Costs vary by size, material and site conditions. As a guide, a simple timber side gate supplied and fitted is often £450–£900, while heavier hardwood or bespoke designs can be £900–£1,800. Metal pedestrian gates commonly start around £700 and can reach £2,000+ for ornate work. Driveway gates typically range from £1,800–£6,000+, with automation adding roughly £1,200–£3,000 depending on kit and power supply.
Many straightforward side or pedestrian gate installs can be completed in half a day to a full day once the gate is ready. If new posts or repairs to brick piers are needed, allow 1–2 days including setting time. Lead times depend on fabrication and finishes: simple timber gates may be quicker, while bespoke metalwork or automation can take several weeks. Access, parking restrictions and power provision can also affect timing.
In many cases, replacing or adding a garden gate is permitted development, especially when it’s within typical height limits and not altering highway visibility. Rules can be stricter for gates next to a road, for listed buildings, or if your property sits within a conservation area. We’ll discuss your specific frontage in Kennington, check likely constraints, and advise if you should confirm with Lambeth’s planning team before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as fixings, alignment and post stability under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply to automation kits, locks and specialist hardware, and we’ll register these where required. Timber gates also need routine care; we’ll advise on staining/painting intervals to protect against weathering. If anything feels stiff or misaligned after settling, we’ll arrange a prompt inspection.
Popular choices include pressure-treated softwood for value, hardwood for a premium finish, and powder-coated steel or aluminium for low maintenance. Design options range from closeboard privacy gates to slatted contemporary styles, arched tops, and traditional railings-inspired metalwork. We can add deadlocks, digital locks, drop bolts and self-closers, plus automation for driveways. We’ll help you choose a style that suits your property and matches any existing fencing.
