Made to Measure
A gate built to your exact opening, matched to your property, and ready for automation from day one.
What Goes Wrong
A gate that does not fit the opening properly causes problems from the first week. Here is where the failure usually starts.
Ordering to a nominal size without measuring the actual post-to-post distance leaves gaps or forces the gate to bind against the frame.
The opening width, post positions, and any taper are recorded on site so the fabrication brief matches the real entrance, not a catalogue size.
A gate hung without accounting for a sloped driveway will scrape the ground on one side or leave a large gap on the other as it swings.
Ground level and gradient are measured during the survey so the gate leaf is fabricated and hung to clear the slope across its full travel.
Retrofitting automation to a gate not built for it means drilling into finished frames, adding external brackets, and risking hinge misalignment under load.
Hinge plates, motor brackets, and sensor mounts are welded into the frame during manufacture so the gate arrives ready for the chosen automation system.
A gate that exceeds the motor’s rated leaf weight will strain the operator from day one, causing premature wear and erratic open-and-close cycles.
Aluminium fabrication is selected where leaf weight must stay within a motor’s rated load; steel is used where structural weight is not a constraint.
Scope of Work
From the first site visit to the final open-and-close test, every stage is handled through our vetted local partners.
Steel fabrication with a powder-coated finish suits decorative designs and heavier-duty residential entrances across Brentwood.
Aluminium keeps leaf weight low where motor load is a constraint, without sacrificing a clean, finished appearance.
Timber gates are framed and braced to resist warping, with steel hinge plates integrated for long-term alignment.
Posts are set in concrete foundations scoped for local ground conditions, with depth and diameter matched to gate weight.
The gate design is specified around the chosen motor type, swing, sliding, or underground ram, before fabrication begins.
Full entrance measured before any fabrication brief is written.
Hinge grade and motor brackets matched to gate weight and use.
Track, latch, and lock hardware selected to suit the gate type.
Final hang checked for ground clearance and level alignment.
Why Choose Us
Every job is handled by vetted local installers who work to Gate Safe and DHF standards, not general contractors adapting a standard product.
Every installation is specified and fitted to Gate Safe standards, covering force limits, safety edges, and photocell placement.
Safety edges and photocells are specified to DHF standards as standard, not as an optional add-on after the gate is hung.
We connect customers with vetted independent local partners who carry out bespoke gate work across Brentwood and the surrounding area.
A site survey is arranged before fabrication is confirmed, so the quote reflects the actual entrance, not an assumed standard opening.
The gate design is reviewed against the chosen motor type before manufacture, so weight, fixing points, and travel limits are all resolved in advance.
How It Works
01
Tell us the opening width, slope, and power supply and we will arrange a local installer to survey and quote the full job.
02
The installer visits, measures the opening, confirms material and automation options, and provides a quote covering fabrication and groundwork.
03
The gate is built to the survey measurements, hung with clearance and level checks completed, and tested through a full open-and-close cycle.
