Fine Landscaping designs and installs automated gates that improve security, privacy and kerb appeal across SE13 and nearby streets. If you’re close to Lewisham station or passing Lewisham Shopping Centre daily, a reliable gate system can make arrivals and departures quicker and safer. We fit sliding and swing gates with modern safety features, intercom systems and dependable remote controls. Every installation is tailored to your driveway width, gradients and sightlines.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments means no two entrances are the same. In areas such as Ladywell and Hither Green, we often work with tighter frontages, shared access points and short set-backs from the pavement. We can match period brickwork and railings with traditional metalwork, or soften modern plots with timber gates and clean-lined automation. The result is a gate that suits the property, not a one-size-fits-all kit.
We start with a site survey, measure clear openings, check power options and confirm the safest opening direction. You’ll receive a clear specification covering gate type, motors, safety edges/photocells and access control. Our installers work efficiently, keep disruption down, and test the system thoroughly before handover. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and a long-term approach to reliability.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, access can be constrained by on-street parking and narrow approaches, especially near transport routes. We plan deliveries and installation around local traffic patterns and keep the site secure and tidy. Drainage and levels vary near the River Ravensbourne, so we pay close attention to thresholds, falls and foundations for smooth gate travel. Our designs also suit local property styles, from period façades to newer developments.

For electric gates Lewisham area homeowners typically budget £4,000–£7,000 for a made-to-measure system, with overall projects commonly ranging from £2,500 to £10,000. Costs depend on gate size, whether you choose sliding or swing operation, materials (wooden vs metal), groundworks, and the level of access control such as intercoms, keypads and additional remotes. We provide a detailed specification after a site survey.
Most installations take 2–4 days from groundwork to commissioning, assuming access is straightforward and materials are ready. Timescales vary with the type of gate (sliding tracks and foundations can take longer), the need for new posts or piers, and any electrical works such as running power safely to the gate. Weather, curing time for concrete, and restricted access on busy roads can also affect the schedule.
In many cases, electric gates can be installed under permitted development, particularly when they replace an existing gate or sit within typical height limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or where visibility and highway safety are affected. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey and advise if you should check with the London Borough of Lewisham or submit an application. Safety compliance is always built into the design.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the installation, covering issues caused by fitting, alignment and construction. Individual components such as motors, control boards and intercom systems are also supplied with manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We explain what’s covered, how to maintain the system, and what to do if a fault occurs. Regular servicing helps extend lifespan and keeps operation smooth.
You can choose sliding gates or swing gates in wooden or metal finishes, with designs ranging from traditional vertical bars to contemporary slatted timber. Popular upgrades include intercom systems, keypad entry, vehicle sensors and extra remote controls for family members. We’ll help you select a style that matches your home and boundary treatment, then confirm practical details like privacy, wind loading, and the best opening method for your driveway.
