Gates & Railings Putney

Electric gates are the most in-demand product we install across Putney and SW15. The combination of high property values, large Victorian and Edwardian homes, and the security needs of a busy South West London suburb drives consistent demand from homeowners across West Putney, East Putney, and Putney Hill.

We install electric gates for residential properties of all types — from period terraces near the High Street with narrower entrances to substantial detached houses on the elevated Putney Hill roads with wide driveways and significant kerb appeal requirements. For commercial properties along Lower Richmond Road and Putney High Street, we install electric gates for offices, yards, and mixed-use developments where controlled access is the priority.

Driveway gates in Putney cover both manual and electric options, and the right choice depends on the specific property and its location within SW15.

For West Putney and Putney Hill properties, bespoke fabricated driveway gates are almost always the right approach. Entrance widths on these roads regularly exceed 4.5 metres, taking them beyond standard catalogue gate sizes. The existing boundary walls and gate piers have their own character that a new gate must respond to rather than ignore.

For Victorian terraces closer to the High Street and the Thames, above-ground electric swing gates on standard openings are the most practical specification. Where driveway depth is limited or the entrance slopes toward the road, sliding gates are the right answer.

Putney's conservation areas — West Putney, Oxford Road, Dover House Estate, Putney Lower Common, and Roehampton Village — require gate designs that are sensitive to the architectural character of the area. We flag any planning or conservation area considerations during the site survey. For full guidance, see our planning permission guide for London driveway gates.

Under Wandsworth Council conservation areas guidance and HSE guidelines for powered gate installations, all electric gates must include photocells, safety edges, and a force compliance test at handover. We include all safety documentation as standard.

Metal railings are in strong and consistent demand across Putney. Period ironwork has been lost or poorly replaced on many SW15 streets, and restoring it with a well-proportioned steel railing that matches the original character transforms the frontage of a Putney period property significantly.
