Chelsea homeowners expect gates that look refined and work flawlessly. We design and install side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates to complement streets around King’s Road and the Saatchi Gallery. Whether you need privacy for a rear garden or controlled access to a mews entrance, we build to measure. Every installation prioritises security, smooth operation and a finish that elevates kerb appeal.
The Chelsea area includes Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments, each with different access points and boundary lines. We regularly work on narrow side returns, shared passages and compact frontages where millimetres matter. Materials and detailing are chosen to suit brickwork, railings and existing fencing. If you’re in SW3 or SW10, we’ll recommend a gate style that feels original to the property rather than added on.
Our process starts with a site survey, clear options and an itemised quotation. We manufacture to precise measurements, then install with robust posts, quality hinges, reliable locks and neat finishing. Automation is available for driveway gates, including safety features and discreet cabling routes. With a 10-year warranty and tidy working practices, local clients value the consistency and aftercare we provide.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means planning for restricted parking, timed deliveries and careful access through mews and narrow streets. We schedule installs to minimise disruption and protect paving, tiles and steps common to Chelsea entrances. Ground conditions vary from older garden soil to compacted sub-bases in courtyards, so we set posts with the right foundations. If needed, we can advise on boundary alignment to suit existing walls and railings.

Costs vary by size, material and whether you need automation. As a guide, a simple timber side gate typically starts around £450–£900 supplied and fitted. Metal pedestrian gates are often £700–£1,500 depending on design. Driveway gates can range from £2,500–£7,500+, with automation commonly adding £1,200–£3,000. We’ll survey and provide an itemised quote for your Chelsea property.
Installation is usually completed in a day for a standard side or pedestrian gate, assuming posts and footings are straightforward. Bespoke fabrication and finishing typically takes 2–6 weeks depending on design complexity and workshop lead times. Driveway gates with automation may take 1–2 days on site, plus time for electrical works and commissioning. Access constraints, old post removal and ground conditions can extend timescales.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but rules can change depending on height, location next to a highway, and whether your home is listed or in a conservation area. Chelsea has many protected streetscapes, so it’s sensible to check. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you understand what may need consent. Where required, we’ll work to compliant heights and designs.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gate installations, covering issues such as fixing failure, post movement due to poor installation, and alignment problems caused by fitting. Manufacturer warranties apply to components like locks, hinges and automation kits, and we’ll explain those at quotation stage. To keep everything performing well, we also advise on maintenance for timber finishes and moving parts.
Popular choices include closeboard timber for privacy, slatted timber for a lighter look, and powder-coated metal for durability and a classic Chelsea frontage. We can build side gates, pedestrian gates and driveway gates, with options like arched tops, decorative finials, or minimalist frames. Security upgrades include mortice locks, digital access and intercom-ready automation. We’ll help you choose a design that matches existing fencing and railings.
