From Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre to Elephant Park, properties here need gates that balance security with a smart, modern look. Fine Landscaping supplies and installs side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates tailored to your opening and boundary lines. We can match new gates to existing fencing or replace the full run for a consistent finish. Coverage includes SE1 and SE17, with designs suited to busy streets and private courtyards.
Elephant & Castle mixes new-build apartments, modern high-rises and Victorian terraces around Walworth, Kennington and Borough. That variety affects gate choices: narrow side returns often suit slimline timber or metal side gates, while forecourts and shared driveways may need wider, stronger driveway gates. We measure carefully for uneven brick piers, rendered walls and modern composite fencing systems. The result is a gate that closes cleanly, aligns properly and looks intentional from the street.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, hinge points, latch positions and access for installation. We’ll recommend the right hardware, locks and finishes, plus automation options where power and safety requirements allow. Every gate is fitted with durability in mind, from robust posts and fixings to weather-resistant coatings. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, punctual scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in the London Borough of Southwark, we plan around controlled parking zones, loading restrictions and limited on-site storage. Many homes near Newington and Walworth have narrow passages and shared boundaries, so we prioritise compact hardware and precise alignment. For newer developments, we match contemporary lines and powder-coated finishes to railings and estate fencing. We also advise on safe gate swing direction and visibility where footfall is high near transport routes.

Costs vary by size, material and hardware. As a guide, a simple timber side gate supplied and fitted often starts around £350–£700, while metal pedestrian gates are commonly £600–£1,200. Driveway gates typically range from £1,500–£4,500 depending on width and design. Automation, intercoms and premium locks can add £900–£2,500+. We’ll confirm after measuring and discussing access and finishes.
Most side or pedestrian gates can be installed in half a day to a full day once the gate is ready. If new posts, brickwork repairs or matching fencing are needed, allow 1–2 days. Driveway gates usually take 1–3 days, and automated systems may add another day for electrics, safety edges and commissioning. Lead times depend on fabrication, finish curing and any bespoke metalwork.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but rules can apply to height, proximity to highways and whether your property is listed or in a conservation area. As a general guide, gates next to a road may have lower height limits than those set back. We’ll check the basics during the survey and flag anything that may need approval. If required, we can provide drawings and specifications to support an application.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including fixing integrity, alignment and installation-related issues. Gate hardware and automation components are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. We’ll explain what’s included for your chosen locks, closers and motors. To keep everything performing well, we also advise on simple maintenance such as lubrication and periodic hinge checks.
We supply timber gates (including closeboard, tongue-and-groove and framed ledged-and-braced styles) and metal gates in contemporary or traditional patterns. Popular choices locally include slatted timber for privacy, powder-coated steel for security, and pedestrian gates that match railings. We can add deadlocks, digital locks, drop bolts and soft closers, plus automation for driveways. We’ll help you choose a design that suits your frontage and complements matching fencing.
