Our Gate Services

We provide comprehensive gate solutions from initial consultation through to installation and adjustment. Whether you need a simple side gate, impressive entrance gates, or automated driveway access, our team delivers results that enhance security and aesthetics.

Garden Side Gates

Side gates provide secure access to rear gardens whilst preventing unwanted entry. We supply and install timber side gates offering traditional appearance and versatile styles, metal side gates providing enhanced security and durability, composite gates combining wood aesthetics with minimal maintenance, and bespoke gates designed for specific openings or requirements.

Side gate installation includes proper hanging ensuring smooth operation, appropriate latches and locks for security, matching posts or integration with existing structures, and adjustment for perfect fit and function.

Entrance and Feature Gates

Entrance gates create impressive arrivals whilst defining property boundaries. We install pair gates for driveways and wide openings, single gates for pedestrian entrances, decorative gates as garden features, and custom designed gates reflecting individual style.

Quality entrance gates make powerful statements about properties. We source gates in various styles from traditional designs to contemporary metalwork, ensuring options suited to every property type.

Driveway Gates

Driveway gates provide security, privacy, and kerb appeal. We supply and install timber driveway gates for traditional character, metal gates offering strength and elegance, automated gates with electric operation, and security gates with enhanced locking systems.

Driveway gate installation requires precision ensuring gates operate smoothly, proper posts or pillars supporting weight, adequate clearance for vehicle access, and appropriate automation where required.

Automated Gate Systems

Automated gates provide convenience and enhanced security. We install electric swing gates opening outwards or inwards, sliding gates for restricted spaces, underground automation for invisible operation, and above-ground systems for easier maintenance.

Automation includes remote controls for convenient operation, safety sensors preventing accidents, manual override for power failures, and integration with intercoms or access control systems.

Professional installation ensures reliable operation meeting safety regulations. We never compromise on automation quality as poor systems cause endless frustration.

Pedestrian Gates and Wicket Gates

Smaller pedestrian gates provide convenient access without opening large driveway gates. We install wicket gates integrated into larger gate installations, pedestrian gates alongside driveways, and garden access gates for paths and boundaries.

Kissing Gates and Field Gates

Rural properties or larger gardens may require specialist gates including kissing gates controlling livestock whilst allowing pedestrian access, field gates for agricultural use, and estate-style gates for park-like settings.

Gate Materials and Styles

Understanding different gate materials helps you choose appropriately for your requirements.

Timber Gates

Timber offers versatility, traditional appeal, and natural beauty. We supply various timber gate styles including traditional five-bar gates for rural character, tongue-and-groove gates providing solid privacy, picket gates creating cottage aesthetics, contemporary slatted gates for modern properties, and bespoke gates crafted to specific designs.

Timber choices include pressure-treated softwood for cost-effective durability, European oak for premium longevity and appearance, Iroko or other hardwoods for tropical timber alternatives, and accoya or thermowood for enhanced stability.

Quality timber gates, properly maintained, provide decades of service whilst looking increasingly characterful as they mature.

Metal Gates

Metal gates offer strength, security, and diverse design possibilities. We supply wrought iron gates providing traditional elegance, mild steel gates offering versatility and affordability, stainless steel gates for contemporary aesthetics, and aluminium gates combining strength with minimal maintenance.

Metal finishes include galvanised coating for rust protection, powder coating in various colours, painted finishes matching property details, and natural patinas for authentic weathered appearance.

Metal gates suit both traditional properties with ornate designs and contemporary homes with minimalist metalwork.

Composite Gates

Composite materials combine wood fibres with plastics creating gates that never need painting or treating whilst maintaining wood-like appearance. Composite gates suit clients wanting traditional aesthetics without ongoing maintenance demands.

Quality composite gates resist weathering, won’t rot or splinter, and maintain appearance for decades with minimal care.

Gate Design Considerations

Creating successful gate installations involves numerous considerations beyond simply choosing attractive designs.

Style and Aesthetics

Gates should complement existing property architecture and fencing. Traditional properties often suit timber five-bar gates or ornate metalwork. Contemporary homes benefit from minimalist designs with clean lines. Cottage-style properties work well with picket or tongue-and-groove gates.

We’ll recommend styles coordinating with house materials, existing boundaries, and overall property character.

Size and Proportions

Gates must suit openings and purposes. Driveway gates require adequate width for vehicle access typically 3-4 metres for single gates or 2.4-3 metres for pairs. Height should balance privacy with proportion, avoiding gates that appear too tall or inadequate for openings.

Side gates fit within existing openings between properties or structures. Accurate measurement ensures proper fit without expensive modifications.

Security Requirements

Security needs influence gate selection. High-security situations may require solid gates preventing visibility, robust locks and latches, automated operation with access control, and integration with CCTV or alarm systems.

Residential security typically needs good quality locks, substantial construction, and perhaps automation. We’ll recommend appropriate security levels for your situation.

Privacy Needs

Gates can provide complete privacy with solid designs, partial screening with slatted arrangements, or open aesthetics with decorative metalwork or picket styles. Consider whether you want gates preventing views into properties or more open designs maintaining visibility.

Access and Operation

Consider how gates will be used. Frequently used gates benefit from easy operation and perhaps automation. Occasional-use gates may need only simple latches. Elderly or disabled users require gates operating smoothly without excessive force.

We ensure all gates operate appropriately for intended use patterns and user capabilities.

Gate Posts and Pillars

Gates require substantial support ensuring smooth operation and longevity.

Timber Posts

Timber gates typically hang from timber posts. We install posts using pressure-treated timber resisting rot, adequate sizing supporting gate weight, proper depth preventing movement, and concrete foundations ensuring stability.

Post tops can be flat, rounded, or fitted with decorative finials coordinating with gate styles.

Brick or Stone Pillars

Brick pillars create impressive entrances supporting gates with substantial, permanent structures. We build pillars with proper foundations preventing settlement, adequate sizing and reinforcement for gate loads, decorative caps or coping stones, and integrated gate furniture including hinges and latches.

Brick pillars can match existing property materials or provide complementary contrast. Stone pillars suit heritage properties or formal entrances.

Metal Posts

Metal gates often use steel posts providing strength in slimmer profiles than timber. Posts can be galvanised steel for durability, powder-coated matching gate finishes, or stainless steel for contemporary installations.

Gate Hardware and Accessories

Quality hardware ensures gates operate smoothly and securely.

Hinges

Appropriate hinges are crucial for smooth operation. We fit heavy-duty hinges sized for gate weight, adjustable hinges allowing fine-tuning, self-closing hinges where appropriate, and decorative hinges coordinating with gate styles.

Proper hinge installation ensures gates swing freely without binding or sagging.

Latches and Locks

Gates require appropriate closing mechanisms. Options include thumb latches for traditional aesthetics, auto-latches closing automatically, digital locks for keyless access, padlock hasps for additional security, and electromagnetic locks for automated gates.

We’ll recommend security appropriate for your needs and situation.

Gate Closers

Self-closing mechanisms ensure gates remain closed. Spring closers provide simple automatic closing, hydraulic closers offer controlled gentle closing, and overhead closers suit specific applications.

Closers particularly suit gates where security or pet containment requires reliable closing.

Gate Stops

Stops prevent gates over-swinging damaging hinges or adjacent structures. Ground stops, post-mounted stops, or integral stop features protect gates and ensure longevity.

Gate Installation Process

Professional installation ensures gates operate perfectly and remain trouble-free for decades.

Site Survey and Measurement

Accurate measurement is crucial. We survey openings precisely, check levels and plumb, note any restrictions or challenges, and verify clearances for gate swing or slide.

Measurements account for hinge and latch furniture ensuring gates fit properly when fully installed.

Post or Pillar Installation

Gate supports must be absolutely stable. We excavate holes to adequate depths typically 600-900mm depending on gate size, install posts or build pillars perfectly vertical, use substantial concrete foundations, and allow proper curing before hanging gates.

Post positioning ensures gates hang properly with appropriate clearances and swing arcs.

Gate Hanging and Adjustment

We hang gates carefully ensuring perfect vertical and horizontal alignment, smooth operation without binding, appropriate clearances above ground, and secure fixing of all hardware.

Adjustment ensures gates close properly, latches engage correctly, and operation is smooth throughout swing.

Automation Installation

Automated systems require additional installation including mounting actuators or operators, running electrical supplies meeting regulations, installing control systems and safety sensors, and programming operation parameters.

We commission automated systems thoroughly ensuring reliable operation and user understanding.

Gate Maintenance

Proper maintenance keeps gates operating smoothly for decades.

Timber Gate Care

Timber gates benefit from annual treatment with wood preservative or paint maintaining weather protection and appearance. Check hinges and latches for tightness, oil moving parts annually, and inspect for rot or damage addressing issues promptly.

Metal Gate Maintenance

Metal gates require minimal maintenance. Annual inspection checks for rust or damage, lubrication keeps hinges and latches operating smoothly, and touching up paint or powder coating protects against corrosion.

Automation Maintenance

Automated systems need periodic attention including checking safety sensors, lubricating moving parts, testing manual override operation, and professional servicing every few years.

Combining Gates with Garden Features

Gates work beautifully integrated with other garden elements. We coordinate gate installation with fencing projects ensuring consistent styles and quality throughout boundaries.

Brick pillars can match existing walls or complement driveway materials. Lighting integrated into pillars or posts illuminates entrances beautifully whilst enhancing security.

Planting around gates softens structures and creates welcoming entrances. Many clients coordinate gate installation with complete garden redesign projects ensuring cohesive results throughout properties.
