Driveway Gates across London
A gate is only as good as the posts and foundations it hangs on. We set posts in concrete to the right depth, design the driveway so the gate opens and closes clearly, and plan cabling for automation where you want it.
We install swing gates, sliding gates and metal gates, in styles that suit the property. If you are building a new driveway, it is usually best to plan the gates at the same time. See driveway installation, security bollards and driveway lighting.
Why people add driveway gates
- To improve security and deter opportunists
- To keep children and pets safe
- To add privacy to the front of the house
- To give the property a more finished appearance
- To add automation so you do not leave the car

How we fit driveway gates
We survey the entrance, check the space and levels and agree the type of gate. We then excavate for the posts, set them in concrete and allow it to cure before hanging the gates. For automatic gates we plan the cable runs and power supply.
Where gates open onto the highway, there are rules on swing direction and visibility, and planning permission may apply for gates over a certain height. We explain what is relevant to your property.
How it works

Fit and test

Not sure which surface suits your property?
Resin, tarmac, block paving or stone: each has strengths. Tell us about your space and budget and we will recommend the right one and quote for it in writing.
Swing or sliding gates?
Swing gates suit most properties with room to open inwards. Sliding gates suit sloping drives or limited space but need a run-off alongside. We give you honest advice on what suits your frontage.
What affects the cost?
The cost depends on the type, size and material of the gates, the posts and groundwork and whether they are automated. We give a free written quote after a site visit.
