Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, larger detached homes and modern estates calls for flexible gate designs and careful setting-out. Narrower drives in St Mary Cray often benefit from sliding gates, while wider frontages in Farnborough can suit swing gates with generous leaf widths. We match materials and detailing to your property—painted metal for a crisp look, or timber for warmth and character. Every installation is measured precisely to avoid clashes with parked cars, paths and planting.
We start with a site survey, then confirm the gate type, power supply route, safety edges and access controls before any groundworks begin. Installation is planned to minimise disruption, with tidy cable runs and secure temporary access while we work. You’ll get clear handover guidance, maintenance advice and documentation for the motors and safety systems. Many clients choose us for electric gates orpington area because we turn up when we say we will and finish to a premium standard.
Across the London Borough of Bromley, driveways vary from level block paving to sloped approaches, so we set posts, tracks and stops to suit the fall. Parking and access can be tighter around BR5 and near The Walnuts Shopping Centre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for existing walls, piers and boundary lines common to 1930s plots. If needed, we’ll advise on drainage details and robust foundations for long-term stability—ideal for electric gates in London Borough of Bromley.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most electric gates in Orpington fall between £2,500 and £10,000 depending on size, materials and automation. Typical projects are £4,000–£7,000 for a quality gate set with motors, safety devices and basic controls. Sliding systems can cost more if a track, extra groundworks or longer runs are required. Intercoms, keypads and premium finishes will also affect the final figure.
Most installations take 2–4 days from groundworks to commissioning. The exact timescale depends on whether you choose sliding or swing gates, the condition of existing posts or piers, and how far we need to run power and control cables. Bespoke fabrication lead times are separate, but on-site work is usually completed within a few days. Poor weather or complex access can add time.
In many cases, electric gates can be installed under permitted development, particularly when replacing an existing boundary gate. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the gate height and position affect a highway or visibility. We’ll discuss the layout during the survey and flag any likely constraints. If permission or guidance is needed, we can help you gather the right details before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as fixings, alignment, foundations and cable routing. Manufacturer warranties apply to the gate motors, control boards and accessories, and we register these where required. At handover, we test safety features, demonstrate operation and provide maintenance guidance to protect performance. If an issue arises, we respond promptly and aim to resolve faults with minimal disruption.
We install wooden and metal electric gates in a range of styles, from traditional closeboard timber to modern slatted designs and powder-coated steel or aluminium. You can choose sliding gates for tighter driveways or swing gates for wider openings, with options like intercom systems, keypads and remote controls. We’ll advise on privacy, maintenance and how the design complements your house. During the survey, we’ll confirm clearances and recommend the best configuration.
