From Cheam Village to the quieter roads near Nonsuch Park, homeowners want entrance gates that look smart and work flawlessly every day. We design and install electric driveway gates that improve security, privacy and ease of access. Whether you need a discreet sliding gate for a tighter frontage or a classic swing gate for a wider drive, we tailor the layout to your property. We regularly work across SM2 and SM3, coordinating deliveries and access with minimal disruption.
Cheam’s mix of period cottages, 1930s houses and executive homes calls for gate designs that feel “right” for the architecture. For traditional façades, painted timber or framed wooden gates can match existing fencing and brickwork. For larger plots and modernised homes, powder-coated metal gates provide crisp lines and long-term durability. If you’re in North Cheam, Worcester Park or Ewell, we’ll advise on the best opening style for your driveway width and parking pattern.
Our process starts with a site survey, accurate measurements and a clear plan for power, safety edges and access control. We handle groundworks, posts, automation, and commissioning, then test thoroughly and show you how to use the system. You’ll get straightforward maintenance advice and a 10-year warranty for added confidence. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, dependable scheduling and gates that operate smoothly in all seasons.
Across the London Borough of Sutton, access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and installation times carefully. Cheam’s varied front gardens and drive gradients mean we check levels, drainage and hinge geometry before fabrication. Near busier routes and school-run times, we keep the site organised and safe, with clear walkways. We also consider conservation-area sensitivities around older homes and recommend sympathetic designs where needed.

For electric gates in the Cheam area, most homeowners budget £4,000–£7,000 for a quality supply-and-install package. Simpler setups can start around £2,500, while larger or more complex entrances can reach £10,000. Costs depend on gate size, sliding vs swing operation, materials (wood or metal), groundworks, power supply, and extras like intercom systems, keypad entry and multiple remote controls.
Most installations take 2–4 days from groundworks to final commissioning. Timing depends on whether new posts and foundations are required, the condition and level of the driveway, and how power is routed to the gate motors. Sliding gates can take longer if a new track or substantial base is needed. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep disruption to parking to a minimum.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, particularly when they sit within your boundary and meet typical height rules. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the gates front a highway and exceed certain heights. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Sutton before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation integrity, giving you long-term reassurance. This includes the fit of posts, hinges, fixings, alignment and the way the system is set up and commissioned. Gate automation components typically carry manufacturer warranties, which we register and explain clearly. We also show you safe operation and basic care to help prevent avoidable wear and call-outs.
We install sliding and swing gates in timber or metal, tailored to your property’s style and the space available. Popular choices include framed wooden gates for traditional homes, and powder-coated steel or aluminium designs for a cleaner, contemporary look. We can add intercom systems, keypad entry and multiple remote controls. We’ll help you choose a design that balances privacy, visibility, maintenance and the practicalities of your driveway.
