Planned visits for gates and security ironwork
Opening type confirmed
We identify vehicle, pedestrian or framed access before the survey.
Automation discussed early
Movement, controls and manual release enter the plan from the start.
Return fitting arranged
Finished metalwork is brought back and installed at measured positions.
Set out the access requirements before measuring
A useful first discussion should establish what needs controlling, the approximate opening size and how vehicles or people move through it. As a gate maker serving Stockport, we plan property visits for driveway gates, electric entrances and security grilles. Photographs help us understand whether the opening includes existing posts, frames or restricted swing space. At the survey, we confirm dimensions, levels, hardware positions and the access needed for fitting.
Follow a clear workshop-to-property process
Once we have measured your Stockport project and agreed the design, we use those site details for workshop fabrication. Powder coating is applied before the completed ironwork is prepared for the return visit. Driveway leaves are transported back for hanging and alignment, while grilles are positioned around their measured frames and locking points. Automated layouts also require planned movement, controls, manual release and appropriate safety equipment.
Frequently asked questions
What details should I provide about an electric gate?
Tell us the approximate entrance width, current posts or walls, vehicle route and whether you have considered automation before. Photographs are helpful. We then inspect movement space, levels, support and control requirements on site.
Can you make security grilles as well as driveway gates?
Yes. We make measured security grilles for suitable doors or vulnerable openings, alongside vehicle entrance gates. The grille survey records frames, hinges, handles, locks and usable clearance before its layout is fabricated.
How is completed metalwork brought back for fitting?
After manufacture and powder coating, we plan the installation visit and transport the finished sections to your property. We prepare the fixing positions, install the metalwork, align moving parts and test the agreed hardware.
