A market town on the Trent
Gainsborough sits on the Trent at the western edge of Lincolnshire, and its property mix is broader than its size suggests. There is a compact older centre, a good deal of postwar and modern housing, and then a scattering of substantial rural properties and converted farm buildings in the villages around — Lea, Blyton, Corringham, Willingham by Stow and Marton among them.
Those rural conversions are often the most interesting jobs. A former farmyard entrance rarely has the neat brick pillars a modern estate provides, so the gate design has to work with whatever is already there — stone walls, timber posts, an opening that is not quite square, or no defined entrance at all. It usually means fabricating to measure rather than adapting a stock size.
Gainsborough is toward the western edge of our installer's coverage, roughly 52 miles from his base. Comfortably within range for installation, though for routine servicing it is worth discussing scheduling when you book.

Do you install electric gates throughout Gainsborough?
Yes — our installer covers Gainsborough and the surrounding West Lindsey villages including Lea, Blyton, Corringham, Willingham by Stow and Marton, along with Market Rasen. If you are unsure whether your postcode is covered, send us an enquiry.
My entrance has no proper pillars. Is that a problem?
Not at all, though it does need factoring in. Where there are no existing pillars, or the ones there are will not carry the load, the options are to build new pillars, fit substantial steel posts, or use a sliding gate which puts the load differently. Rural and converted properties often fall into this category, and it is assessed at survey.
Can you make a gate for an opening that is not square?
Yes. Older entrances are frequently out of square, on a slope, or wider at one side than the other. Because all metalwork is fabricated to measure rather than bought in as stock sizes, the gate can be made to suit the opening rather than the opening being altered to suit the gate.
How quickly can I get a quote?
