If your driveway meets a busy route like Purley Way or sits close to Purley Cross, electric gates can make daily access safer and far more controlled. We design and install sliding and swing systems that suit your entrance width, gradient and sightlines. From discreet intercoms to reliable remote controls, every setup is tailored to how you use your home. Expect a clean, tidy installation with security and convenience built in.
Purley’s large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes often have generous frontages that benefit from well-proportioned gates. We regularly work across CR8 and nearby Kenley, Sanderstead and Coulsdon, matching materials and detailing to existing brickwork, railings and boundary walls. Timber gates can soften traditional façades, while metal designs complement contemporary extensions and modernised driveways. We also account for tighter side access and shared crossovers common on older plots.
We start with a site survey, then confirm gate type, automation, safety edges and access control before installation. Our team handles groundworks, posts, cabling, motors and commissioning, then shows you exactly how to use and maintain the system. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, punctual scheduling and robust workmanship. Every installation is backed by a 10-year warranty for long-term confidence.
We know the access challenges around Purley Oaks and the wider London Borough of Croydon, including narrow pavements, on-street parking and busy school-run traffic. Ground levels can vary near Riddlesdown, so we assess gradients and drainage before choosing sliding tracks or swing clearances. We plan deliveries and installation to minimise disruption, and we keep boundaries tidy throughout. Our base is around 15 minutes away, so aftercare is quick and reliable.

For electric gates in the Purley area, most homeowners budget £2,500–£10,000 depending on size, materials and automation. Typical projects fall around £4,000–£7,000 for a quality sliding or swing gate with reliable motors and safety devices. Intercom systems, premium finishes, bespoke metalwork, complex groundworks or long cable runs can increase costs. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most installations take 2–4 days once the design and materials are confirmed. Timing depends on whether new posts or piers are needed, the condition of the driveway surface, and how far power needs to be run for the motors and controls. Sliding gates can require additional groundwork for tracks, while swing gates may need stronger foundations for hinges. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep disruption minimal.
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 property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the gates and piers significantly alter the street scene. There are also safety and visibility considerations near highways. We’ll advise on likely requirements and can help you check with the London Borough of Croydon before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation quality such as fixings, alignment, foundations and structural integrity. Automation components like motors, control boards and intercom equipment are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll explain what’s included for your chosen system and provide documentation on completion. Regular servicing helps maintain smooth operation and long-term reliability.
We install sliding and swing gates in timber or metal, with designs ranging from solid privacy gates to open-bar styles for visibility. Popular choices include hardwood or treated softwood with vertical boarding, powder-coated steel for a crisp modern look, and classic wrought-style metalwork for period homes. Add-ons include intercom systems, keypad entry and remote controls. We’ll recommend proportions, finishes and access control to suit your driveway and façade.
