A well-chosen garden gate does more than mark boundaries – it sets the tone for your entire property. From the leafy lanes of Kemsing to the conservation areas around Sevenoaks School, the right gate speaks volumes about what lies beyond.
Response within 24 hours
Sevenoaks properties often feature generous plots with mature hedging and established boundaries that deserve gates to match their character. Whether you're securing a Victorian villa's side passage or creating privacy for a modern build near Dunton Green station, gate selection requires careful consideration. Local planning restrictions, particularly in conservation areas, mean understanding both aesthetic and regulatory requirements matters.
Material choice depends heavily on your property's exposure – those hilltop homes around Otford face different weather patterns than sheltered gardens near Knole Park. Hardwood gates suit period properties but require annual treatment, whilst powder-coated aluminium offers longevity with minimal upkeep. Automation becomes particularly valuable on sloping driveways common throughout TN14, where manual operation proves awkward during wet weather.
Twenty years installing gates across the Sevenoaks district means knowing which hinges cope with chalky soil movement and which timbers resist the damp conditions near the Darent Valley. Every installation accounts for the specific challenges your location presents.
