Driveway, Electric & Automatic Gate Installers in Plymouth

Driveway gate installation in Plymouth by Plymouth Gates & Railings — image placeholder

Plymouth Gates & Railings designs, fabricates and installs driveway gates across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall, hung manually or fully automated.

A driveway gate is the first thing visitors see. It is also the main thing standing between your car and the street.

We survey your opening, fabricate the gate to it, and fit it ourselves. That way it hangs true and lasts in the coastal climate, and it is the job most local homeowners call about first.

Every gate is fabricated and installed by our partner NS Metal Crafting Ltd, a Plymouth family business since 2017.

The Driveway Gates We Install

Swing Gates

Traditional single or twin-leaf gates that open inwards or outwards. Best where there is room for the leaf to swing clear and the ground is reasonably level.

Sliding & Cantilever Gates

A single leaf that slides across the opening. The right choice for sloping driveways, short run-backs or wider entrances where a swing gate would foul the fall.

Automated Gates

Manual gates fitted with motors, safety edges and access control. We commission powered gates to the relevant safety standard, including a force-test. {DHF-PENDING}

Access control options include:

  • Intercoms for visitor entry from inside the house.
  • Keypads for code access at the gate.
  • Remotes for opening from your car.

How It Works

1. Site Survey

We measure the opening, check the levels and fall, and look at how you want to use the gate. On a sloping or tight site we will recommend sliding over swing.

2. Design & Quote

You get a detailed quote covering the gate design, metal, finish, any automation, and the timeline. We agree the design before fabrication.

3. Fabrication & Finishing

The gate is fabricated to your opening, then galvanised and powder-coated for the coast.

4. Installation & Commissioning

We install the posts and gate, fit and commission any automation, and check it over with you.

Built For The Coast

Driveway gates near the Devon and Cornwall coast take constant salt air and wind-driven rain. And they take it on a moving, hinged structure, which is exactly where corrosion starts. So we treat every gate for its climate.

Hot-dip galvanising

Hot-dip galvanising to {GALV_WARRANTY} for a long-life base layer.

Powder-coat top layer

A {POWDER_SYSTEM} powder-coat on top for colour and a weather seal.

Marine-grade fixings

Marine-grade fixings on exposed coastal sites.

Common Mistakes vs What We Do

Made-to-measure driveway gate fabrication in Plymouth — image placeholder

Heavy swing gate on a slope

Common mistake: hanging a heavy twin-leaf swing gate on a sloping driveway, so it drops and drags within months. What we do: we survey the fall first and use sliding or cantilever where the ground demands it.

Automation without a force-test

Common mistake: automating a gate without safety edges or a force-test, leaving a powered gate that can injure. What we do: we commission powered gates to the relevant safety standard. {DHF-PENDING}

Powder-coat on bare steel

Common mistake: powder-coating bare steel near the sea, so the finish lifts and the gate rusts underneath. What we do: we galvanise first, then powder-coat, for a finish built for salt air.

What Driveway Gates Cost in Plymouth

Costs depend on size, design, finish and whether the gate is automated. We give you a fixed written quote after the survey. No surprises.

Manually hung driveway gate
