Works included the careful removal of existing infrastructure, regrading and preparation of the driveway, and the installation of over 100 meters of granite set edging to define and enhance the approach. Discreetly integrated mains power and network cabling support a fully automated underground gate system, installed using stainless steel foundation casings for strength and longevity.
Custom steel gate posts and bespoke hinges were fabricated and finished in the client’s chosen RAL colour, complementing engraved hardwood gates crafted specifically for this setting. The project was completed with energy-efficient driveway lighting, a Yorkshire chipping finish, re-tarmacking of the front apron, and full testing and commissioning to ensure a seamless operation.
The result is a premium entrance that balances traditional materials with modern engineering – tailored precisely to the site and client’s requirements.
I have used K P Gates for multiple projects now and I simply wouldn’t go anywhere else. Kev has installed three sets of gates for me over the years and recently completed a full driveway revamp as an extended part of the most recent project.
The attention to detail on the gates has been exceptional. Two sets are beautiful 6-bar Iroko gates, one with custom engraving, both hung on metal posts painted to a specific RAL colour of my choice. One of these is fully automated. The third set was a solid wooden electric gate hung off steels hidden within two stone pillars.
Kev handled the technical challenges with ease. He is knowledgeable, passionate about his craft, and, most importantly, dedicated and wholeheartedly trustworthy.
The experience on-site is just as good. Kev’s co-worker, Mitch, and his dad, Frank, are a pleasure to deal with, being polite, hardworking and tidy.
If you need high-quality electric gates or driveway work, K P Gates is your best choice. Highly recommended.
