Garden gates in SM4 face unique challenges - from the sloped driveways near Morden Park to the tight alleyways characteristic of properties along Crown Lane. Material choice matters here; timber suits the leafier roads whilst powder-coated metal handles the busier thoroughfares better. Every installation considers your specific plot layout, existing boundaries, and how you actually use your outdoor space.
Post positioning requires careful calculation, particularly with Morden's clay-heavy soil that shifts seasonally. Concrete footings go deeper than standard to prevent sagging over time. Hardware selection balances security needs with daily convenience - a magnetic latch might suffice for internal divisions, but street-facing gates benefit from mortice locks and adjustable hinges that compensate for ground movement.
Twenty years fitting gates across South London means knowing which suppliers stock sizes that match local architecture. Direct relationships with fabricators allow custom solutions without lengthy waits, crucial when you're dealing with non-standard openings common in SM4's mix of housing stock.

Basic softwood gates start around £350-500 fitted, whilst bespoke hardwood or metal designs range £800-2000 depending on width and automation requirements. Side passage gates usually cost less than main entrance installations.
Absolutely - from the conservation areas near Morden Hall Park to the newer developments around St Helier station. Regular work across Lower Morden means familiarity with local planning considerations too.
Standard sizes take 3-5 days from order to completion. Bespoke metalwork needs 2-3 weeks for fabrication, though we can often secure openings temporarily if security is urgent.
All gates carry decade-long coverage against installation defects. Timber gates receive pressure-treated posts and marine-grade fixings as standard. Metal gates feature galvanised frameworks beneath powder coating for double protection.
Often yes, provided they're plumb and structurally sound. We'll assess during quotation - sometimes reinforcing existing posts costs less than full replacement whilst maintaining adequate support for heavier modern gates.
