Keston homeowners often want a smarter entrance without losing the village’s character. We design and install electric gates that look right on everything from lanes near Keston Common to larger plots around Keston Ponds. Whether you need a discreet sliding gate or traditional swing gates, we build for everyday reliability. We also integrate intercom systems and remote controls for simple access.
The Keston area includes period cottages, large detached houses and country homes with long driveways and mature boundaries. We regularly work across BR2, including nearby Hayes, Farnborough and Downe, tailoring layouts to existing walls, hedging and gradients. Timber gates can complement older properties, while powder-coated metal suits contemporary frontages. Every installation is measured to fit precisely and operate smoothly in all seasons.
Our process starts with a site survey, clear recommendations, and a written specification so you know exactly what’s included. We handle groundworks, safe cabling, automation setup, and careful finishing around paving and planting. Before handover, we test safety edges, photocells and manual release, then show you how to use and maintain the system. Local homeowners trust us for tidy working, dependable scheduling and a long warranty on workmanship.
Access in Keston can be narrow, with shared verges and limited on-street parking near busy walking routes. We plan deliveries, waste removal and installation days to minimise disruption, and we protect existing paving and brickwork. Ground conditions vary from established gardens to heavier soils near ponds, so we specify the right foundations and drainage where needed. If your entrance sits near a boundary wall or mature trees, we design around roots and sightlines.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most electric gate installations in Keston fall between £2,500 and £10,000, depending on size, materials and automation. Typical projects are £4,000–£7,000 for made-to-measure gates with a reliable motor, safety features and basic controls. Costs rise with heavier metalwork, long spans, complex groundworks, intercom systems, extra remotes, or bespoke finishes. A site survey helps confirm what’s suitable for your driveway.
Electric gate installation usually takes 2–4 days once the design and materials are confirmed. Straightforward replacements can be quicker, while new posts, foundations, or driveway alterations take longer. Timescales depend on ground conditions, cable runs, power supply location, and whether you choose sliding gates (often more groundwork) or swing gates. We’ll agree a clear schedule and keep access safe and practical throughout the work.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, especially when replacing existing gates or staying within typical height limits. However, rules can change if your entrance fronts a highway, visibility splays are affected, you’re in a conservation area, or the property is listed. We’ll advise during the survey and, where needed, help you check requirements with the London Borough of Bromley before installation so everything stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as posts, fixings, alignment and finishing. Gate automation components typically come with a manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand and specification, and we’ll confirm this in writing. We also commission and test safety systems on completion and explain basic maintenance to keep the gates running smoothly. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and diagnose the cause clearly.
We supply sliding gates and swing gates in timber or metal, with options to match modern or traditional properties. Popular choices include hardwood or treated softwood with vertical boards, and powder-coated steel or aluminium with simple rails or decorative detailing. We can add intercom systems, keypad entry and multiple remote controls. During the survey, we’ll recommend the best design for privacy, security, driveway width and the look of your home.
