Banstead's mix of period properties and modern developments means no two entrances are quite the same. Those grand Edwardian homes along the Downs need something that matches their character, whilst newer builds often suit sleeker designs. Many properties here have awkward slopes or unusual boundary lines that standard gates simply won't fit properly.
Material choice depends on your property's exposure and style. Hardwood suits the tree-lined roads near Banstead Woods, developing a lovely patina over time. Powder-coated aluminium works brilliantly for contemporary homes, especially where driveways meet busy roads. Installation involves precise measurement, proper post setting to handle Surrey clay, and ensuring smooth operation regardless of seasonal ground movement.
Twenty years fitting gates across SM7 teaches you which hinges last and why certain catches fail. Local knowledge means understanding how Banstead's elevation affects wind exposure and choosing fixings accordingly.
