Putting up outdoor Christmas lights on houses — rooflines, gutters, window frames, porches, doorways, hedges, trees and garden features — with a plug-in timer if you want one. In January we come back, take it all down, coil it up and box it for next year. Installation and take-down are two separate jobs and are priced separately.
Who it's for
Homeowners who'd rather not be up a ladder in December, and small shops or cafés in the area wanting a tidy seasonal frontage.
When you need it
Most people book the fitting from mid-November to early December, and the take-down in the first couple of weeks of January. Dates go quickly, so it's worth asking early.
Why professional help matters
It's cold, wet, awkward work at height, and most people would rather not be doing it in December. We'll fit it, look after it through the season and come back for it in January.
Small problems don't staysmall for long.
Most of the expensive repairs we see started as cheap ones that got ignored. Here's what we typically see — and what to look out for.
-
Ladder work in winter
Frost, wind and wet ground make December an awkward time to be working at height. If you'd rather not do it, we will.
-
Working out how it fits
Every house is different — roofline, gutters, window frames and trees all need a sensible fixing method. We'll agree that with you before anything goes up.
-
Displays that fail mid-season
Indoor lights used outside and unprotected joins tend to give up in the first heavy rain. We fit outdoor-rated kit and keep joins off the ground and covered.
-
Lights still up in March
Nobody wants the take-down job. We'll book a January date with you when we fit them.
From first call tofinished job.
- 01
Send photos of the house
A couple of pictures from the pavement and a rough idea of what you want is usually enough for a ballpark price.
- 02
Have a look round
We check the frontage, the runs, and where the power is, and agree what's getting lit.
- 03
Two prices in writing
One price for the installation, one for the January take-down, so you know both up front.
- 04
Installation day
Usually one visit. Lights fitted, runs levelled, cables routed out of the way, timer set.
- 05
Through the season
If something stops working, give us a call and we'll sort a time to come back and look at it.
- 06
January take-down
Everything comes down, gets coiled and boxed, and fixings come off. Charged as a separate job.
The benefits, inplain English.
No vague claims — just the practical things you'll actually notice.
-
No ladders for you
We do the height work, in the cold, so you don't have to.
-
Tidy finish
Runs set out evenly and cables routed out of the way rather than left trailing.
-
Take-down sorted
We book the January date in when we fit them, so it doesn't get forgotten. It's charged separately.
-
Insured
Public liability cover for work at height on your property.
What's actuallyinvolved.
Here's what a typical house Christmas lighting job in Newport or Cwmbran involves, from first look to the box in the loft.
Roofline & gutter runs
Icicle and string runs along gutter lips and fascia edges, set out so the spacing stays even across the frontage.
Windows, porches & doorways
Window frames outlined, porches wrapped, and wreaths or garlands hung on doors and canopies with removable fixings.
Trees, hedges & garden features
Trunk wraps, hedge draping and low-level garden spikes — handy where roof access is limited or you want a softer look.
Power, timers & safety
Outdoor-rated lights, joins kept covered and off the ground, cable routed away from walkways, and a plug-in timer or dusk sensor if you'd like one.
Your lights or ours
Happy to fit lights you already own if they're outdoor-rated and in safe condition. If you'd rather buy new, we can give you a rough idea of lengths and quantities first.
Take-down, checking & storage
In January it all comes down, gets looked over for damage, coiled or boxed and left wherever you store it — loft, garage or shed. This is quoted as its own job.
Residential vs commercial
We'll also do small shopfronts locally — cafés, salons and the like — fitted outside trading hours where needed, with the same separate January take-down.
Honest pricing,written down.
