If your entrance needs better security, privacy or a smarter finish, we install made-to-measure gates across SW16. From South Lodge Avenue to homes near Pollards Hill Library, we fit side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates that suit the property and the way you use it. Choose timber for warmth and character, or metal for a crisp, low-maintenance look. We can also match new gates to existing fencing for a consistent boundary line.
Pollards Hill has plenty of 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes, often with narrow side passages and shared access points. We size and hang gates to work smoothly on tighter runs, and we’ll recommend the right opening direction to avoid clashes with paths and planting. For front drives and hardstandings, we can add driveway gates that improve security without making access awkward. Our designs suit both traditional brick-fronted homes and simpler modern elevations.
We start with a site visit to measure accurately, check posts, levels and clearances, then propose practical options for materials, hinges, latches and finishes. Installations are completed neatly, with careful alignment and reliable closing so the gate doesn’t drop over time. If you want automation, we specify safe, compliant systems and set up controls and safety features properly. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

For garden gates in London Borough of Merton, we also consider boundary lines and visibility when advising on height and placement.

Costs vary by size, material, posts and ironmongery. As a guide, a simple timber side gate supplied and fitted is often £350–£850, while metal pedestrian gates are commonly £600–£1,500. Driveway gates typically range from £1,800–£5,500 depending on width and design. Automation usually adds £1,200–£3,000+. We’ll survey first and price options clearly.
Most side or pedestrian gates can be installed in half a day to a full day once the gate is ready. Driveway gates often take 1–2 days, and automated systems may take 2–3 days including electrics, safety edges and commissioning. Timescales depend on whether posts need replacing, ground levels are uneven, or custom fabrication and finishing are required. We’ll confirm a schedule before work starts.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but there are limits, especially for gates next to a highway or footpath and for taller front boundary structures. If your gate is at the front of the property, height and visibility can matter. We’ll ask a few questions, check the site layout, and advise whether permission is likely. If needed, we can help you prepare the right information before you apply.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as fixings, alignment and hanging that cause the gate to drop or bind under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to gate hardware, locks, finishes and any automation components. We’ll explain what’s covered for your chosen products and how to maintain them. If something isn’t right, we respond quickly and put it right.
We supply and fit timber gates (including closeboard, tongue-and-groove and framed ledged-and-braced styles) and metal gates in modern or traditional patterns. Popular choices include slatted designs for airflow, solid panels for privacy, and arched tops for a softer look. We can add key locks, digital access, or automation for driveways. We’ll recommend options based on security needs, exposure, and how your fencing and brickwork look.
