A walk-through booked for after dark

Enquiries about lighting arrive in the evening, which is the only time anyone thinks about it. The page offers the evenings you work.

Smart scheduling

Working hours that follow the sunset

The light goes at four in December and not until half nine in June. Move the evenings you work and every open slot moves with them.

The appointment is dusk, and dusk moves.

The work cannot be shown in daylight, and nobody signs off a garden they have not seen lit. Two usable hours, walking across the year.

  • Evenings are the working day

    Set the hours the work actually happens in, override the weeks that do not follow, and four in the afternoon is never offered again.

  • Drag the week onto the new dark

    As sunset moves, pull the walk-throughs later. The address, the scheme and the notes go with them; only the time changes.

  • Free on any plan

    Moving work about the calendar was never going to be the part anyone paid for.

One garden, quoted at three depths.

The path and the steps. Add the borders and the silver birch. Add the terrace, the pergola and a wash up the front elevation. One document.

  • Priced off the fitting count

    Uplights, path lights and markers each take a line and a quantity, so the larger scheme is a larger number rather than a fresh quote.

  • The transformer sets the ceiling

    Spare load sits on the estimate where the customer can see it, which is quietly what sells the second zone two summers later.

  • Accepted late, from indoors

    They accept online by typing their name, usually the evening after standing in the garden watching the thing come on.

  • Tiered options come with Pro

    Tiered options come with Pro, so the modest scheme and the ambitious one sit side by side and the customer moves up a tier without being asked to. Cash and bank transfer remain free on any plan.

Six dark evenings, and they go.

A trade that can only be demonstrated after dark runs out of evenings a long time before it runs out of people asking for one.

  • The enquiry still arrives

    With nothing free the page asks rather than closing, and the request turns up with photographs of the garden already attached.

  • Offer a fortnight, not a night

    People will wait to have a garden lit properly. They would merely like to know which week you expect to reach them.

Saw the house on the corner lit up last night. Could you come and walk ours after dark?

Built for work you can only see at night

Built for every kind of scheme

Path and step lighting

Priced by the fitting count, so ten path lights and a run of step lights read as two lines rather than a figure taken on trust.

Uplighting a silver birch

A spike, a cable run and a lamp choice, quoted per tree. Adding the box hedge later is one more line on the same estimate.

Terrace and pergola lighting

The tier most people climb to, sitting on the same document as the paths so the comparison is theirs to make rather than yours to sell.

Front elevation wash

The job the neighbours ask about. Photographed lit and kept on the property record, it quotes the rest of the street for you.

Buried SWA run and transformer

The notifiable leg, held as its own line on the estimate and its own note on the job, so the certificate is easy to place afterwards.

Gravel drive and gatepost markers

A long run priced by the marker count, and the sort of tidy evening job that fills a gap in a week that had one.

Festoon over a terrace

A short install that books itself online at the price shown, with no call and no visit before you arrive with the spool.

Halogen-to-LED changeover

Priced per fitting against the scheme already in the ground, because your original install is still sitting on the customer record.

Lamp-out and re-aim visit

Half an hour that only pays near a garden you are lighting tonight. Pro ranks the open evenings by the driving each one adds.

Christmas lighting and takedown

Two bookings on one standing arrangement, with the January takedown in the diary before the install is finished.

The property remembers what you put in it.

The lamps, the transformer rating, the route the cable took and the photographs of it lit all stay on the record, so the call about adding a zone two summers later is quoted from the file instead of another night on site.

Seen at nine, accepted by ten.

This sale is emotional and it is visual, and it never closes in an office. Send the scheme before you drive off, and it is read, compared and accepted by typing a name while the garden is still on outside the window.

How far you will drive into the dark.

A demonstration costs an evening rather than an hour, so where you will go matters rather more here than in a daylight trade.

Pro

A lamp out, on a night you are out anyway.

Three dead fittings only pay if they sit near tonight. Pro scores the open evenings on the driving each one would add to the run.

  • Ranked, not rearranged

    You still choose the evening. The ranking merely lifts the slots near where the van is already going.

  • Small work that pays

    A blown lamp, a re-aim after the hedge grew and a timer reset are what turn half an empty evening into a paid one.

  • The ranking is the Pro part

    The calendar, the bookings and moving them about are not.

A new job being assigned, with three open slots ranked by how much travel each one adds to the day. The slot that adds the least is marked best.

Paid the night it is switched on.

You are standing in a lit garden with the customer beside you, which is as good as the moment for asking for the balance will get.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark it paid by hand and the receipt sees itself out, with no plan involved anywhere in the process.

  • Cards come with Pro

    A payment request from the drive, for the customer who would sooner tap than go hunting for their account details.

  • Staged, after the booking

    Pro splits a larger scheme into a leg at the trenching and the balance at handover. It happens on the job, not at a checkout.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your outdoor lighting business.

Scheduling

The only stage you have is after sunset. Set the evenings you work month by month, and daylight stops appearing as an available slot.

Estimates

Paths only, paths and borders, or the terrace and elevation as well. Three schemes on one document, climbed without anyone being pushed.

Online booking

The enquiry lands at ten, once the terrace has gone dark and somebody has noticed. The page takes the walk-through while they still care.

Bookings

The booking holds the transformer, the route of the buried run and the fitting count, so the van leaves with the right drum on board.

Customers

What went in, how deep it is buried and how much load the transformer has spare stays on the property, ready for the next quote.

Territories

Two hours of usable dark is what an evening buys. Mark the ground worth crossing for it; past the line, the work has to ask first.

Team

Whoever is pulling cable sees the address and the start time for the evenings they are on, and none of what the scheme is worth.

Inbox

The homeowner adding the borders and the landscaper asking where the run crosses keep separate threads, filed against the same install.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand cost nothing. Cards come with Pro, as does a leg at the trenching and the balance at handover.

Common questions.

A new outdoor circuit in a dwelling is notifiable under Part P, discharged either by an installer registered with a competent person scheme self-certifying or by notifying building control, with an Electrical Installation Certificate to BS 7671 at the end. A plug-in transformer feeding 12V fittings is a different animal entirely.

It does not need to. It books, quotes and records both, and the certified leg is a line on the estimate and a note on the job like anything else you would want to find again in two years.

Yes. Tiered options put the path-only scheme, the borders and the full terrace and elevation on one document, and the customer chooses a tier at the moment of accepting. Options come with Pro.

Weekly hours are set per person, with single-day and date-range overrides. Set the evenings and nothing in daylight is ever offered, whatever the season is doing to sunset.

The property keeps its own record with your notes and photographs, so the depth of the buried run, the transformer rating and the lamps are all there when the extension gets lit two years on.

The Free plan carries a monthly booking allowance and asks for no card, and recording cash or a bank transfer by hand costs nothing on it. Cards are the part that comes with Pro.
