Colliers Wood has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern apartments, and each needs a different approach. Terraced homes often benefit from compact sliding gates to maximise parking space. Many 1930s semis suit swing gates with matching side panels and updated posts. Where access is shared or limited, we plan safe opening arcs, pedestrian access and clear sightlines from the road.
We start with a site survey, measurements and a clear recommendation on gate type, materials and automation. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with careful groundwork, precise alignment and full safety testing before handover. You’ll receive guidance on use and maintenance, plus documentation for the system installed. Local homeowners choose us for tidy working, dependable communication and long-lasting finishes.
We’re around 10 minutes from Colliers Wood, so surveys and follow-ups are quick to arrange.

Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most homeowners in SW19 budget between £2,500 and £10,000 depending on size, materials and automation. Typical projects in Colliers Wood fall around £4,000–£7,000 for a quality set of gates with safe controls. Sliding gates can cost more if groundwork and a track or cantilever system is needed, while swing gates may be simpler where space allows. Intercoms, smart access and bespoke metalwork can increase costs.
Most installations take 2–4 days from groundwork to commissioning, assuming access is straightforward and materials are ready. Timing depends on whether posts need replacing, the amount of cabling required, and whether you choose sliding gates (often more groundwork) or swing gates. We also allow time for accurate alignment, safety sensor setup and full testing. If you’re adding an intercom system, we schedule wiring and setup without delaying handover.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, especially when replacing existing gates or fencing within typical height limits. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the gates are unusually tall or close to a highway. We’ll discuss your layout during the survey and flag anything that may need permission or a quick check with Merton’s guidance. Safety requirements and visibility are always considered.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as fixings, alignment and structural fitting when used and maintained correctly. Automation components (motors, control boards, intercoms and remotes) are supplied with manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We explain what’s covered before work starts and provide handover notes for care and servicing. If anything needs adjustment after installation, we respond promptly.
We install sliding gates and swing gates in both timber and metal, tailored to your home’s style.

Options include solid panels for privacy, open railings for visibility, and matching pedestrian gates.
