Costs vary by size, material and hardware. A simple timber pedestrian or side gate is often £250–£700 supplied and fitted, while larger driveway gates typically start around £1,200–£3,500. Metal gates can be £1,500–£5,000 depending on design and finish. Automation usually adds £1,000–£2,500+ depending on power supply, safety features and controls. We’ll confirm after a site measure.
Most pedestrian or side gates can be installed in half a day to a full day, including setting posts and fitting locks. Driveway gates often take 1–2 days, especially if new posts, groundwork or threshold work is needed. Automation can add another day for motors, cabling and safety testing. Timescales depend on ground conditions, curing time for post concrete, access, and whether the gate is bespoke-made.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but rules can apply to height, location next to highways, and listed buildings or conservation areas. As a guide, gates and fences beside a highway have stricter height limits than those elsewhere on the boundary. We’ll discuss your frontage, check what’s likely to apply in the London Borough of Croydon, and advise if you should confirm with the council before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as post movement due to poor setting, hinge alignment problems, and fixings fitted incorrectly. We also use quality hardware and will advise on manufacturer warranties for locks, automation components and finishes, which can vary by brand. Regular maintenance (such as lubrication and cleaning) helps keep everything operating smoothly and protects your warranty coverage.
