Period & Listed Property
Next to a listed building the gate has to sit comfortably with what is already there. That usually means timber or a painted steel, and a design agreed before anything is cut.
Cowbridge is the Vale's market town, and the properties either side of the High Street run from Georgian townhouses to converted barns and farmhouses out towards Llanblethian and Aberthin.
Rural entrances here are often wide, gravelled and set back off a lane — which suits a pair of swing gates on new posts, or a tracked sliding gate where the drive is on a slope. Older stone piers can look sound and still need checking before automation is hung off them.
We cover Cowbridge and the surrounding Vale villages, roughly forty minutes from us. Send us a couple of photographs and rough measurements of your entrance and we will come back with a realistic figure before anyone books a visit.

Electric gates in Cowbridge are fitted by us end to end, in aluminium, timber and steel, with the automation sized to the weight of the leaf. Installed starting prices are £6,995 (Essential) and £10,200 (Premium, bespoke), both including VAT.
Each gate leaves us force tested, with photocells and safety edges fitted and a handover pack explaining the manual release and how to isolate the power. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.

Next to a listed building the gate has to sit comfortably with what is already there. That usually means timber or a painted steel, and a design agreed before anything is cut.

The strongest option, and the one to pick where security is the point rather than the appearance. Galvanised and powder coated so it stays that way.

Motors buried at the pivot, so nothing is visible alongside the gate. It needs ground that drains, which is exactly what we check at survey.
Driveway gates change how an entrance in Cowbridge is used every single day, so we would rather get the swing direction right on paper than on site.
