Supply & Fit

Gates made for your driveway

We are gate suppliers and fitters in one. We measure your opening, help you choose a design and then make, hang and automate the gate ourselves, so there is one team responsible from the first visit to the final safety test.

Most Loughton customers choose between aluminium gates (light, low-maintenance and ideal for automation), steel gates (strong and traditional) and composite gates (a timber look without the upkeep). Each can be made as a swing or sliding gate, with a matching pedestrian gate if you need one.

As a family-run business, we keep the same small team on your job from survey to handover.

Loughton Homes

Forest-edge plots and tight driveways

Loughton has a real mix of driveways. Older houses near the forest edge often sit on sloping or tree-lined plots, while many streets around Debden and the town centre have shorter drives with the house close to the pavement.

That shapes the gate. A short drive can rule out inward-swinging gates, so a sliding gate that runs along the boundary is often the answer. On a slope, swing gates may need to open outwards or use special hinges. Where roots from mature trees are a concern, a cantilever slider needs less digging than a track.

Leaves and debris from the forest also build up around tracks and safety sensors, so we design for easy cleaning and set a sensible servicing interval.

FAQs

Loughton gate questions

Common questions from homeowners in Loughton, Debden and Buckhurst Hill.

Do you supply the gates as well as automate them?

Yes. We supply and fit complete gate systems in aluminium, steel and composite, made to measure for your opening. If you already have a sound gate, we can automate it instead.

Is a sliding or swing gate better for a Loughton driveway?

It depends on the space. A sliding gate needs clear room along the boundary to run back into; a swing gate needs room on the drive to open inwards. On short or sloping drives, sliding is often the better fit. We measure both options at the free survey.

Do I need planning permission for gates in Loughton?

Gates up to 2 metres high (or 1 metre next to a highway) usually fall under permitted development. Parts of Loughton are in conservation areas, and listed buildings have extra rules, so check with Epping Forest District Council before committing to a design. We can help with drawings.

Do you repair gates you did not install?

Yes. We repair and service electric gates of all brands, whoever installed them, including motor, control board, photocell and remote faults.
