From the Royal Arsenal to Woolwich Town Centre, properties across SE18 often need gates that balance privacy with practical access. We design and install side gates, pedestrian gates and driveway gates that suit your frontage and garden layout. Whether you want a simple latch gate for a side passage or a statement entrance for a driveway, we tailor every detail. Finishes are selected to cope with London weather and daily use.
Woolwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and newer apartments, each with different access points and boundary lines. Narrow side returns and shared paths are common in older streets, while modern developments may need sleek metalwork and controlled entry. We measure carefully, account for uneven paving and brick piers, and specify hinges and posts to prevent sagging. If you’re in Plumstead or Charlton, we can also match new gates to existing fencing runs for a consistent look.
Our process starts with a site visit, clear options and a written specification covering materials, hardware and finishes. Gates are fabricated to fit, installed plumb, and tested for smooth swing and secure closure. We offer upgrades such as key locks, digital access and automation with safety features. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, dependable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we plan around controlled parking zones and busy routes near the Woolwich Ferry. Many SE18 homes have tight access, shared alleyways and older brickwork that needs careful fixing points. We use suitable post systems where ground levels vary and avoid damage to paving and utilities. If your property sits within a managed development, we can align designs with estate guidelines and existing railings.

Costs vary by size, material and hardware. A simple timber side gate with basic ironmongery often starts around £250–£600 supplied and fitted. Heavier driveway gates, bespoke metalwork, or pair gates typically range from £1,200–£3,500+. Automation, intercoms and upgraded locks can add £800–£2,500 depending on specification. We’ll survey your opening and provide options to suit your budget and security needs.
Most side or pedestrian gates can be installed in half a day to a full day once the gate is ready. Driveway gates or setups requiring new posts, groundworks or matching fencing usually take 1–3 days. If you choose automation, allow extra time for power supply, safety devices and commissioning—often another day. Timescales depend on access, curing time for concrete, and whether bespoke fabrication is required.
In many cases, garden and driveway gates are permitted development, but there are limits—particularly for gates facing a highway and for overall height. Corner plots and properties near busy roads can have stricter rules, and listed buildings or conservation considerations may apply in parts of Woolwich. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can advise on measurements and placement. If permission is needed, we help you prepare the details required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our gate installations, covering issues such as fixings, alignment and installation-related movement under normal use. Materials and automation components carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and finish. We also advise on maintenance—such as re-sealing timber or lubricating hinges—to extend lifespan. If something doesn’t feel right after fitting, we’ll return to inspect and put it right.
We install timber gates (including framed ledged-and-braced and slatted designs) and metal gates in modern or traditional styles. Popular options include vertical bar pedestrian gates for visibility, close-boarded timber for privacy, and driveway pairs with matching side panels. You can choose from manual latches, key locks, deadbolts, and automated systems with keypad or remote access. We’ll recommend designs that suit your property style and security priorities in the garden gates Woolwich area.
