Better coverage

Better coverage

When an entrance, side path or gate is still awkward after dark, the first question is often coverage rather than just brightness.

Serving Brent, wider NW London, and selected West London postcodes. Send your postcode and 2–4 photos for a quick first answer.

Better coverage usually means getting useful light onto the part of the entrance, path or gate you actually use. The answer may be a better aimed fitting, calmer PIR setup, replacement on the existing point, or a broader quoted update if the current position cannot sensibly do the job.

What this usually means

Work out where useful light is missing: lock, step, gate, side return, bin path or short garden path.
Check whether the current fitting works but is aimed poorly, too weak, too glary or in the wrong position.
Decide whether the sensible next step is adjustment, like-for-like replacement, a different fitting or a wider quoted update.

What can change the scope

Clear photos matter because wall position, height, planting, glare, fences and nearby movement all affect what will actually work.
If there is no suitable outside point in the right place, the job may move beyond a straightforward small visit.
