Streatham SW16 · Garden gates
Front gates, side gates and back gates.
As local gate fitters from Norbury next door, we fit timber side gates, metal front gates and new back-garden gates across Streatham, often with new fencing or a new front garden. Gemma's gate in Streatham and our nearest other gate jobs are below.

Your garden, considered
Many Streatham houses have two gates to think about: a front gate onto the street and a side or back gate that keeps the garden secure. At Kristina's home between Brixton and Tulse Hill we supplied and fitted two metal gates at the front, alongside new sandstone paving and a newly rendered wall.
At the back, a gate usually matches the fence. In Streatham, Gemma's garden was fenced with around 14 closeboard panels on concrete posts and gravel boards, and the gate was hung in the same run.
Gardens around here are mostly clay soil, so gate posts are set firmly in concrete to stop them leaning as the ground moves through the year.

Materials & possibilities
Front gates are about looks and the street; back and side gates are about security and privacy.
A front gate needs to clear the path when it opens and line up with the wall or fence beside it. On the street side, gates and walls are usually limited to 1m without planning permission, so most Streatham front gates are low, with taller, more private gates kept for the side and back.
From first ideas to finishing touches
We look at the opening, the wall or fence beside it and how the gate will be used.
Timber or metal, height, hinges and locks agreed.
Posts set, gate hung and adjusted.
Swing and catch checked, waste removed.
Documented project · Brixton SW2 · 2.4 miles from Streatham
Kristina's home between Brixton and Tulse Hill had worn paving at the front and an old deck at the back. Over two weeks we relaid the front and side in mint sawn sandstone, built a new rendered wall and fitted two metal gates, then rebuilt the back with composite decking and new artificial grass. Around £20,000 all in. Drag the slider to compare.

We fit gates across Streatham, including Streatham Common, Streatham Park, Telford Park and Streatham Hill, and over towards Brixton Hill and Tooting Bec. Our base is in Norbury, right next door.
Streatham is in Lambeth, so Lambeth Council is the one to ask about gates onto the street in a conservation area.
