Thornton Heath's diverse architecture demands thoughtful gate solutions. From the compact frontages along Parchmore Road to the more spacious plots near Grangewood Park, each property presents unique challenges. Local homeowners often struggle with narrow access points, uneven ground levels, and the need to balance security with kerb appeal in this busy South London neighbourhood.
Material selection plays a crucial role in longevity, especially with CR7's variable weather patterns. Hardwood options like oak or iroko withstand the damp winters whilst developing character over time. Metal alternatives – particularly powder-coated aluminium – resist corrosion without the maintenance headaches. Side access gates require careful measurement, particularly in those tight alleyways common to Edwardian properties throughout South Norwood borders.
Twenty-three years fitting gates across South London teaches you which hinges won't sag after a thousand openings. Local knowledge means understanding why Broad Green's clay soil shifts differently than Selhurst's sandier patches.
