Response within 24 hours
Nunhead homeowners want gates that feel welcoming yet properly secure. We design and install side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates that suit the character around Nunhead Green and the SE15 streets. Whether you’re upgrading access to a rear garden or securing a front drive, we focus on smooth operation, neat lines and long-lasting materials. Every gate is made to measure for your opening and your daily routine.
From Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses to period cottages, Nunhead properties often come with narrow side passages, brick piers and older boundary lines that aren’t perfectly square. We measure carefully and build in the tolerances needed for reliable closing and latching. If you’re near Telegraph Hill Park or bordering East Dulwich, we can match styles commonly seen locally, including traditional vertical-board timber or understated metalwork. The result is a gate that looks like it has always belonged to the property.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear options and a written quotation, then precise measuring before fabrication. We install with solid posts, quality hinges and weather-resistant fixings, and we’ll fit locks, latches and closers to suit your household. If you want automation, we advise on safe operation, power supply and access control. Local clients choose us for tidy workmanship, dependable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Access can be tight on SE15 streets, especially around terraces with narrow side returns, so we plan deliveries and installation to minimise disruption. We’re used to working with older brickwork and boundary walls and will advise if posts need strengthening or if existing piers can be reused. For properties near Nunhead Cemetery, we consider shade and damp when specifying timber treatments and ground fixings. If any council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and help you stay compliant.

Costs vary by size, material and hardware. As a guide, a made-to-measure timber side gate with quality hinges and latch is often £350–£900 supplied and fitted. Metal pedestrian gates typically start around £650 and can exceed £1,500 for bespoke designs. Driveway gates range widely: £1,800–£5,500+, with automation commonly adding £1,200–£3,000 depending on power, controls and safety features.
Most side or pedestrian gates are installed in a single visit, usually 2–6 hours, provided posts and ground conditions are sound. Driveway gates often take 1–2 days, and automated systems can add another day for wiring, setup and safety testing. Timescales depend on fabrication lead time, whether old posts need replacing, and if we’re matching fencing or repairing brick piers as part of the job.
Many garden and driveway gates fall under permitted development, especially when replacing like-for-like. Rules can change depending on gate height, whether it fronts a highway, and if your home is listed or in a conservation area. In the London Borough of Southwark we’ll advise on typical limits and, if needed, help you confirm requirements before work starts. We always design with compliance and neighbourly sightlines in mind.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering our workmanship and installation, including alignment, fixings and functional operation when the gate is used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific components such as locks, hinges and automation equipment, and we’ll pass those details on in writing. If a gate drops, binds or a fixing loosens due to installation issues, we’ll return to put it right promptly.
We install timber gates (such as closeboard, tongue-and-groove, or framed ledged-and-braced) and metal gates in simple vertical-bar or more decorative styles. Popular upgrades include privacy slats, arched tops, matching fencing panels, and secure hardware like mortice locks and drop bolts. For driveways, we can add automation with keypads, fobs or intercoms. We’ll recommend options that suit your frontage, security needs and maintenance preferences.
