From smart side access to statement driveway entrances, we supply and install gates that look right and work smoothly every day.

We can match new gates to existing fencing or replace tired panels at the same time. Every installation is measured precisely for a crisp fit and dependable closing.
Lee Green’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often have narrow side returns, stepped paths and mixed brickwork that need careful setting-out. We regularly fit pedestrian and side gates where space is tight, keeping clearances practical for bins, bikes and prams. For wider driveways, we can create balanced pairs that suit period proportions without looking bulky. If you’re near Manor House Gardens or close to Lee station, we’ll plan around access and daily routines.
We start with a site visit, discuss security needs, opening direction and preferred finishes, then provide a clear written quote. Gates are built for longevity with quality fixings, robust posts and weather-resistant treatments where needed. Our team keeps the area tidy, protects paving and planting, and tests alignment and latching before sign-off. Many clients choose us for straightforward communication, punctuality and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
We’re used to the access challenges of Lewisham streets, including tighter parking and shared drive approaches near Leegate Shopping Centre. Many properties have older brick piers or uneven paving, so we check levels and post footings carefully to prevent sagging. Where boundaries meet public paths, we help you choose safe opening directions and appropriate heights. If needed, we can coordinate with neighbours for shared access points and minimise disruption.

Costs vary by size, materials and hardware. As a guide, a simple timber side gate with posts and a standard latch often starts around £350–£750. Heavier-duty timber or metal pedestrian gates with upgraded locks are commonly £700–£1,500. Driveway gates range widely, typically £1,800–£5,500, with automation adding roughly £1,200–£3,000 depending on motors, power supply and safety features.
Most side or pedestrian gates can be installed in half a day to a full day once the gate is ready, including setting posts and fitting locks. Driveway gates usually take 1–2 days, and automated systems can add another day for wiring, safety edges and commissioning. Timescales depend on ground conditions, whether old posts need removal, curing time for concrete, and any fencing repairs required to match the new gate line.
In many cases, gates are permitted development, particularly for rear and side boundaries. However, rules can change if the gate fronts a highway, exceeds certain heights, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area.
