From CR4 family driveways near Mitcham Junction station to wider frontages by Mitcham Common, electric gates add privacy, safety and a smarter entrance. We install reliable automation with smooth opening, safe closing and straightforward access control. Whether you want a discreet upgrade or a statement frontage, we tailor the design to your layout. Expect clear advice on gate type, power options and day-to-day usability.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means no two entrances are the same. We regularly work with narrow side access, shared crossovers and sloping drives, designing gates that open cleanly without blocking pavements. Timber gates suit period homes around Mitcham Cricket Green, while powder-coated metal often complements newer builds in Eastfields. Our recommendations focus on durability, security and a finish that fits the property.
We start with a site survey, measure up, and confirm swing arcs or sliding runs before fabrication. Installation includes safe foundations, precise alignment, automation setup and testing of safety edges/photocells, plus handover training. You’ll get a written 10-year warranty on workmanship and clear guidance on maintenance. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (10 minutes away), punctual, and we leave driveways clean and usable each day.
We know the practicalities of fitting electric gates in London Borough of Merton, including parking constraints, school-run traffic and delivery access. In areas like Pollards Hill and Figges Marsh, drives can be short and boundaries tight, so we prioritise safe opening clearances and strong posts. Ground conditions vary from compacted clay to made-up front gardens, so we specify the right foundations. We also keep noise and disruption down, with clear timings agreed in advance.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For electric gates in the Mitcham area, most homeowners spend £4,000–£7,000 for a complete supply-and-install package. Simpler swing gates with basic controls can start around £2,500–£4,000, while larger sliding systems, premium timber/metalwork, intercoms and upgraded safety features can reach £7,000–£10,000. Costs depend on gate size, groundworks, power supply, automation brand and access constraints on your driveway.
Most installations take 2–4 days on site once the gates are ready, covering posts/foundations, fitting, automation, safety devices and commissioning. Timescales can extend if significant groundworks are needed, if the driveway is sloped, or if we’re running new power and cabling from the house. Sliding gates may require a longer track or cantilever setup, which can add time. We’ll confirm a schedule after the survey.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, particularly when replacing existing gates or adding gates within your boundary. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the gates exceed certain height limits next to a highway. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise what information to check with the London Borough of Merton before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as alignment, fixings, posts and general fitting. Automation components (motors, control boards, remotes and intercoms) are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand and specification. We’ll explain what’s included before you proceed and provide documentation at handover. We also show you basic maintenance steps to keep the system running smoothly.
You can choose sliding gates or swing gates in hardwood, treated softwood, or metal (often steel or aluminium with a durable powder-coated finish). Popular options include vertical slats for privacy, open railings for visibility, and mixed timber-and-metal designs for a contemporary look. We can integrate intercom systems, keypads and remote controls to suit your routine. After a site visit, we’ll recommend styles that match your home and driveway layout.
