Cheam's mix of period properties and newer developments each deserve gates that complement their character. Those grand Edwardian homes along Malden Road need something quite different from the compact modern builds near Nonsuch Park. Materials matter too - whether you're after the warmth of timber to match original features or the durability of powder-coated aluminium for busy family homes. Local planning considerations around conservation areas can influence designs, particularly near the historic village centre.
Installation begins with precise measurements accounting for ground levels - essential given Cheam's subtle slopes towards the Hogsmill River valley. Posts get secured deep into concrete foundations, crucial for stability on London clay soil. Hinges receive careful alignment to ensure smooth operation for decades. Automated options integrate discreetly, with underground cabling routed safely away from existing utilities common in established suburban streets.
Twenty-three years serving Cheam homeowners means knowing which suppliers deliver quality hardware that withstands our changeable weather. Every installation receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's replacing a rotting wooden gate in North Cheam or fitting electric gates to a new build near Cheam Common.

Often yes, provided they're structurally sound and correctly positioned. We'll assess during the initial visit - sometimes minor adjustments or reinforcement allows retention of characterful original brickwork pillars.
