How we build wooden gates in Camden
Iroko hardwood, oak or planed softwood on hot-dip galvanised ironmongery. Standard build: 44mm framed, tongue-and-groove infill, adjustable ball-race hinges, drop bolt to slabs. On Camden jobs we adjust for listed-building and conservation constraints across most postcodes — timber and painted profiles only at the front.
Property mix locally: Georgian and Victorian townhouses in Primrose Hill and Hampstead, plus dense terraces around Kentish Town and Gospel Oak. Typical gardens: small walled courtyards behind period houses; several conservation areas restrict visible materials. Postcodes we regularly service: NW1, NW3, NW5, N7, WC1.
Common Camden briefs
