From smart side access to a statement driveway entrance, we design and install gates that suit Kingston upon Thames homes. Whether you’re near Kingston Bridge or popping to the Bentall Centre, we’ll help you choose a gate that looks right and works smoothly every day. Expect robust frames, neat alignment and dependable latches. We can also match new gates to existing fencing for a seamless finish.
Our team regularly works across KT1 and KT2, including Surbiton and New Malden, so we understand the mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments. Period properties often benefit from traditional timber gates with heritage detailing, while contemporary homes suit clean-lined metal designs. We’ll consider sightlines, boundary levels and how you use the space day to day. The result is a gate that feels made for your property, not off-the-shelf.
We start with a site visit, measure up accurately and talk through swing direction, clearances and access needs. You’ll receive clear options for materials, finishes, locks and automation, plus a tidy installation plan. We build for longevity with proper posts, fixings and hinges, and we test alignment before we leave. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Access and parking can be tricky around busy routes near the Rose Theatre and central Kingston, so we plan deliveries and installation times carefully. Many properties have narrow side passages or shared boundaries, requiring precise hinge placement and considerate working practices. We also factor in riverside exposure and damp conditions, selecting treated timber and corrosion-resistant fixings where needed. If council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep the job compliant.

Costs vary by size, material and hardware. As a guide, a simple timber side gate supplied and fitted is often £350–£900. Metal pedestrian gates typically start around £700–£1,600 depending on design. Driveway gates are usually £1,800–£6,000+ for manual pairs, while automated systems commonly add £1,500–£4,000+ depending on motors, power supply and safety equipment.
Most side or pedestrian gate installations take half a day to a full day once the gate is ready. Driveway gates typically take 1–2 days, and automation can add another 1–2 days depending on cabling, power access and safety testing. Timescales are affected by ground conditions for posts, brickwork repairs, custom fabrication lead times, and whether old gates and posts need removing.
Many garden and driveway gates fall under permitted development, but there are limits, especially for gates next to highways and for overall height. Extra care is needed if your property is listed or in a conservation area, which can apply to parts of Kingston. We’ll advise during the survey, check the key rules and, where needed, help you confirm requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gate installations, covering issues such as post stability, hinge alignment and fitting-related movement under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply to gate hardware, locks and automation components, and we’ll explain those at handover. To keep your gate performing well, we also recommend periodic hinge lubrication and timber re-treatment where applicable.
We install timber gates (including closeboard, tongue-and-groove and framed ledged-and-braced styles) and metal gates in contemporary or traditional designs. Popular choices include matching side gates and fencing panels, driveway pairs with arched tops, and pedestrian gates with keypad or deadlock security. We’ll help you choose based on privacy, maintenance, exposure to weather and the look of your home, then finish it with the right locks and furniture.
