Choose Your Gate
Every material brings its own character, strength and practical benefits. We will help you choose a gate that suits the property, supports the way the entrance is used and gives you the right balance of security, privacy, durability and kerb appeal.
Wooden Gates
Wooden gates bring warmth, character and a premium traditional finish to an entrance. They are a strong choice for homes, estates and properties where privacy, craftsmanship and natural detail matter.
- Natural warmth and character for a more traditional entrance
- Strong privacy and screening from the road
- Bespoke styles, finishes and detailing to suit the property
- A premium, crafted look for homes and estates
Aluminium Gates
Aluminium gates offer a clean, modern look with excellent durability and low maintenance. They are well suited to contemporary homes, commercial entrances and properties that need a smart, long-lasting finish.

- Durable and low-maintenance for long-term use
- Resistant to rust and suitable for exposed entrances
- A strong choice for modern homes and commercial sites
Metal/Wrought Iron Gates
Metal/Wrought iron gates create a classic, decorative entrance with strong visual impact. They are ideal for properties that need a traditional or architectural finish with a sense of presence.

- Ideal for traditional, period or statement entrances
- Strong visual presence while supporting security
- Bespoke detailing for a more architectural finish
Choose Your Setting
Whether the gate is for a private home, a school or a commercial site, we design each solution around how the entrance needs to work day to day.
Gates for Homes
For homeowners, a bespoke gate should improve the entrance while making everyday access feel easier and more secure.
- Improves privacy from the road or neighbouring properties
- Adds kerb appeal with a design suited to the home
- Supports safer, more controlled access to the property
- Can be paired with automation, intercoms and access control
Gates for Schools
For schools and education settings, gates need to support safety, supervision and controlled movement across busy entrances.
- Helps manage staff, pupil, parent and visitor access
- Supports safer movement around entrances and car parks
- Provides clearer control over who can enter the site
- Can be designed for regular daily use and duty-of-care environments
Gates for Commercial Sites
For businesses, councils and larger sites, gates need to be practical, durable and reliable across daily operations.
- Strengthens site security and access management
- Supports staff, visitor, contractor and delivery access
- Suitable for car parks, yards, service entrances & perimeter access points
- Can be integrated with automation, intercoms, keypads and fob access
Design Checklist
Before we begin the build, we assess every bespoke gate against four key areas: privacy, security, ease of use and kerb appeal. This helps us create a gate that looks right, works properly and feels considered from every angle.
Privacy
Privacy should be planned into the gate from the start, especially for homes, estates and entrances close to roads or neighbouring properties.
- We consider the height, spacing and panel style needed to reduce visibility from outside the property
- We recommend materials and finishes that support privacy without making the entrance feel heavy or out of place
- We plan the gate around how the driveway, boundary and surrounding property are used day to day
Security
A bespoke gate should give the entrance a stronger sense of control while remaining practical for everyday use.
- We assess the site layout, access points and level of control needed before recommending a gate design
- We specify strong materials, suitable fixings and reliable hardware for long-term performance
- We can plan automation, intercoms, keypads or fob access into the system where controlled entry is required
Ease of Use
A gate should make the entrance easier to manage, not more complicated.
- We consider how often the gate will be used and who needs regular access
- We recommend manual, automated or access-controlled setups based on the practical needs of the property
- We design with smooth daily operation in mind, from vehicle access to visitor management
Kerb Appeal
The right gate should enhance the property as well as secure it.
- We shape the design around the architecture, entrance layout and overall style of the property
- We help choose materials, finishes and detailing that feel premium and appropriate for the setting
- We make sure the finished gate feels like a natural part of the entrance, not an afterthought

I decided to install electric gates to increase privacy and security at my property. Will was recommended by another local business that I trust. He and his son Dominic did a fantastic job, exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend this local family business. Will knows his craft, he’s a very dependable contractor. Don’t hesitate to trust him with your project!Posted on Google![]()

Cannot praise the service we received from Will & his colleagues enough. They came to appraise the issue we were having with our gate within 24 hours of getting in contact, they were timely, polite, professional & sorted our gate within thirty minutes. Will is honest, upfront, friendly and obviously a specialist in his field, and his colleagues were both knowledgeable, charming & hardworking as well. If you’re considering fitting, repairing or servicing your automatic gate system this is a strong recommend on service alone. Thank you all.Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend using Wills Gates. Will and his team recently removed an old set of wooden gates for me, and installed a new motorised wooden vehicle gate plus a pedestrian gate. The project was not straight forward, due to the slope of the driveway, and also the slope of the public road that it’s on. However, from the initial meeting, through the installation, Will found solutions to the issues, and the end result is fantastic! The gates look exactly as I wanted them, operate perfectly, and the entry system he suggested is secure and simple to use. The project was completed on time and within budget. Will and his team are friendly, professional and very knowledgeable.Posted on Google![]()
