A look at our work
Every gate we fit is made to measure for the property it goes on. Here is a small selection of recent installations — traditional and contemporary, swing and sliding.
On the Lincolnshire and Norfolk border
Long Sutton sits close to the Norfolk border, and our installer's coverage runs well past it — out to Wisbech, King's Lynn and the villages between. If you are on the Norfolk side and have struggled to find someone willing to travel, it is worth asking; the county line makes far less difference to coverage than people assume.
The town has a well-preserved centre with a notable medieval church, and the surrounding land is South Holland agriculture: substantial farmhouses, working yards, and larger detached properties along the lanes. Agricultural entrances tend to need something more robust than a standard residential gate, and steel five-bar designs are usually the practical answer where automation is involved.
This is open fen country, so wind loading is a real consideration. A solid gate on an exposed entrance takes considerably more force than the same gate on a sheltered street, which affects post foundations, section sizes and sometimes the choice of infill. It is assessed at survey rather than left to chance.

Do you install electric gates throughout Long Sutton?
Yes — our installer covers Long Sutton, Sutton Bridge, Gedney, Lutton and the surrounding villages, along with Holbeach and across the border towards Wisbech and King's Lynn.
I am just over the Norfolk border. Do you still cover me?
Very likely, yes. Our installer's coverage extends well into Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, and the county boundary makes far less difference than the actual distance. Send us your postcode and we will confirm straight away.
Do gates need to be built differently for exposed fen sites?
Often, yes. Flat open country means a gate takes considerably more wind load than it would on a sheltered street, and a solid infill acts like a sail. That can mean deeper post foundations, heavier sections and a more powerful motor, or a slatted or barred infill that lets air through.
Do you fit gates on farms and agricultural entrances?
Yes. Wide agricultural entrances are common here and are usually best served by a five-bar style gate built in steel rather than timber, since steel carries automation without dropping over time. Sliding gates also suit entrances that open straight onto a road.
What types of electric gate do you supply and install?
Electric swing gates, sliding gates, bi-folding gates, full driveway automation and automatic rising bollards, plus automation retrofits to existing gates where they are structurally suitable. All metalwork is fabricated to measure in-house.
