Crystal Palace homes often combine character with busy streets and mixed parking, so a reliable automated entrance makes a real difference. We install electric gates across SE19 and SE20, including Upper Norwood and Anerley. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or close to the National Sports Centre, we’ll recommend a gate layout that improves access without compromising style. Choose from sliding or swing options with modern safety features.
Our team is used to working with Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions common around Gipsy Hill and Penge. These properties often have narrower driveways, shared boundaries, or sloping approaches, which affects the best gate type and motor strength. We match materials to the architecture—painted metal for classic railings, or timber for warmer, traditional frontages. Every installation is measured precisely to avoid scraping, binding, or awkward opening arcs.
We start with a site survey, discuss access needs, then provide a clear specification covering motors, safety edges and controls. Installation typically takes 2–4 days, including groundwork, posts, wiring and commissioning. You’ll get a full handover with user guidance for remotes and intercom systems, plus aftercare advice. Local homeowners choose us for neat finishes, dependable automation, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Crystal Palace spans the London Borough of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, so requirements and site constraints can vary street by street. We plan deliveries and installation around tighter roads, controlled parking and school-run traffic, keeping disruption low. Many plots sit on a hill, so we account for gradients, drainage and wind exposure when specifying motors and hinges. If approvals are needed, we’ll guide you through the relevant council expectations.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most electric gates in the Crystal Palace area fall between £2,500 and £10,000, with typical projects around £4,000–£7,000. Price depends on gate type (sliding or swing), size, materials (wooden or metal), and the automation kit. Groundworks, power supply, and extras like intercom systems, keypad entry or multiple remote controls can also affect the total.
Most installations take 2–4 days from start to commissioning. Timescales depend on groundwork complexity, existing driveway levels, and whether new posts, foundations or cable runs are required. Sliding gates can take longer if a track or cantilever system is needed, while swing gates may need careful hinge alignment on sloping drives. We confirm a schedule after the site survey and keep you updated daily.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, especially when replacing an existing gate or staying within typical height limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where gates front a highway and visibility is a concern. Because Crystal Palace crosses Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham, we check the relevant guidance for your exact address and advise before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our installation workmanship, including fixings, alignment and structural fitting. Manufacturer warranties apply to motors, control boards, intercoms and safety devices, and we register these where required. We also test and commission the system on completion, ensuring safe operation and correct force settings. If an issue arises, we offer clear aftercare support and can recommend servicing intervals.
We install wooden gates for a warm, traditional look, and metal gates for crisp lines and long-term durability. Popular choices include vertical slats, traditional spear-top railings, and solid privacy designs, with either sliding or swing operation. We can add intercom systems, keypad entry and multiple remote controls to suit household routines. During the survey, we help you choose a design that complements your property and fits the driveway layout.
