South Yorkshire is a county of stone and brick terraced housing, colliery-village stock and large modern estates. That is exactly the kind of building stock a pair of hardwood gates has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every pair of hardwood gates we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in South Yorkshire, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Moisture matters more than most people expect. Timber is conditioned before machining, and anything going into a kitchen, utility or bathroom is specified in materials that will not swell at the bottom edge. That is why the base of a well-made unit still closes cleanly after five winters.
Finish and materials
Every finished job gets a short handover: what the surface is, how to clean it, and how to adjust a hinge if a door drops after the heating has been on for a season. Adjustment is normal in timber and takes about two minutes once you know which screw to turn.

Straight answers
Hardwood Gates in South Yorkshire — common questions
Do they need finishing?
Oil or leave to silver. Paint on an exterior gate needs more maintenance than most people expect, because the bottom rail is constantly wet.
What about a gap at the bottom?
Deliberate, and important. A gate closing tight to the ground wicks moisture into the bottom rail and will rot from there upward within a few years.
Which timber for gates?
Iroko or oak. Both are naturally durable enough for exterior use without pressure treatment. Iroko is more stable and less prone to staining around fixings.
Can gates be automated?
Yes, but the frame has to be built for it from the start — automation puts continuous load on the hinge stile. Retrofitting a motor to a gate not designed for it usually ends badly.
Do you charge for the survey and drawings?
The measured survey and the quotation are free. If you want fully detailed manufacturing drawings or a 3D visual before committing, that is chargeable and the fee comes off the job if you proceed.
