What South London asks of a gate
Small fronts on Victorian streets
From Streatham and Balham to Dulwich and Norwood, most streets are Victorian and Edwardian terraces with a short front garden, a low wall and a place for the bins. A gate there has to open without hitting the bins or the step, often in a gap under a metre wide. Each gate is made to the measured opening, and many South London boroughs have conservation areas where a plain, dark gate at wall height is the safe choice.
The side return
On semis and end terraces in Tooting, Sydenham and Mitcham the side passage is the easy way into the back garden, and the gate across it is the one a burglar tries. It should be solid, full height and lockable from inside, with no rails on the street side to climb. Composite boards do not rot at the bottom the way a timber passage gate does.
Flats and shared houses
Many South London houses are split into flats or let to sharers, and a gate key gets copied and lost. A keypad or code lock means nobody needs a key, and the code can be changed when tenants move on. A self-closer on the gate keeps it shut behind whoever forgets.
Boards and frame colours
Composite boards
Board ranges vary from one fabricator to another, but they can fit almost any make. If you have seen a board you like, send the name or a photo and the fabricator will tell you whether it can be used.
Steel frames
Frames can be powder coated in almost any RAL colour. Black suits the Victorian streets, and anthracite sits well with newer front doors.

FAQs about Composite Gates in South London
How much do composite gates cost in South London?
As a guide, a single side or garden gate is around £900 to £1,500 fabricated and fitted, and a pair of driveway gates runs from around £1,800 to £5,000 or more. The width, the lock and the board colour all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Our front gap is narrow and the bins sit behind it. Will a gate fit?
Yes. Each gate is made to the measured gap and hung to swing clear of the bins and the step.
Can a side gate be made more secure?
Yes. A solid, full-height gate with no rails on the outside and a lock that works from inside.
We rent out rooms. Is there an alternative to keys?
A keypad or code lock, with the code changed when tenants move out.
Why do you ask for photos before visiting?
The fabricators on our network cover a wide area, so a visit can mean a long round trip. Photos and a rough width let them give you a provisional price first, and the visit to measure only happens once you are happy with it. You are not waiting in for someone only to find the price does not suit.
Do you cover Streatham, Dulwich and Purley?
Yes, along with Balham, Tooting, Norwood, Sydenham, Mitcham and the areas around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
