Those narrow passages between Battersea's terraced houses deserve gates that match their character. Whether you're securing a side return or creating a grand entrance, the right gate transforms both security and kerb appeal.

Victorian properties throughout SW11 often feature original gate posts that have outlived their gates by decades. From the conservation areas near Battersea Park to the newer builds around Nine Elms, each property presents unique challenges - awkward widths, sloping paths, or the need to match period features. Local craftsmen understand these quirks better than anyone.
Gate installation involves more than hanging hinges. Ground levels vary considerably across Battersea's clay soil, requiring careful measurement and sometimes creative solutions for smooth operation. Automated options prove popular where bin storage sits behind secure access, whilst traditional designs complement the area's heritage properties. Materials range from powder-coated steel for longevity to sustainable hardwoods that weather beautifully.
Twenty years fitting gates between Clapham Junction's railway arches and Chelsea's garden squares brings invaluable local knowledge. Every installation considers your neighbours' access rights and local planning considerations.

Basic pedestrian gates start around £600-800 installed. Bespoke designs for period properties typically range £1,200-2,500, whilst automated driveway gates for larger Battersea homes can reach £4,000-8,000 depending on width and features.
Absolutely - from the mansion blocks near Battersea Bridge to the new developments at Battersea Power Station. Regular work takes us through Nine Elms, up to Wandsworth Common, and across to the Shaftesbury Estate.
Stock designs install within 7-10 days of ordering. Bespoke metalwork typically requires 3-4 weeks from approved drawings, though complex automated systems might extend to 6 weeks during busy periods.
All gates carry decade-long protection against manufacturing defects. Hinges, locks and automation components include separate warranties. Annual maintenance checks help preserve finishes against London weather.
Victorian brickwork posts usually accommodate modern gates well after minor repairs. Concrete posts from the 1960s-80s sometimes need reinforcement. Free assessments determine what's needed before quoting.
