Frequently Asked Questions
Will removal damage my walls?
The gates already made holes - we remove the fixings and fill those holes properly. When painted, you won't know gates were ever there.
Can you remove pressure-fit gates?
Yes - these are easier as they don't make holes. We just remove the gate and any marks left on the walls or woodwork.
What about multiple gates?
We remove as many as needed in one visit. Most families have 2-4 gates that all need removing at once.
Should I keep the gates?
Your choice - they might be useful for resale or another child. We'll leave them for you or take them away, whichever you prefer.
