From West Wickham High Street to the quieter roads near Sparrows Den, homeowners want secure access without sacrificing appearance. Our electric gate installations are designed to suit your driveway layout and daily routine. We fit sliding and swing systems with reliable automation, plus intercoms and remote controls. Every job is finished with tidy edges, smooth operation and strong safety features.
West Wickham’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and newer developments often comes with generous frontages and varied driveway widths. We design gates that complement brickwork, render and period detailing, while keeping sightlines and turning space practical. Whether you’re on a sloping drive or need a compact opening, we tailor the layout to your property. Many clients also ask for discreet access control that looks smart from the street.
We start with a site survey, take accurate measurements and confirm the safest opening method for your entrance. You’ll receive clear options on materials, automation and access control, with realistic timescales (typically 2–4 days). Our installers work cleanly, protect existing paving and leave you with a full handover on controls and safety. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, responsive aftercare and a 10-year warranty.
We regularly work across BR4 and nearby Hayes, Keston and Shirley, so we understand local access and parking constraints. Driveways can vary from flat block paving to gentle slopes near greener edges of the borough, which affects motor choice and gate design. We plan deliveries and installation to minimise disruption to neighbours and traffic. Where required, we’ll also advise on visibility, boundary lines and safe pedestrian access.

For electric gates in the West Wickham area, most homeowners budget £4,000–£7,000 for a quality supply-and-install package. Simpler setups can start around £2,500, while larger entrances, premium timber or metalwork, and added features like intercom systems can reach £10,000. Costs depend on gate size, groundworks, power supply, safety equipment and whether you choose sliding or swing automation.
Most installations take 2–4 days, depending on the gate type and how much groundwork is needed. Sliding gates can require more preparation for the track or cantilever system, while swing gates may need strong posts and accurate hinge alignment. Timescales also vary with cabling routes, intercom fitting, and curing time for new concrete footings. We confirm a schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, especially when replacing an existing gate or staying within typical height limits. However, rules can change if your property is on a classified road, within a conservation area, or if the gate affects visibility and highway safety. We’ll discuss your layout, check likely constraints in the London Borough of Bromley, and advise if a planning application or permissions may be needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and the structural installation of your gates. Automation components typically come with manufacturer warranties, and we’ll explain what’s included for the motor, control board, safety edges and photocells. If an issue arises, we offer practical aftercare and can service or adjust the system as required. You’ll also receive guidance on routine checks to keep everything running smoothly.
We install wooden and metal electric gates in a range of styles, from contemporary slatted timber to traditional framed designs and powder-coated metalwork. You can choose sliding gates for wider openings or swing gates for classic driveway entrances. Popular upgrades include keypad entry, intercom systems and multi-remote setups for the household. We help you select a design that suits your home, privacy needs and day-to-day access.
