Working in the London Borough of Sutton, we’re used to narrow roads, controlled parking and short drive approaches around Carshalton House and Wallington. We plan deliveries and installation days to minimise disruption and keep access safe. Ground conditions can vary between older garden walls and modern hardstanding, so we set posts and tracks to suit. We also consider visibility at the pavement edge and safe pedestrian entry points.

Most installations fall between £4,000 and £7,000, depending on size, materials and automation. As a guide, electric gates typically range from £2,500 to £10,000 for supply and installation. Sliding gates and heavier metalwork can increase costs, as can intercom systems, extra remotes, bespoke designs and new piers. We’ll survey your driveway and provide an itemised estimate based on your layout and requirements.
Electric gate installation usually takes 2–4 days from groundworks to commissioning. Timescales depend on whether we’re fitting new posts or piers, running power and data cables, and the complexity of the automation and safety devices. Sliding gates may require a track or cantilever setup, while swing gates can need careful hinge alignment. We’ll confirm the programme after the site survey and keep disruption to a minimum.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, especially when replacing existing gates or staying within typical height limits. However, rules can change depending on boundary position, visibility onto the highway, listed buildings, conservation considerations, or unusually tall piers and fencing. We’ll advise during the survey and, if needed, help you check requirements with the London Borough of Sutton before work starts. Safety compliance is always built into the installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation quality, giving you confidence that posts, fixings and finishes are built to last. Manufacturer warranties apply to gate motors, control boards, intercoms and remotes, and we’ll register and document these for you. We also commission and test safety features such as photocells and edges at handover. If anything needs adjustment, we offer prompt aftercare and servicing advice.
