From busy roads near East Croydon station to quieter streets around South Croydon, electric gates are a practical upgrade for privacy and access control.

Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments means no two driveways are the same. We plan gate positions around short set-backs, shared crossovers and sloping approaches, which are common across Addiscombe, Shirley and Sanderstead. For period homes, we can echo original railings or brick piers; for newer builds, we keep lines clean and minimal. The result is a gate system that looks intentional, not bolted on.
Our process starts with a site survey, measurements and a clear recommendation on swing vs sliding, then we confirm power, drainage and safety requirements. Installation is typically completed in 2–4 days, with careful cable routing and testing of all safety edges and photocells. We keep disruption low, protect paving and leave the area clean. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, dependable workmanship and a long-term warranty.
We’re based just 10 minutes away, so surveys and follow-up visits are easy to arrange. In the electric gates Croydon area, we often plan around limited on-street parking, narrow access and existing brick piers or boundary walls. We also take care to route services without disturbing established paving or planting. Where needed, we coordinate deliveries and installation times to minimise disruption on busier roads.

Most installations take 2–4 days, depending on whether you choose sliding or swing gates and how much groundwork is required. Timescales can increase if new posts or piers are needed, if power needs extending, or if the driveway surface requires careful lifting and reinstatement. We schedule delivery, excavation, cabling, fitting and commissioning in a logical order, then test safety features and controls before handover.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, especially when installed within your boundary and replacing an existing gate or fence line. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the gate height and position affects visibility near a highway. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise if you should check with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as fixings, alignment and finishes. Manufacturer warranties apply to the gate motors, control boards, safety edges, photocells and remote systems, with terms varying by brand and specification. We also commission and test the system properly, so it operates smoothly and safely from day one. Maintenance advice is included to help protect your investment.
