We handle timber garden and driveway gates as well as metal security driveway gates, ensuring hinges are aligned, posts reinforced, and latches fitted for reliable daily use. Timber gates are constructed using closeboard or loglap panels, depending on client preference, whilst metal security gates are made from galvanised or powder-coated steel for strength and durability.
Every installation accounts for swing clearance, ground levels, and weight distribution to keep gates operating smoothly over time. Competitive pricing reflects honest workmanship and quality materials, giving you a neat, secure entrance point that serves your property well.

Our Gate Installation Process
We begin by assessing the gate location, measuring the opening, and discussing your requirements for size, material, security, and access. Gates can range from small garden gates through to large timber driveway gates, with materials selected to suit usage and appearance. Posts are either installed new or reinforced if existing posts are suitable, ensuring they can support the gate’s weight and usage.
Hinges are fitted at correct heights and angles, accounting for gate sag over time and any ground slope. Swing clearance is checked to ensure the gate opens fully without catching on surfaces or adjacent structures. Latches and locks are installed for secure, smooth operation, and all hardware is tested before we complete the work. The finished gate is adjusted for precise alignment, and we provide guidance on basic maintenance to keep it working well.
Gate Installation FAQs
How do you prevent gates from sagging over time?
We use reinforced posts, heavy-duty hinges, and appropriate bracing to distribute weight evenly. Hinge placement is carefully set to minimise stress points, and posts are installed with solid concrete foundations. This method ensures timber and metal gates remain level and operational with regular use.
Can you fit gates to existing fence posts?
If existing posts are structurally sound, correctly positioned, and strong enough to support the gate’s weight, we can use them. We assess condition and reinforce where required. If posts are unsuitable, we recommend replacements to ensure long-term reliability.
What gate materials do you install?
We install timber gates using closeboard or loglap panels for garden and driveway applications. For higher security requirements, we also fit metal driveway gates manufactured from galvanised or powder-coated steel.
How much clearance does a gate need to swing properly?
Typically, 10mm to 20mm clearance is required beneath the gate to prevent dragging on uneven ground or paving.We also check for obstructions within the swing arc and allow for minor ground movement over time.
Can you install gates on sloped or uneven terrain?
Yes. We adjust hinge positions and gate angles to suit slopes, ensuring smooth operation without compromising security or appearance. Posts are installed plumb to maintain correct alignment.
What lock options are available for secure gate access?
We offer a range of latch and lock options including padlock-compatible fittings, keyed locks, and secure closing mechanisms. All hardware is selected for outdoor durability and reliable day-to-day use.
