Norbury SW16 · Garden gates
Gates that open, close and lock properly.
As local gate fitters based here in Norbury, we supply and hang side gates, garden gates and made-to-measure pairs across SW16, usually on new posts so they keep opening and locking properly for years. Our nearest documented gate jobs are below.

Your garden, considered
Most gate problems are post problems. A gate is a heavy lever hanging off one post, so if that post is too thin or not set firmly, the gate drops, catches on the ground and stops latching. When we replaced David's double gates in Earlsfield we took the old posts out and set new 6-inch posts to carry the weight of the new pair.
Gardens in Norbury are mostly clay, which shifts a little between wet winters and dry summers, so we set gate posts deep and firmly rather than reusing a tired post that has already started to move.
We often hang the gate as part of a new fence, as on Barry's job in Croydon, where a new gate with locks that open from both sides went in alongside 13 closeboard panels.

Materials & possibilities
The width of the opening, how often it is used and whether the bins go through it all shape the right gate.
A braced frame on the garden side stops a timber gate dropping at the corner, and strong hinges spread the load into the post. We fit locks that open from both sides where people need to come and go, and check the swing and the gap at the bottom before we leave.
From first ideas to finishing touches
We measure the opening and check the posts on each side.
Agree the style, the hinges and how the gate locks.
Old gate and posts out, new posts set, gate hung.
Swing, gaps and latching tested before hand over.
Documented project · Earlsfield SW18 · 3.7 miles from Norbury
David's old double gates in Earlsfield had worn out. In one day we removed the gates and their posts, set new 6-inch posts and hung a made-to-measure pair of tongue and groove gates, ledged and braced on the garden side, with new hinges and locks that work from both sides. £2,150 including VAT. Drag the slider to compare.

A made-to-measure pair of tongue and groove gates with new posts in Earlsfield cost £2,150. Gates fitted with new fencing cost more overall: £3,150 for 13 panels and a gate in Croydon, and £4,820 for 12 panels on extended posts with a new gate in Beckenham. The size of the opening and the number of gates make the difference.

Read our warranty termsDavid's made-to-measure pair of gates with new posts in Earlsfield cost £2,150 including VAT. A gate fitted with 13 new closeboard panels in Croydon came to £3,150 in total.
Usually the post has moved or rotted, or the gate has no brace to keep it square. New posts and a ledged and braced frame fix both.
Yes. David's tongue and groove gates in Earlsfield were made to the measured opening rather than bought off the shelf.
Yes. Both David's pair in Earlsfield and Barry's gate in Croydon have locks that open from either side.
David's old gates and posts came out and the new pair was hung in a single day.
If the gate is tired, doing both together means it matches and shares new posts. Gemma's fencing in Streatham and Barry's in Croydon both had a new gate in the same job.
All of it. Our base is in Norbury SW16, and we cover Norbury Park, Pollards Hill, Crown Point and Norwood Grove as well as Streatham Vale and Thornton Heath.
