From side access gates to statement driveway entrances, we supply and fit gates that look right and work smoothly every day. Homeowners near Streatham Hill station and along Christchurch Road often need better privacy without losing light or character. We install pedestrian gates, side gates and driveway gates with reliable hinges, closers and secure locking. Every gate is made to measure for a clean fit and easy use.
Streatham Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions bring a mix of brick piers, narrow side returns and shared access paths. We tailor widths, swing clearances and latch positions to suit these layouts, including sloping drives and uneven thresholds. If you’re in SW2 or close to Telford Park, we can match gate styles to existing railings or boundary fencing. Our joinery and metalwork options suit both period details and modern updates.
We start with a site visit to measure accurately, check ground levels, and agree the look, height and security requirements. You’ll receive clear options for materials, finishes, locks and automation, then we schedule installation to minimise disruption. We protect paving and planting, remove old gates responsibly, and test alignment and closing action before sign-off. Fine Landscaping is based just 10 minutes away, and our work is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
The Streatham Hill area has a mix of tight frontages, shared side passages and on-street parking, so we plan access and deliveries carefully. We’re used to working around brick piers, older walls and uneven thresholds typical of Lambeth period homes. Where driveways slope, we adjust clearances and hinge geometry to prevent scraping and binding. For clients wanting garden gates in London Borough of Lambeth, we also advise on heights and visibility to keep entrances practical and compliant.

Costs vary by size, material, posts/piers condition and hardware. As a guide, a basic timber side gate supplied and fitted is often £350–£800, while heavier hardwood or framed ledged-and-braced designs can be £700–£1,400. Metal pedestrian gates typically start around £650–£1,600. Driveway gates range from £1,800–£6,000+, with automation usually adding £1,200–£3,000 depending on power and safety requirements.
Most pedestrian or side gates are installed in half a day to a full day, especially if posts are sound and access is straightforward. If new posts, concrete footings, or repairs to brick piers are needed, allow 1–2 days. Driveway gates usually take 1–3 days, and automated systems can add another day for wiring, safety edges and commissioning. Lead time depends on fabrication and finish (paint, stain, galvanising).
Many gate installations are permitted development, particularly like-for-like replacements and gates within typical height limits. However, rules can change for properties on certain roads, flats/mansion conversions, or where boundaries meet highways and visibility is a concern. If you’re adding tall driveway gates or altering walls/piers, it’s worth checking. We’ll flag likely issues during the survey and can help you confirm requirements with Lambeth before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gate installations, covering issues such as poor alignment, fixings, and installation-related movement. Hardware and automation components are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and specification. Timber gates are also dependent on maintenance; we’ll advise on staining/painting intervals to reduce swelling and rot. If anything needs adjustment after settling, we can return to fine-tune hinges and latches.
We fit classic closeboard and tongue-and-groove timber gates for privacy, framed ledged-and-braced styles for strength, and hardwood options for a premium finish. For a lighter look, metal pedestrian gates in vertical bar or decorative patterns work well with period railings. Driveway gates can be timber, steel or aluminium, with manual or automated opening. We’ll help you choose based on security, maintenance, exposure to weather, and how you want it to match fencing and brickwork.
