Gate services
Practical work for everyday residential gates
Adjustment and alignment
Correcting dropped gates, uneven clearances, dragging and latch alignment where the existing gate remains serviceable.
Hinges and latches
Replacing worn hinges, latches, bolts, handles and suitable fixings, then setting the gate up to operate properly.
Timber gate repairs
Replacing damaged palings, braces and other local timber components when a targeted repair is the sensible option.
Gate fitting
Measuring and fitting suitable manual pedestrian, side and garden gates to an existing serviceable opening.
Gate replacement
Removing a gate that is beyond practical repair and fitting a suitable replacement with new hardware where required.
Finishing touches
Minor preparation, protective finishing and final adjustments so the completed gate looks considered and works smoothly.
Real repair, visible result
A gate repair before and after
Good gate work is not only about appearance. The finished gate should swing freely, close cleanly and suit the way the access point is used.
Repair or replace?
A sensible recommendation based on the gate in front of us
Repair may make sense when…
- The main gate frame is still sound
- The fault is limited to hardware, alignment or local damage
- Replacement parts can provide a reliable result
- The expected repair cost is sensible for the gate
Replacement may be better when…
- The gate is extensively rotten, twisted or deteriorated
- Several previous repairs are no longer holding
- The gate is unsuitable for the opening or how it is used
- A repair would only postpone another likely failure
