Black steel swing gates open across a block-paved driveway

Bespoke gates, designed and installed around your property

From timber to steel, sliding to swing, we design and install gates that are built to last and keep your property secure.

More than a gate. A long-term security investment.

A gate is one of the most significant upgrades you can make to your property. It controls access, helps deter unwanted visitors, adds kerb appeal and, when installed correctly, runs reliably for years with minimal intervention. At GKW, every gate is designed around your property and installed by our own experienced team, with steel gates fabricated in our workshop in Fairseat, Kent.

Every gate we install is designed and fitted by our own team.

We had GKW install electric gates at our property and couldn't be happier with the result. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. The gates look fantastic and work perfectly. Highly recommend.

Common questions

What type of gate is right for my property?

It depends on your driveway width, available space, and aesthetic preference. Sliding gates work well on sloped or narrow driveways. Swing gates suit wider openings with flat approaches. We'll assess your property on the site visit and recommend the best option for your situation.

How long does installation take?

Most residential installations are completed in one to two days. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline as part of your quote.

Do you supply the automation as well as the gate?

Yes. We supply, install and configure the full system, including motors, control panels, intercoms, keypads and any access control you need.

What happens if my gate develops a fault?

We offer emergency call-out and repair services for all makes of gate and automation system, including ones we didn't install, as well as annual maintenance plans. You call us, we come out.
