sutton town centre, Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington and Belmont.
