From CR2 family homes near Sanderstead Recreation Ground to larger plots towards Purley, electric gates add privacy, safety and a strong first impression. Fine Landscaping supplies and installs sliding and swing gates with dependable automation. Choose wooden gates for warmth or metal gates for a sharper, contemporary look. We can also integrate intercom systems and remote controls to make access simple for the whole household.
Sanderstead is known for executive homes, large detached houses and character period properties, often with wide driveways and mature planting. We design gate layouts that work with existing walls, piers and levels, while keeping sightlines safe for vehicles. For properties bordering green spaces such as Sanderstead Plantation, we’ll also consider wind exposure and leaf fall when specifying motors and track systems. The result is a gate that looks right and performs reliably year-round.
We start with a site survey, confirm opening widths, power supply options and the best automation type, then provide a clear specification. Installation typically takes 2–4 days, including safe setting-out, robust foundations and careful commissioning of safety features. You’ll get straightforward handover guidance for remotes, intercom and manual release. Local homeowners choose us for clean workmanship, dependable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, access and parking can vary from long private drives to tighter frontages on residential roads. We plan deliveries, waste removal and on-site storage to minimise disruption and keep pavements clear. Ground conditions in CR2 often require properly sized footings for gate posts and motor bases, especially on sloping drives. We also design openings and safety edges with local traffic visibility and pedestrian use in mind.

Most electric gate installations in Sanderstead fall between £2,500 and £10,000, depending on size, materials and automation. Typical projects are £4,000–£7,000 for a well-specified sliding or swing gate with safe controls. Costs rise with bespoke metalwork, hardwood timber, long spans, complex groundworks, or added features such as intercom systems, keypads and multiple remote controls.
Electric gate installation usually takes 2–4 days on site. Straightforward replacements where posts and levels are good can be quicker, while new gates often need extra time for foundations, cable runs and setting accurate levels. Sliding gates may require track preparation or a stable run, and swing gates can need careful hinge alignment. Weather, access for deliveries and curing time for concrete can also affect scheduling.
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 sit close to a highway where visibility and safety are factors. We’ll discuss your layout, heights and boundary position and can advise when it’s sensible to confirm requirements with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our workmanship and installation standards, giving you confidence that posts, fixings and set-out are built to last. Manufacturer warranties apply to gate motors, control boards and accessories such as intercoms and safety devices, and we’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen system. We also show you how to use manual release and basic checks to keep everything running smoothly.
We install sliding and swing gates in timber or metal, with designs ranging from traditional close-boarded wooden gates to modern slatted styles and powder-coated steel or aluminium. You can add intercom systems, keypads, vehicle sensors and multiple remote controls to suit how you arrive home. We’ll guide you on privacy levels, maintenance, wind exposure and the best automation type for your driveway width and slope.
