Metal Gate Installation in Surrey
Security and kerb appeal, metal driveway and garden gates installed by GK Landscapes across Surrey, including electric gate systems.
Metal Gates Done Properly
Metal gates offer a level of security and visual presence that wooden gates cannot match. A set of well-specified metal driveway gates on brick or stone pillars makes an immediate statement and significantly improves property security.
GK Landscapes installs metal driveway gates, side gates and garden gates, including electric gate systems with intercom and remote access. Every metal gate installation includes properly specified posts or pillars, correct hinge and hardware specification for the gate weight, and adjustment to ensure smooth, reliable operation.
Our portfolio includes powder-coated steel electric driveway gates with brick pillars, a striking project that transformed the kerb appeal and security of the property. This is specialist work that few local landscaping contractors take on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Electric driveway gates are generally permitted development for residential properties. However, if your gates are in a conservation area, on a listed building, or over 2m in height adjacent to a highway, additional rules may apply. Patrick checks planning requirements at every site visit.
Manual metal driveway gates typically cost £800–£2,500 supplied and installed depending on size and specification. Electric gate systems (with automation, intercom and remote control) start at around £2,500 and range up to £6,000+ for larger, more complex installations. Patrick provides a detailed written quote after the site visit.
Powder-coated steel gates need minimal maintenance, an occasional wipe-down to remove dirt and an inspection of hinges and hardware annually. The automation system on electric gates should be serviced every 1–2 years to keep it running reliably.
Sometimes, it depends on the existing gate weight, size, post condition and hinge specification. If the gates are structurally sound and the posts are solid, automation can often be retrofitted. Patrick assesses this at a site visit.
The most popular finish is black powder coating, which is durable and weather-resistant. Other colours are available to order. Galvanised steel beneath the powder coat provides an additional layer of corrosion protection.
