Driveway gates, garden gates, sliding gates, automated gate systems. Designed in our Leeds workshop, fabricated by coded welders, fitted by the same team that built them. Written quotes inside three working days.
The drive gates outside your home are the first thing visitors see — and the last thing burglars want to deal with. They take the weather every day, the daily slam of busy hands, the occasional kerb knock from a reversing van. An off-the-shelf gate, bolted to whatever was nearest in stock, looks roughly right on the day. Two winters in, the cheap fixings have rusted out, the panels have warped, and you're back to the same problem with worse paint.
A bespoke gate is built the other way round. We measure the opening you actually have, with the slope your driveway actually rises at, in the style that suits your property — and your security needs — rather than whatever was cheapest to manufacture in volume. Then it's welded by coded fabricators, finished for British weather, and fitted by the people who made it.
Whether it's a single pedestrian gate for the side path or a pair of automated drive gates with intercom and access control, the principle's the same: get it right at the start, and you stop thinking about your gates for the next fifteen years.
Every gate we build is made-to-measure in our Leeds workshop. We work primarily with mild steel and stainless steel, finished to your specification. Standard ranges of designs are available as starting points, but every quote is sized, shaped and detailed for your specific opening.
Single and double swing gates, sliding gates, and cantilever designs for openings that won't accommodate a swing arc. Manufactured in mild steel for painted or powder-coated finishes, or stainless steel for contemporary properties. Available in any width and height to suit your entrance, with optional matching pedestrian gate alongside.
Side-entrance gates, rear-garden gates, and pathway gates — from simple functional designs through to ornamental pieces that complement period and heritage properties. Lockable or boltable as standard, with matching hinges and ironmongery.
We work with leading automation manufacturers to provide electric gate solutions. Swing or sliding automation can be fitted to brand-new gates we build for you, or retrofitted to existing gates that are structurally suitable. Intercoms, keypad entry, remote-control fobs and smartphone integration are all available as part of the package.
Every gate is cleaned, primed and finished before it leaves the workshop. The standard finish options are powder coating in any RAL colour, hot-dip galvanising for maximum corrosion protection, or traditional paint systems for heritage matching. For external gates exposed to the worst of British weather, we typically recommend galvanising plus powder coating in a single specification — the most durable finish we offer.
There's no such thing as a standard opening on a real driveway. We measure on site, account for slope, ground clearance and post foundations, and design the gate to fit. Heights typically range from 0.9m garden gates to 2.4m+ secure driveway gates. Decorative options include forged scrollwork, contemporary horizontal slats, vertical bar designs, and infill panels in timber or composite.
Standards: Welded by coded operatives certified to BS EN ISO 9606. Fabrication tested to BS 4872. Automated systems installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications and relevant electrical safety standards.
Send photos of the opening plus any reference styles you like. Sketches and rough ideas are welcome.
We measure on site, check ground levels, post locations and any access constraints. Free and no obligation.
CAD drawings and a written, itemised quote — typically inside three working days of the survey.
Built in our Leeds workshop by coded welders. Lead time is typically three to four weeks; we send photos at key stages.
Fitted by the same team that built it. Post foundations, hinge alignment, automation commissioning — handed over working.
Designed, fabricated and finished in our Junction Mills workshop. No subcontractors. No shipped-in parts pretending to be bespoke.
Our fabricators are certified to BS EN ISO 9606. Welding tickets are available on request — we'll happily share them.
We measure on site before quoting. No phone-call guesses, no surprise extras after the gates arrive on a van.
From the first photo you send to the day we hand over the keys, you're talking to one team. If something needs adjusting after install, we come back.
Rooted in West Yorkshire, working nationally. Our workshop is in Leeds. We fit residential gates routinely across Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region; for larger commercial gate systems and access projects we deliver and install UK-wide.
Not in West Yorkshire? Get in touch — we travel for the right project.
Three to four weeks from design approval to installation is typical, subject to current workload and project complexity. Automated gates can take an extra week to allow for the control system. We confirm a target install date at the point of quotation.
In most cases, yes. We assess the existing gates during the site survey — they need to be in sound structural condition and the swing arc or sliding track needs to be feasible. If automation isn't suitable, we'll tell you on the survey rather than after you've paid.
Sliding gates run on a ground track — best for level driveways with clear runback space. Cantilever gates carry their own weight from a counterbalanced post, with no ground track at all — best for driveways with uneven ground, drainage running across the entrance, or anywhere a track would collect debris. Both are viable for most domestic openings; we'll recommend the right one on survey.
Hot-dip galvanising, powder coating in any RAL colour, and traditional paint systems for heritage matching. Galvanising plus powder coating in a single specification is our standard recommendation for external gates — the longest-lasting protection we offer, and a clean look. Indoor or low-exposure gates can be painted with less aggressive systems.
For most residential driveways, gates under one metre high fronting a highway and gates under two metres elsewhere are permitted development — no planning permission required. Listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 zones often have additional rules. We're not planning consultants, but we'll flag anything obvious on the site survey and refer you to your local authority if needed.
It depends entirely on size, design complexity, finish, and whether you need automation. A simple pedestrian gate starts around the low hundreds; a pair of large automated driveway gates with intercom and remote can run into the low thousands. Every quote is written, itemised and subject to site survey — no surprises after the work starts.
Yes — every gate project starts with a free site survey. We measure the opening, check post locations and ground levels, talk through design options, and follow up with a written quote inside three working days. No obligation, no pressure.
