From school-run shortcuts to weekend strolls past Brockley Market, Brockley homes need gates that work hard every day. We design and install side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates that look right on SE4 streets and perform reliably in all weather. Whether you want added privacy, better access control, or a smarter frontage, we tailor each gate to your layout. We can also match existing fencing for a clean, consistent boundary line.
Brockley’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with narrow side returns, stepped paths and original brick piers. Our team measures carefully to avoid binding on uneven paving and to align hinges and latches with older masonry. For homes near Hilly Fields and the surrounding slopes, we factor in drainage and ground movement when setting posts. If you’re in Honor Oak or Crofton Park, we’ll recommend designs that complement the local streetscape without compromising security.
We start with a site visit, take precise measurements, and agree the opening direction, latch height and access needs. Gates are built to spec, installed with heavy-duty fixings, and finished with quality treatments or powder coating for longevity. We test operation, locks and automation thoroughly before sign-off, and we leave the area tidy. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, dependable scheduling, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access in Brockley can be tight, with on-street parking and narrow frontages, so we plan deliveries and installation to minimise disruption. We’re used to working around older brickwork, uneven thresholds and shared boundaries common in SE4. Where ground levels change, we set posts and hinges to keep clearances consistent and prevent dragging. If any rules apply to your frontage, we’ll help you check requirements in the London Borough of Lewisham before work starts.

Costs vary by size, material and hardware. As a guide, a made-to-measure timber side gate with quality hinges and latch is often £450–£1,000 fitted. Metal pedestrian gates typically start around £650–£1,400. Driveway gates can range from £1,800–£6,000+, and automation commonly adds £1,200–£3,000 depending on power supply and safety features. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most side or pedestrian gate installations take half a day to one day on site once the gate is ready. If new posts or brick pier repairs are needed, allow 1–2 days including setting time for concrete. Driveway gates usually take 1–2 days, while automated systems can take 2–4 days depending on cabling routes, power availability and safety testing. Lead times depend on fabrication and finish requirements.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but there are key limits, especially for gates next to a highway or footpath and for taller front boundary structures. Conservation areas and listed buildings can also have additional controls. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey, check likely constraints, and advise if you should confirm with the London Borough of Lewisham before ordering or installing your gate.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gate installations, covering issues such as post stability, alignment, fixings and fitting-related defects. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific components like locks, hinges, automation motors and safety devices, and we’ll pass those details to you in writing. Timber gates also need routine maintenance; we’ll advise on staining or painting schedules to keep the finish protected.
We install timber gates (including closeboard, tongue-and-groove and framed ledged-and-braced styles) and metal gates (steel or aluminium, often powder-coated). Popular choices in the garden gates Brockley area include arched tops for period homes, vertical bar designs for visibility, and solid panels for privacy. We’ll help you choose the right height, spacing and lock type, and can supply matching fencing for a consistent boundary.
