      Most of our gates are kept simple with a few arched but a growing number are also including a trellis top rather than fleur de lis or spikes

    • What colours are available for your composite gates?

    • How do you fit your composite gates?

      This will depend on the size of your gates and the condition of the potential fixing points. If your existing brickwork, concrete post or wall will not provide an adequate fix then we will install metal posts into the ground to provide a secure fixing point. 

      For sliding driveway gates we will dig a trench so that the rail guide has a suitable strong fixing too.. 

    • Composite Gates vs. Wood Gates: Which is the Better Option?

      When it comes to choosing between composite gates and standard wooden gates, the better option will be composite when budget allows.. Composite gates are made from a mixture of wood fibers and recycled plastic, which makes them highly durable and resistant to weather conditions. They require minimal maintenance, especially if made by ourselves and framed in metal and are less likely to warp or rot compared to wooden gates. They can be customised on the frame tops and provide a secure and robust housing for locks compared to just wood. Wooden gates require regular maintenance, such as staining or sealing, to protect them from moisture and insect damage but this does allow you to change the colour of them inexpensively. Ultimately, the better option will depend primarily on individual preferences, budget, and the specific needs of the property, however, as you can see composite has a much longer list of pros.
