Metal Gates

A gate made properly should last decades. We've been proving that point since 1919, making and installing metal gates across Newport, Cardiff and South Wales for homes, farms and businesses that want something built to last. We design it, fabricate it in our own workshop, and our own team fits it on site. One firm, start to finish.

Built to Your Brief

Gates that earn
their keep , for life

Off-the-shelf gates are fine if you want something generic. We don't do generic. Every gate we make starts with a conversation about what you actually need, the opening width, how you want it to look, whether it's swinging in or out, and what kind of use it'll see day to day.

We work in mild steel and wrought iron, and everything we produce is galvanised and painted as standard. That's not a premium extra. It's just how we do things, because it's the right way to ensure the finish holds up for years to come.

Residential driveways, farm entrances, commercial yards. Single leaf or double. Solid infill, bar-and-rail, or something more ornate. We'll work to your brief and make sure the end result is exactly what you had in mind.

All our gates are galvanised and painted as standard, because a gate should look good twenty years from now, not just on the day it goes in.
Gate Styles

There's more choice
than you might think

Driveway Gates

The most common brief we get. Whether it's a modest single-leaf for a terraced house or a wide double gate for a detached property, we'll match the style to your home and the opening width to the millimetre. These can be flat-top, bow-top, arched, or whatever suits the architecture.

Single or Double LeafPowder CoatedAny Width

Pedestrian & Side Gates

A side gate is often an afterthought, it shouldn't be. Done properly, it completes the boundary, adds security, and ties in with the driveway gates. We can match any style we've made elsewhere on the property, or design something independent if that works better.

Farm & Field Gates

Working gates need to be tough. Farm and agricultural gates see hard use, they get shoved, leant on, and driven into occasionally. We build ours with that in mind: heavy-gauge steel, robust hinges, and a no-nonsense finish that won't let you down in the field.

Decorative & Ornamental Gates

Some gates are as much about appearance as they are about access. Scroll work, panel detailing, or something inspired by the period of your home, we can work with you to design something that looks considered rather than just functional. Our wrought iron work has a long tradition behind it.

Why Ours Are Different
What goes into
every gate we make

Hand Fabricated

Each gate is made in our Newport workshop, not ordered from a catalogue. That means every joint is welded, every bar is cut to size, and the whole thing is assembled by hand.

Hot-Dip Galvanised

Before any paint goes on, every gate is galvanised. This isn't optional. It's how we protect the steel against rust from the inside out, giving decades of corrosion resistance.

Powder Coated Finish

After galvanising, we powder coat in your chosen colour. The finish is tougher than paint, resistant to chipping and fading, and looks sharp for years without maintenance.

Bespoke Sizing

We don't cut corners to fit a standard size, your gate will be made to the exact dimensions of your opening. No gaps, no compromise on how it hangs or closes.

Proper Ironmongery

Heavy-duty hinges, quality latches, drop bolts where needed. The hardware matters as much as the gate itself, cheap fittings on a quality gate is a false economy.

Automation-Ready

Planning to automate now or in the future? We can build the gate with automation in mind from the start, the right weight, balance and hinge positions make the job far simpler later on.

Supply & Installation
We don't just make the gate.
We fit it properly too.

Plenty of firms will sell you a gate and leave you to sort the fitting. We're not one of them. The same team that fabricates your gate installs it, which means it hangs true, closes cleanly and is set up right the first time. Free site visits across Newport, Cardiff and the whole of South Wales.

Free Site Visit

We come to you, measure the opening properly, check the ground and the posts, and talk through what will work. No charge, no obligation.

Fitted by Our Own Team

No subcontractors. The people who made your gate are the people who hang it, so posts are set solid and the gate swings right.

Automation Wired In

Going automated? We install the gate and commission the automation in one visit, wired, tested and handed over working.

Common Questions

Metal gate installation, answered

Do you install the gates you make?

Yes. We are metal gate installers as well as fabricators. We design and make your gate in our Newport workshop, then our own team fits it on site, sets the posts and hangs it. One firm from first measurement to final bolt.

Do you cover my area for gate installation?

We install metal gates across Newport, Cardiff, Bristol, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire and most of South Wales and the West of England. If you are searching for gate installers near you in South Wales, give us a ring and we will tell you straight away if we cover you.

How much does a metal gate cost fitted?

It depends on size, style and whether it is automated, which is why we offer a free site visit and a fixed price in writing. As a rough guide, a fitted driveway gate typically starts from around £750 for the first metre. No ballpark guesses down the phone.

How long does gate installation take?

Most residential driveway gates are fitted in a day once they are made. Automated gates take a little longer as we wire in and commission the system. We will give you a clear timescale when we quote.

Can you install a gate on an existing wall or posts?

Often, yes. On the free site visit we check whether your existing posts or piers are sound enough to carry the gate. If they are not, we can supply and set new steel posts as part of the installation.
