West Yorkshire is a county of millstone-grit terraces, back-to-backs and substantial Victorian villas. 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
Off-the-shelf units are made to standard sizes and then filled out with scribe strips. Our pair of hardwood gates work is cut to the dimensions taken from your West Yorkshire property, so there is no packing, no filler and no gap that opens up in year two.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Workshop
Parts are machined, assembled and finished under cover while the site carries on with other trades.
Fit & handover
We fit, scribe, adjust and touch in, then walk you through care and adjustment before we leave.
Straight answers
Hardwood Gates in West Yorkshire — common questions
What stops a wooden gate dropping?
Bracing that runs from the bottom hinge upward, so the diagonal works in compression. Run it the other way and it works in tension, the joints open and the gate sags. This is the single most common fault we are called out to.
What ironmongery do you use?
Stainless or galvanised throughout, and sized generously. Gate hardware fails long before the timber does, and undersized hinges on a heavy hardwood gate will tear out.
How wide can a single leaf be?
Around 1.2 metres before the leverage starts working against you. Beyond that a pair is better than one very wide leaf, both for the hardware and for the swing space.
Will they match my fencing?
We can match the boarding pattern and spacing so the gate reads as part of the run rather than as an insert. Same species matters too, since different hardwoods silver to different greys.
How do I pay, and when?
A deposit at order to cover materials, a stage payment when the work leaves the workshop, and the balance on completion after you have inspected the fit. Everything is written into the quotation before you commit.
