Sloping drive? Swing or sliding
A swing gate needs clear ground to open into. On a drive that rises behind the opening, a pair of swing gates can hit the slope before they're fully open. A wide opening on a slope with nowhere to swing needs a sliding gate.
Short drive and no room to slide? A bi-fold gate folds back on itself and needs far less space to open. We'll look at the drive and tell you which one works, rather than which one costs more. Electric sliding gates start from £7,150, and manual bi-fold or tracked sliding gates from £4,050.
Composite or metal
Composite gives you a solid, private boarded gate with no rot and no repainting, on a welded steel frame.
Metal gates are the traditional choice, and they're what to go for if you want railings to match. Ours are hot-dip galvanised and then powder coated, so they don't bleed rust at the welds after a few winters.

Bradford gate questions
Do you install gates in Bradford?
Yes. We survey in Bradford, build the gate in our workshop in Scholes, Leeds, and fit it with our own team.
Do you cover Shipley, Ilkley and Keighley?
Yes. We fit across West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, the East Riding and South Yorkshire, so Shipley, Ilkley and Keighley are all inside our patch. The survey and the quote are free. If you're near the edge of it, ring 0113 414 1353 and we'll tell you straight.
Can you fit gates on a sloping drive?
Yes. It's mostly about picking the right type. If swing gates would catch the slope, a sliding or cantilever gate runs across the opening instead. We'll check the levels at the survey.
Sliding vs swing gatesHow long from quote to fitting?
Most gates take eight to twelve weeks from approved drawings to fitting. That covers the design, the build in our Leeds workshop and the powder coating. Side and garden gates are quicker, typically three to four weeks. We confirm your fitting date with the quote.
Do you offer finance?
Yes. 0% APR over 12 or 24 months through Ideal4Finance. Finance needs a 50% deposit, and the rest is spread over the term you pick.
How our gate finance worksDo I need planning permission for driveway gates?
Usually not. As a general guide you need it if the gate is over 1 metre high next to a road or footpath, over 2 metres high anywhere else, or at a listed building. Conservation areas can add their own rules. If in doubt, check with Bradford Council before you order. We can draw the gate to whatever height works.
