### Why Professional Installation Matters
Outdoor Christmas lights mean **ladders, heights, electrical work in December weather**. This is where accidents happen with DIY attempts, and where displays end up looking wonky or not working by mid-December.

Good to Know
> 🎅 **Installation timing:** Early December is ideal - properly festive but not crazy early. Book late November because December weekends fill fast. Everyone wants lights up first week of December. **Takedown service** - book both installation and takedown at same time. I'll come back early January, remove everything, coil lights properly for storage. Means they'll work perfectly next year. **Bungalows vs two-storey** - bungalows are quicker and easier (lower gutters), so usually cheaper. Two-storey houses with multiple rooflines take longer. **Older Exeter houses** often have fragile gutters or tiles. I'm careful with period properties - using proper clips and no damage to original features. **Inflatable decorations** need securing properly - Devon wind will have them halfway to Exmouth otherwise. I'll weight or stake everything that could blow away. **Competing with the neighbours?** Some streets really go for it. I can help you join the festive arms race professionally!
Frequently Asked Questions about Outdoor Christmas decoration setup in Teignmouth
What does outdoor Christmas decoration setup include?
I'll install your outdoor Christmas lights - roof line, gutters, trees, bushes, wherever you want them. Set up any outdoor decorations like inflatables, wooden displays, wreaths, or light-up figures. All wired safely back to outdoor sockets with weatherproof connections, tested working before I leave.
Is it safe to put Christmas lights on my roof and gutters?
Yes when done properly. I use proper gutter clips that don't damage anything, work safely from ladders, and ensure all connections are weatherproof and outdoor-rated. The actual risk is DIY installation from wobbly ladders - that's where accidents happen.
Do you provide the lights and decorations or use mine?
I use yours. You choose the style, colours, and how elaborate you want your display. I make sure it all goes up safely and works reliably through December's weather.
Can you take them down in January as well?
Yes - most people book takedown when I'm installing them. Set both dates at once, saves calling back in January when you can't be bothered. Takedown is usually quicker, around £60-85 depending on size.
How long does a full outdoor Christmas light setup take?
Average house with lights along the front gutters and maybe a tree is about 1.5-2 hours. Bigger displays covering multiple roof lines, lots of trees, elaborate decorations can be 3-4 hours. I'll give you a better estimate once I see your house and what you're planning.
