From Kennington Park to The Oval cricket ground, properties around SE11 often need gates that look right and work hard every day. Fine Landscaping supplies and installs side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates to improve access control and privacy. We can match your existing fencing line, or replace it for a consistent finish. Every gate is measured and made to fit, so it closes cleanly and stays aligned.
Oval’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion flats bring a mix of narrow side returns, shared paths and compact front gardens. We design gate layouts that respect original brickwork, railings and boundary walls while meeting modern security needs. For terrace homes near Oval tube station, we often recommend slimline frames and hinges that maximise clear opening width. Where driveways exist, we can add automated swing or sliding options with safe, compliant operation.
We start with an on-site survey, then provide clear options for materials, finishes, locks and automation. Installation is scheduled to suit access and parking constraints, with tidy workmanship and careful protection of paving and planting. You’ll get straightforward aftercare advice and a written 10-year warranty on workmanship. Local homeowners choose us for dependable fitting, durable hardware and gates that don’t sag after the first winter.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth, we’re used to restricted access, controlled parking and busy streets around Vauxhall and Kennington. Ground levels can vary between paving, steps and older boundary walls, so we set posts and hinges to prevent dragging and misalignment. We also consider sightlines and public footpaths when positioning driveway gates. If your property is near St Mark’s Church or close to SE11 main routes, we plan deliveries and installation times carefully.

Costs vary by size, material and hardware. As a guide in the Oval area, a basic timber side gate with standard latch is often £350–£850 supplied and fitted. Heavier hardwood or bespoke metal pedestrian gates typically range £900–£2,000. Driveway gates can start around £1,800–£4,500, while automation commonly adds £1,200–£3,000 depending on motors, power supply and safety equipment.
Most side or pedestrian gates are installed in half a day to one day once the gate is ready, including setting posts and fitting locks. Driveway gates usually take 1–2 days, and automated systems can take 2–4 days if trenching, cabling or a new power feed is needed. Timescales depend on ground conditions, wall/post repairs, drying time for concrete, and whether matching fencing is included.
Many garden and driveway gates fall under permitted development, especially when replacing like-for-like. However, rules can change based on gate height (particularly next to a highway), listed buildings, conservation areas, and shared access arrangements common around Oval. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise what to check with Lambeth Council. If permission or consent is required, we’ll help you choose a compliant design.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering installation issues such as alignment, fixings and post setting when used and maintained normally. Manufacturer warranties apply to gate hardware, locks and automation components, and we’ll supply the relevant details at handover. We also give practical maintenance guidance for timber finishes and moving parts to extend lifespan. If something isn’t right after installation, we respond promptly to resolve it.
We install timber gates (softwood or hardwood) and metal gates in traditional or contemporary styles. Popular choices locally include vertical slatted timber for privacy, framed ledged-and-braced side gates for durability, and powder-coated steel railings-style gates to suit Georgian terraces. For security, we can fit mortice locks, digital locks or keyed alike systems, plus automation for driveways. We’ll recommend options based on exposure, maintenance preferences and how you want the frontage to look.
