Response within 24 hours
Biggin Hill's varied landscape calls for gates that complement everything from Victorian cottages to contemporary builds. Whether you're tackling that steep slope near Aperfield Road or creating privacy along those wider plots towards Keston, each installation demands careful consideration. Local properties often feature challenging gradients and established boundaries that require thoughtful gate positioning.
Material selection proves crucial given TN16's exposure to both morning mists and afternoon sun. Hardwood options like oak weather beautifully against Biggin Hill's climate, developing that sought-after silvered patina. Alternatively, powder-coated metal provides durability without sacrificing style—particularly effective for those exposed positions near Tatsfield. Automation integration has become increasingly popular, especially for properties with lengthy driveways common in the Westerham direction.
Twenty years installing gates across this corner of Kent brings invaluable local knowledge. Understanding soil conditions from Churchill's former airfield to the clay-heavy areas near Keston means foundations that last decades, not seasons.

Absolutely—from properties backing onto Biggin Hill airport through to homes nestled near Jewels Wood. Regular projects span across TN16, including Aperfield, Single Street, and the conservation areas towards Berry's Green.
Simple replacements often complete within a day. Bespoke designs typically require 3-4 weeks from order to installation, accounting for manufacture and any groundwork preparation needed.
Each gate installation carries comprehensive decade-long protection covering both materials and craftsmanship. This includes adjustment visits during the first year as timber naturally settles.
Most established pillars accommodate automation with proper assessment. Load calculations consider gate weight, wind resistance, and motor specifications. Reinforcement options exist where original structures need strengthening.
