Electric gates and railings in Barnet
Railings that bring a period frontage back to how it should look, and a gate that keeps your drive for you. Barnet is where our Hertfordshire routes meet London, and our team fits driveway gates and railings on its Victorian and Edwardian streets, automates gates already on the drive, and handles commercial gate, barrier and bollard work across the borough.
Railings and gates made for Barnet streets
Barnet is a London borough that still feels like a set of towns: Chipping Barnet and High Barnet at the top of the hill, then Whetstone, Finchley, Mill Hill and Hendon spreading south. The houses are largely Victorian and Edwardian, many of them substantial detached and semi-detached homes, with a great many conservation areas and frontages that had railings once, before they were taken out.
So there are two clear jobs for us here. Railings across front boundaries, made to the run and to a pattern that suits the house, not cut from a stock panel. And gates across driveways, which in Barnet are as much about stopping everybody else using your drive as they are about security. We make both in our own workshop in Berkhamsted, and our own teams fit them.
On the commercial side, it's the borough's trade counters, small industrial units, managed blocks and car parks: barriers, bollards and access control, with a clear record of what's been done for whoever manages the site. Barnet is close enough to our Hertfordshire routes that it's a normal call for us, not a special trip.
What we do across Barnet
Railings for Victorian and Edwardian frontages
Garden and boundary railings made to the run, fixed into the ground or into the top of an existing wall, in a traditional pattern or plain vertical bar to suit the house.
Driveway gates that open as you arrive
Gates made to your opening and automated, with an intercom or keypad at the road. In a London borough, access usually shapes the job, so we survey before we quote.
Barriers, bollards and maintenance for commercial sites
Car park barriers, bollards and controlled entrances on trade units, managed blocks and commercial car parks, looked after on any make with a documented job report after every visit.
Good to know in Barnet
There's nowhere to park and the drive is narrow. Is that a problem?
No. It's normal in Barnet, but it does need planning rather than discovering on the day. At the survey we look at access, parking and how material gets to the opening, and we build it into the quote. Where groundworks are needed on or near a public footway there may be a permit to arrange, and we'll tell you that up front.
Do you cover the whole borough or just High Barnet?
The whole borough, and the boroughs around it. Barnet sits on the routes our engineers already run between Hertfordshire and north London, so Whetstone, Finchley, Mill Hill, Hendon and Totteridge are all normal calls for us.
