Hi there


Like lots of people in ED and Camberwell I live in a Victorian terraced house with stairs and bannisters. I'm interested to know what other people have done about stair gates. In particular which ones will work when there is a wall on one side and bannisters on the other. Can I use pressure fit or do they need to be attached? Which brand to people recommend. I've attached pictures below of the two places I want a gate complete with kamikaze baby in one of them.


Many thanks in advance

Ha, I saw that also and thought genius! We screwed one of the cups that come with the gates into the post at the bottom which then provides a flat surface for the gate.

It does damage the post though, have found some form of remedial work always necessary after stair gates but unavoidable really...

    • On the lookout for boxes for moving. If anyone has any going, I’d be very appreciative. My number is 07538570543. Thank you, Jeanie 
    • Thats the most WTF mental road scheme in London. I drive it every day hoping that I might see a cyclist making the most of this crazy road. I rarely see one, certainly fewer than one a day. I can’t help noticing that Southwark and Lewisham are under the spell of Sadiq Khan's innumerate gnomes. But that’s the green lobby for you all mouth and no maths. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for saving the planet, I just want to know that properly dressed grownups who don’t have blue streaked hair are in charge of that. Oh well, I’m off to Sainsburys with my three small kids to do my weekly shop now. They’ll have to carry their share of the bags as we fight to get on the bus. Then they’ll have to walk the half mile from the stop to our house. Maybe I’ll get one of those child murderer cargo bikes and a grin of unmerited entitlement.  There We Are Then.
    • Is the skate park going to remain? Would love to think yes, but prob not.
    • I find that if you give your name and mobile number when replying and say when you can collect (eg I can collect this evening at X) you are far more likely to be successful.  I also prioritise people who say please and thank you - simple manners.  You can also block people who fail to show or respond in a timely manner.
