Getting a garden gate fitted

8 replies

I need a garden gate fitted on the wall in my garden, there is nothing there at all at the moment. How do I go about getting someone to fit it? It would need to be supplied and fitted so I don't want to hand over money to someone to get it and they never come back (happened to someone I know) and how much roughly would this cost??? Any ideas?

Fencing supply companies also have gates and would more than likely fit them.

Do you have a photo? What kind of gate?

This is my garden. I live in a ground floor maisonette. The blue door is the communal door to the upstairs flats. My garden is sole use but I've been told that the upstairs flats are going to start storing there bins in the cupboard (it's directly opposite the blue door) since I've lived here the wheelie bins have always been kept out the front so I feel I will be losing my privacy as several other people will now be able to walk into my garden. The white door you can see in the pic is a door that next door has put up themselves to privatise there garden, so I want something on my side. As you can see in the pic that red mark on the wall looks like something was there but was removed. I was thinking a wooden gate?? Not a full door like next door (I imagine that will be pretty expensive)

So you want it tall and lockable (to physically keep people out) or more indicative of the boundary? Are you worried about people seeing in?

Something like this??

Just don't want to lose my privacy, I don't know the people in the flats and it's private but rented out so since I've been here there's been 3 different groups of people living there.

I think you'll need some kind of panel to one side as well as the gate and posts. So maybe £70 for the gate, another £70 for the other bits and possibly labour costing as much as materials would be my rough guess. £280ish all in. Can anyone recommend you a handy man?

No that's the thing, so I'm looking at getting someone online but don't really want to hand over the money for the materials and then them not coming back. So not sure how to go about it.
