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.
Gates that suit a Georgian town
Stamford is one of the best preserved stone towns in England, and that brings a particular set of considerations. The town centre carries an unusually high density of listed buildings and has been a conservation area since the 1960s, so anything altering a frontage gets looked at closely. Gate design here is as much about what suits the stonework as what suits the driveway.
In practice that tends to mean traditional metalwork rather than contemporary slatted panels, sized and proportioned to sit comfortably against limestone walls and existing pillars. Getting the proportions right matters more on a Georgian frontage than almost anywhere else — a gate that is slightly too tall or too heavy in section will look wrong even when the workmanship is excellent.
Beyond the town, the surrounding villages — Ketton, Easton on the Hill, Collyweston, Uffington, Great Casterton and Ryhall among them — offer more freedom, with larger plots and fewer constraints. Our local installer works across both, and will tell you honestly what is likely to need consent before you commit to a design.

Do you install electric gates throughout Stamford?
Yes — our local installer covers Stamford and the villages around it including Ketton, Easton on the Hill, Uffington, Great Casterton and Ryhall, along with Bourne and Market Deeping. Send us an enquiry if you are unsure whether your postcode is covered.
Do I need planning permission for electric gates in Stamford?
More often than elsewhere, yes. Stamford town centre is a designated conservation area with a very high number of listed buildings, and works affecting a listed property or its curtilage generally need consent regardless of gate height. Outside the centre the usual permitted development rules apply. Our planning permission guide covers the detail, and your installer will raise anything that looks likely to need an application.
Will an electric gate suit a stone-built property?
Yes, provided the design is chosen with the building in mind. Traditional wrought iron and painted steel sit far more comfortably against limestone than contemporary composite panels. Your installer will talk through proportions, infill style and finish at survey, and can fabricate to a bespoke design where a standard style will not work.
What types of electric gate do you supply and install?
Our Stamford installer fits electric swing gates, sliding gates, bi-folding gates, full driveway automation systems and automatic rising bollards. Bollards are worth considering on period properties, since they sit flush with the ground when lowered and alter the appearance of a frontage far less than a gate.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one to two days. Where new pillars are needed or the entrance requires groundworks, allow two to three days. If your property is listed, factor in the consent process before any of that begins — that timescale sits with the local authority rather than your installer.
