Residential Gates & Fencing

Q: What is the best type of driveway gate for my property?

The best gate depends on your available space, ground conditions, and style preferences. Swing gates are ideal for deeper driveways, while sliding gates are perfect where space is limited. Cantilever sliding gates are particularly suitable for uneven ground, sloped driveways, or areas with gravel and debris.

Q: What is the difference between a cantilever sliding gate and a tracked sliding gate?

A cantilever gate operates without a ground track, making it ideal for uneven surfaces and locations where debris may collect. A tracked sliding gate runs along a ground track and is often a cost-effective solution for properties with sufficient space along the boundary line.

Q: Are residential gates available in different sizes?

Yes, our residential gates are available in a range of sizes to suit different driveway widths and property entrances. Contact our team for guidance on selecting the right size for your home.

Q: Can I choose between manual and automated operation?

Yes, all of our residential driveway gates can be supplied for manual use or upgraded with an automated gate system for greater convenience and security.

Q: What materials are your residential gates made from?

Our range includes galvanised steel gates for maximum strength and security, as well as aluminium gates for a lightweight, modern, and low-maintenance solution.

Q: Do galvanised steel gates rust?

Galvanised steel is designed to resist corrosion and provide long-lasting performance. Combined with a polyester powder-coated finish, it offers excellent protection against the British weather.

Q: Can I purchase matching fencing with my gate?

Yes, we offer matching fencing systems designed to complement your chosen gate. This creates a consistent appearance across your property's boundary.

Q: What colours are available for residential gates and fencing?

Our gates and fencing are supplied with a durable polyester powder-coated finish and are available in a range of RAL colours to suit both traditional and contemporary homes.

Q: How much maintenance do residential gates require?

Our galvanised steel and aluminium gates are designed for low maintenance. Occasional cleaning and routine inspections of hinges, tracks, or automation components will help keep them operating smoothly.

Q: Can I install a driveway gate on a sloping driveway?

Yes. Cantilever sliding gates are often the preferred solution for sloping or uneven driveways because they operate above the ground without requiring a track.
