Aluminium Gates

Bespoke aluminium driveway gates designed, built and installed across Essex, London, Suffolk and Kent. Swing and sliding configurations with full automation, matching fencing and pedestrian gates.

Bespoke Aluminium Gates

Where style meets strength

Our aluminium gates are engineered to endure the UK's harshest weather — from Essex's damp climate to coastal salt air — while staying beautiful and functional for decades. With designs that complement any architecture, from traditional five-bar estate gates to ultra-modern laser-cut panels, every gate we build is made to measure.

All our aluminium gates can be fully automated with electric openers for single-button or smartphone control, and we handle the entire process from design through groundworks to final handover. We also supply to building companies, landscapers and architects looking to incorporate electric gates into their projects.

Why Aluminium

The smartest material for driveway gates

Aluminium is naturally rust-proof, lightweight yet incredibly strong, and requires virtually no maintenance. Unlike steel, it won't corrode in wet or coastal conditions. Unlike wood, it won't rot, warp or need regular treatment. A wash with soapy water is all it takes to keep an aluminium gate looking new.

The lightweight nature of aluminium also means less strain on hinges and automation motors, resulting in smoother operation, quieter movement and a longer service life for the entire system. Combined with powder-coated finishes in any RAL colour, aluminium gives you complete design freedom without the upkeep burden of traditional materials.

Advantages

Why choose aluminium

Seven reasons aluminium is the smartest choice for driveway gates in the UK.

Strength Without Weight

An exceptional strength-to-weight ratio means robust security without straining hinges or automation motors, ensuring long-term reliability.

Completely Rust-Proof

Aluminium naturally resists corrosion, making it ideal for the UK's wet climate, coastal regions and areas near saltwater. No rust, ever.

Endless Design Possibilities

Highly malleable for intricate bespoke designs — modern, traditional or unique. Choose from a vast range of powder-coated RAL colours.

Straightforward Installation

Lighter than steel or wood, aluminium requires less structural support, saving time and reducing wear on automated systems from day one.

Virtually Maintenance-Free

A quick wash with soapy water is all it takes. No staining, no treatment, no rust removal — just a gate that stays pristine with minimal effort.

Automation-Ready

Lightweight yet durable, aluminium gates pair perfectly with electric openers for smooth, quiet operation — controlled by button, fob or smartphone.

Common questions

Answers to the questions we hear most about aluminium gates, pricing and maintenance.

Bespoke aluminium driveway gates vary depending on design, size and complexity. Gates designed primarily for appearance can be installed from around £6,000. Fully automated systems with our bespoke engineered groundworks, foundations, safety compliance and automation start from £8,500 plus VAT. Larger projects that include driveways, walls, fencing, security and entry systems have ranged from £40,000 to £50,000. When comparing quotes, it's worth noting that not all gates are designed or built equally — our automated systems are engineered to exceed UK British Standards for structural integrity.

Stock-size pedestrian gates can be supplied from £800. Most of our pedestrian gates are bespoke-made to match driveway gate designs and styles, with prices starting from around £1,200.

Aluminium gates require the least maintenance of any gate material — a wash with soapy water is usually sufficient. For automated systems, we offer a service agreement starting at £275 per year. This includes an annual service visit, free remote check-ups using our built-in diagnostic tool, and extends your system warranty for up to five years.
