Soho’s streets mix private courtyards, mews access and busy frontages, so a well-made gate needs to look sharp and work flawlessly. We design and install side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates for homes and commercial conversions around Soho Square and Carnaby Street. From discreet rear access to statement entrances, every gate is sized to your opening and aligned for smooth closing. Locks, latches and hinges are selected for daily use and long-term reliability.
In W1 you’ll often find Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and refurbished commercial buildings with tight boundaries and shared access routes. That means careful measuring, sympathetic design and fixings that respect older brickwork and stone. For clients in the garden gates Soho area, we regularly supply compact side gates for narrow passages and robust driveway gates for mews parking. We also match new gates to existing fencing lines and railings for a cohesive look.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear options and a written specification covering materials, finishes and hardware. We fabricate to fit, install with tidy working practices, and test alignment, swing and locking before sign-off. If you want automation, we advise on safe operation, power routing and access control. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, high-quality joinery/metalwork, and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Access in Soho can be restricted, with limited loading and controlled parking, so we plan deliveries and installation times carefully. Many properties sit on older masonry and mixed substrates, so we choose fixings and posts to suit the structure rather than forcing standard brackets. Where boundaries meet public pavements, we check clearances and safe swing paths. For garden gates in City of Westminster, we also factor in conservation considerations and neighbour sightlines.

Costs vary by size, material, hardware and site access. As a guide, a made-to-measure timber side gate with quality hinges and lock typically starts from £450–£900 supplied and fitted. Metal pedestrian gates are often £650–£1,400 depending on design and finish. Driveway gates commonly range from £1,800–£5,500+, while automation can add £1,200–£3,500 depending on power, controls and safety devices.
Most side or pedestrian gates are installed in a half day to one day once the gate is ready, including setting posts (where needed) 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 fabrication lead time, ground conditions for posts, and access constraints around busy streets in W1.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, especially like-for-like replacements and gates below typical height limits. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the gate fronts a highway and exceeds certain heights. In the City of Westminster we’ll flag any likely constraints, advise on compliant designs, and help you check requirements before work starts so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality, including alignment, fixings and fitting of hinges and hardware. Material warranties vary by supplier and finish, but we only use proven timbers, metals and coatings suited to year-round exposure. We also explain maintenance—such as re-oiling timber or checking automation safety—so your gate keeps operating smoothly. If an issue relates to our fitting, we’ll put it right.
We install timber gates (such as hardwood or pressure-treated softwood) and metal gates in steel or aluminium, finished in durable paints or powder coating. Popular options include vertical slatted side gates for privacy, traditional framed-and-ledged designs for period homes, and contemporary metal rail gates for mews driveways. We can add key locks, digital access, intercoms and automation. We’ll recommend styles that suit your frontage, security needs and maintenance preferences.
