What we install

Gate types weinstall and repair

Timber side gates

The most common request. We make and fit timber side gates in closeboard, framed ledge-and-brace, or slatted styles. All made to measure for your specific gap — side passages vary enormously.

Driveway entrance gates

Single or double driveway gates in timber, made to measure for your opening. We fit ring hinges into concrete posts or solid brick piers for a gate that will not drop or sag over time.

Matching your existing fence

If you have an existing closeboard fence and want the gate to match, we build it using the same materials — featheredge boards, same post treatment, same finish. The result looks like one seamless installation.

Gate replacements

Old gates that sag, bind on the floor or no longer latch properly are a very common job. We remove the old gate and post, re-concrete a new post if needed, and hang a new made-to-measure gate.

How we do it

The details that makea gate last

Most gates that fail do so because of two things: a sagging hinge or a collapsing post. We address both at the start. Posts are set in concrete — never just compacted soil — and we use ring hinges that are concreted or bolted into the post rather than screwed into the face, which shear out over time under the weight of the gate.

We use heavy-duty galvanised hardware throughout. Cheap stainless bolts and pressed hinges rust, strip and fail within a few years. A decent gate properly hung on proper hardware should last as long as the fence itself.

All timber is pressure-treated. Gates have more weather exposure than a fence because they are not flush to the wall — if you treat the timber properly at the outset, a light annual oil is all the maintenance they need.

Pricing

What does a gardengate cost?

A single timber side gate fully fitted — including the post if needed — typically starts from £300–£500. A pair of driveway entrance gates will be more, depending on the width of the opening, the gate design and whether new posts are required.

Size, access and ground conditions all affect the final price. The best way to get a proper number is to call us, tell us about the job, and we will arrange a free visit to measure up and quote.

Common questions

Garden gatequestions answered

How long does it take to fit a garden gate?+
A single side gate installation — including any post work — typically takes half a day. If the post needs replacing or we are installing a new post into concrete, we will need to let it cure before hanging the gate, which can mean a second short visit. We will tell you the plan when we quote.
Can you make a gate to a non-standard size?+
Yes — this is the norm rather than the exception. Most side passages are not a standard 900mm wide, and driveway openings vary considerably. We measure the exact opening and make the gate to fit. If you have an unusual width, a sloped threshold, or a tight clearance, just mention it when we visit.
My old gate is sagging and will not close — can you fix it?+
Sometimes, yes. A gate that is sagging usually has either a failing hinge, a collapsing post, or a frame that has gone out of square. If the post is solid and the hinge can be replaced or shimmed, we can repair it. If the post has rotted below ground, it is generally better to replace the gate and post together rather than patch a failing system.
Do you fit locks on gates?+
We fit quality slide bolts and drop bolts as standard. If you want a keyed lock — for security or to comply with an insurance requirement — we can source and fit an appropriate lock at the same time. Just let us know when we visit.
How much does a garden gate cost?+
A single timber side gate fully fitted starts from around £300–£500 for a standard 6ft-high closeboard or framed gate. A pair of driveway gates will be more, depending on the width of the opening and the gate design. We will measure up and give you a written quote before any work begins.
