Costs vary by size, material and hardware. As a guide, a simple timber side gate typically starts around £250–£600 supplied and fitted, while larger driveway gates are often £1,200–£3,500+ depending on design. Metal gates are usually similar or slightly higher for bespoke work. Automation commonly adds £900–£2,500+ based on motors, power supply and controls. We’ll confirm after a site measure in SE19.
Most pedestrian or side gates can be installed in half a day to a full day once the gate is made. Driveway gates often take 1–2 days, especially if posts or brickwork need adjustment. Automation typically adds another day for wiring, commissioning and safety checks. Lead times depend on bespoke fabrication, finish curing, and whether ground levels or old fittings need remedial work.
In many cases, gates are permitted development, particularly for rear and side boundaries. Rules can change if the gate fronts a highway or exceeds certain heights, and extra care may be needed for listed buildings or conservation considerations. We’ll talk through your frontage, visibility and measurements, then advise if permission is likely. If required, we can help you prepare the details needed for Croydon’s planning process.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gate installations, covering issues such as fixing failure, alignment problems caused by installation, and post stability when installed by us. Manufacturer warranties apply to locks, automation components and specialist finishes, and we’ll pass those details on clearly. Normal wear, accidental damage and lack of basic maintenance aren’t covered, but we’ll advise on simple upkeep to maximise lifespan.
We install timber gates (including framed, ledged-and-braced, and closeboard styles) and metal gates in traditional or modern designs.
