Sidcup’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and modern developments often comes with different driveway widths, gradients and boundary styles. We match gate proportions to brick piers, fencing and planting so the entrance looks intentional, not bolted-on. For tighter drives, a sliding gate can maximise space; for wider openings, swing gates create a classic look. If you’re in the electric gates Sidcup area near Chislehurst or Bexley, we’ll recommend the best configuration for your plot.
We start with a site survey, then confirm measurements, safety requirements and power options before fabrication. Installation typically takes 2–4 days, including automation setup, safety edges and commissioning. We test opening speeds, photocells and manual release, and show you how to use the system confidently. Local homeowners choose us for clear communication, clean handover and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Across Sidcup and the wider London Borough of Bexley, access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and installation to minimise disruption. We’re used to working with 1930s driveways, existing brick piers and mixed boundary lines. Where levels or drainage affect track alignment, we adjust foundations and set-out accordingly. If needed, we can advise on safe visibility and gate positioning near pavements and footpaths.

Groundworks, new posts/piers and power supply routing can also affect the final figure.
Typical installation takes 2–4 days once the gate and automation components are ready. Timescales depend on groundworks, whether existing posts can be reused, and how far power and control cables need to run. Sliding gates may need a track or cantilever setup, while swing gates can require stronger hinges and foundations. We’ll confirm a clear schedule after the site survey and measurements.
