From mansion blocks off Victoria Street to mews entrances near Pimlico, the right gate needs to look smart and work flawlessly every day. Fine Landscaping supplies and installs side gates, driveway gates and pedestrian gates tailored to your access and security needs. We can match new gates to existing fencing lines and brick piers for a cohesive frontage. If you’re close to Victoria station or Westminster Cathedral, we’ll plan deliveries and fitting to minimise disruption.
The Victoria area includes Georgian townhouses in Belgravia, period conversions in St James's and modern apartments with shared entrances and tight access. We’re used to working with narrow side returns, basement lightwells and communal boundaries where hinges, opening arcs and latch positions matter. For larger frontages, we can design driveway gates that complement railings and boundary walls. If you need a discreet solution, we also fit pedestrian gates that blend into matching fencing panels.
We start with a site visit to measure openings, check levels and confirm swing/slide clearance, then recommend materials, finishes and locking options. Every installation is set out carefully for smooth operation, with hinges and posts chosen for the gate’s weight and exposure. We keep the site clean, protect paving and planting, and test closures and locks before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, quality joinery/metalwork and a clear 10-year warranty.
Access around SW1 can be tight, with controlled parking and busy streets near Victoria station. We schedule installs to suit loading restrictions and protect shared entrances in mansion blocks. Many properties have older brickwork and uneven thresholds, so we allow for careful setting-out and packers to keep gates square. Where boundaries face public footways, we advise on safe opening directions and robust locking.

Costs vary by size, material and hardware. As a guide, a simple timber side gate typically starts around £450–£900 supplied and fitted, while metal pedestrian gates are often £700–£1,500. Double driveway gates commonly fall between £1,800–£4,500, and automation can add £1,200–£3,000 depending on power supply and controls. We’ll survey in SW1 and provide a detailed breakdown.
Most side or pedestrian gates can be installed in half a day to a full day once the gate is ready. Driveway gates usually take 1–2 days, and automated systems may take 2–3 days if cabling, groundworks or power connections are required. Timescales depend on access, the condition of posts/piers, and whether matching fencing repairs are needed. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but there are limits on height and placement, especially where gates front a highway. In the City of Westminster, additional considerations can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, or shared frontages. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can help you check the relevant guidance before you commit to a design. When in doubt, we recommend written confirmation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as fixing failure, post movement due to poor setting, and misalignment caused by incorrect fitting. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific components like automation motors, locks and coated metal finishes, and we’ll pass those details on clearly. Timber gates still need routine care; we’ll advise on staining/painting and maintenance to keep everything operating smoothly.
We supply timber gates (including closeboard, tongue-and-groove and framed ledged-and-braced styles) and metal gates in traditional or contemporary designs. Popular options in SW1 include vertical bar metalwork to match railings, solid timber for privacy, and pedestrian gates with discreet self-closers. We can add automation for driveway gates, plus keypad, fob or intercom access. We’ll recommend a design that suits your property and security needs.
