From Blackheath Village to the edges of Blackheath Common, gates need to balance kerb appeal with security.

Whether you want a simple access gate or a statement entrance, we tailor the build to your opening, levels and boundary lines. We regularly work across SE3 and nearby Greenwich and Lee.
Blackheath’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often come with narrow side returns, brick piers and original boundary walls. We measure precisely to avoid fouling steps, bay windows or basement railings, and we match proportions to existing ironwork or timber detailing. If your property sits on a sloping approach or has uneven paving, we’ll advise on hinge types and ground clearance. For homeowners seeking garden gates blackheath area solutions, we focus on fit, finish and long-term reliability.
We start with a site visit, clear options, and a written specification covering materials, hardware and finishes. Your gate is fabricated for durability, then installed with robust posts, quality hinges and secure locks, with automation available for driveway gates. We keep the site tidy and protect planting and paving during works. Fine Landscaping backs installations with a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we plan for controlled parking, tight access and shared driveways common around SE3. Many Blackheath properties have brick piers and heritage-style railings, so we align fixings and finishes to suit. We also account for tree roots near the Common and shifting ground that can affect gate swing and post stability. Where needed, we’ll advise on sensible clearances and drainage to prevent seasonal sticking.

Costs vary by size, material and hardware. A simple timber side or pedestrian gate typically starts around £350–£900 supplied and fitted. Metal gates are often £700–£1,800 depending on design and finish. Driveway gates commonly range from £1,500–£4,500, while automation can add £1,200–£3,000. We’ll confirm a tailored range after measuring and discussing security and style.
Most side or pedestrian gate installations take half a day to a full day once the gate is ready. Driveway gates usually take 1–2 days, especially if new posts or brick pier repairs are required. Automated systems can add another day for wiring, safety testing and commissioning. Timescales depend on ground conditions, access for materials, and whether we’re also fitting matching fencing or new posts.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but rules can change with height, location next to a highway, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. As a guide, front boundary gates are more likely to have restrictions than side or rear gates. We’ll flag any concerns during the survey and can help you check the relevant council guidance before you commit to a design.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as post movement due to incorrect setting, hinge alignment problems, and fixings that fail under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply to automation kits, locks and specific finishes, and we’ll provide the paperwork on completion. Regular maintenance (like lubricating hinges and keeping clearances free of debris) helps ensure the best long-term performance.
