Details that make daily use easier
Solid infill bars
The gate feels substantial rather than light and hollow when handled.
Clear ground checks
We measure slopes and clearance to reduce scraping across the entrance.
Hardware planned together
Posts, stops, bolts and latches are specified as part of the gate.
Control access without cramping your driveway
Driveway gates should mark the entrance, improve control over vehicle access and close without catching the ground. We measure the full opening, check levels and look at the room available for each leaf to swing. Paired gates suit many entrances, while a bi-folding layout can help where movement space is tighter. We also account for vehicle clearance, posts and the direction you normally approach the drive. Our owner favours solid infill bars rather than lightweight tubular ones, giving the finished gates a more substantial feel each time you open and close them.
A clear price based on the actual entrance
A typical set sits in the region of £900 to £1,200, although size, decorative parts and hardware shape the final estimate. We inspect the entrance before quoting, rather than expecting one figure to fit every drive. A standard set averages a couple of workshop days to fabricate before finishing. The full timetable also covers measuring, powder coating and installation. During fitting, we position hinges, drop bolts, stops and latches carefully, then align both leaves so they meet cleanly across the centre.
Frequently asked questions
How much do made-to-measure driveway gates cost?
Our typical guide is £900 to £1,200 for a set. The exact estimate depends on the opening width, height, top shape, decorative components, posts and hardware. We measure first, then price the design and fitting requirements for your entrance.
Will the gates work on a sloping driveway?
We need to inspect the levels and available clearance before deciding the layout. We measure the fall across the entrance, check the swing area and discuss how you use the drive. Those details help us plan the hinge positions and lower edge.
How long does a driveway gate project take?
Fabricating a standard set averages a couple of days, but that isn't the complete project time. Measuring, agreeing the design, powder coating and arranging fitting are separate stages. We provide an expected timeframe with your estimate.
