Serangoon Gardens is auto-gate-dense. Almost every terrace and semi-detached home here has an existing motorised gate, mostly installed in the 1990s and 2000s, so the current demand is heavily skewed toward motor replacement and gate refurbishment rather than first-time installation.
Why Serangoon Gardens
Driveways are typically short here — single-vehicle terrace driveways with tight clearance to the road. Swing gates often hit the kerb if not specified carefully, so we sometimes recommend a sliding system even on driveways narrow enough that swing would seem like the obvious choice. Pillar age is also a consideration — many original 1980s pillars are no longer plumb and need rebuilding before a new gate is hung.
Value-tier pricing applies, S$3,500–S$8,000 for most full gate replacements. Motor-only replacements run S$1,200–S$2,500. Italian and German motor brands are widely specified despite the budget orientation because the labour cost of repeat callouts on cheaper motors quickly erases any savings.
A terrace off Berwick Drive had its 1996 swing gate replaced with a 3.5-metre aluminium sliding gate after the original swing arc hit the kerb on uneven ground. Motor and pillar rebuild completed in 4 days.

Swing gates open inward/outward on hinges — more affordable and classic-looking but need driveway clearance. Sliding gates run along a track parallel to your wall — better for short driveways or slopes but need wall space beside the opening. Sliding gates cost 20–30% more.
Basic single-panel aluminium swing gates start from $3,500. Mid-range systems with custom design and intercom run $6,000–$12,000. Premium stainless steel gates with smart home integration cost $15,000–$25,000.
Yes. We install smart gate systems that connect to your phone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You can open/close remotely, receive alerts when the gate is operated, and integrate with smart home platforms like Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
