Tolworth homeowners often need gates that cope with busy driveways and side access routes off Tolworth Broadway. We design and install side gates, pedestrian gates and driveway gates that look right from the street and work smoothly every day. Whether you’re near Tolworth Tower or closer to Surbiton, we’ll measure precisely and fit for reliable closing and clean lines. Expect robust hinges, straight alignment and tidy finishing around posts and paving.
The Tolworth area includes plenty of 1930s semis, post-war houses and newer developments, each with different boundary layouts and driveway widths. We regularly fit gates to brick piers, rendered walls and timber fencing, making sure the style suits the property. For narrower side passages we recommend space-saving pedestrian or side gates with the right swing clearance. For wider frontages in KT5 and KT6, we can create balanced double driveway gates or sliding solutions where space is tight.
Our process starts with an on-site survey, design options and clear recommendations on materials, locks and automation. We fabricate and install with careful setting-out, solid posts and weather-resistant finishes, then test the latch, swing and safety. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we turn up when agreed, keep access safe and leave the area clean. Every installation is backed by a 10-year warranty for long-term confidence.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, access and parking can vary street to street, so we plan deliveries and installation to keep driveways usable. Many Tolworth plots have mixed levels between path, lawn and driveway; we set hinge heights and ground clearances to prevent dragging. Where boundaries meet public footpaths, we fit reliable self-closing options and secure locks. We also match existing fencing lines so the frontage looks intentional, not patched together.

Costs depend on size, materials and whether you’re adding automation. As a guide, a made-to-measure timber side gate with posts and lock is often £350–£900 installed. Metal pedestrian gates typically range from £600–£1,500. Driveway gates vary most: manual double gates are commonly £1,800–£4,500, while automated systems can be £3,500–£8,500+ depending on motors, power and safety requirements.
A straightforward side or pedestrian gate installation is usually completed in half a day to one day, including setting posts and fitting locks. Driveway gates often take 1–2 days for installation, with additional time if new piers, groundworks or matching fencing are required. Automation can add another day for wiring, commissioning and safety testing. Lead times also depend on fabrication, finishes and any bespoke metalwork.
Most garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but there are important limits. For example, gates next to a highway or footpath may have height restrictions, and listed buildings or conservation areas can require extra checks. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you confirm requirements with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames if needed. If permission is required, we’ll supply drawings and specifications to support an application.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship and installation, covering issues such as post movement, hinge alignment and fixing integrity when used normally. Materials and automation components may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we register and explain clearly. We’ll also advise on maintenance—like oiling hinges and re-treating timber—to help your gate last. If something isn’t right after fitting, we return promptly to rectify it.
We supply timber gates (including closeboard, tongue-and-groove and framed ledged-and-braced styles) and metal gates in modern or traditional patterns. Popular choices include contemporary slatted timber for 1930s semis, powder-coated steel for low maintenance, and matching fencing panels for a consistent boundary. We can add key locks, digital access, intercoms and automation for driveway gates. We’ll guide you on privacy, security, wind exposure and the look that suits your frontage.
