Brixton homeowners want security that suits the street scene as much as it protects it. From busy routes near Brixton Market and Windrush Square to quieter roads off Brixton Hill, electric gates add controlled access without compromising style. We design and install sliding and swing systems that work reliably day to day. Expect a clean finish, discreet cabling and easy-to-use controls.
We regularly work across SW2 and SW9, fitting gates to Victorian terraces with narrow frontages, Georgian houses with traditional brick piers, and modern developments with shared access considerations. In streets where driveways are short, a sliding gate can maximise usable space. Where there’s room to open inwards, swing gates give a classic look that suits period homes. We match materials and detailing to your property’s character and boundary lines.
Our process starts with a site survey, measurements and a discussion about access, safety and preferred operation. We then specify the right motor, safety edges and photocells, plus intercom systems and remote controls if required. Installation typically takes 2–4 days, with clear communication on power requirements and groundworks. Local clients choose us for tidy workmanship, dependable aftercare and a straightforward 10-year warranty.
The Brixton area includes busy streets, restricted parking and varied frontage widths, so we plan deliveries and installation carefully. We’re used to working around Victorian boundary walls and existing brick piers, strengthening or rebuilding where needed. For electric gates in London Borough of Lambeth, we also consider visibility, pedestrian routes and safe gate swing/slide paths. If access is tight in Stockwell, Herne Hill or Tulse Hill, we’ll recommend the most practical layout first.

For electric gates brixton area projects, most homeowners budget £2,500–£10,000 depending on size, materials and automation. Typical installations come in around £4,000–£7,000 for a quality motor, safety features and professional fitting. Costs rise with bespoke metalwork, complex groundworks, long runs of cabling, or added extras such as intercom systems and multiple remote controls. We’ll confirm options after a site survey.
Most installations take 2–4 days once the design and materials are agreed. A straightforward swing gate on existing solid posts can be quicker, while sliding gates may take longer if a new track, concrete base or drainage adjustments are needed. Timescales also depend on power supply location, access for deliveries, and whether we’re replacing old gates. We’ll give a clear schedule before work starts.
In many cases, electric gates can be installed under permitted development, particularly when replacing existing gates and staying within typical height limits. However, rules can differ for properties on certain roads, flats with shared access, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can advise what to check with Lambeth Council before installation, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our electric gate installations, covering workmanship and the structural integrity of the installed system. Automation components such as motors, control boards and safety devices are covered in line with the manufacturer’s warranty terms, and we’ll explain what applies to your chosen kit. We also test safety features on completion and show you how to operate and maintain the gates for long-term reliability.
You can choose from sliding gates or swing gates in timber or metal, with designs ranging from traditional vertical boards to contemporary slatted styles.

We can add intercom systems, keypad entry and remote controls to suit your routine. We’ll recommend a design based on space, privacy needs and your property’s frontage.
