What Camborne asks of a gate
Terraces from the mining days
Camborne and neighbouring Tuckingmill were built on tin and copper, and long rows of miners' cottages still line the streets, with small front gardens behind low stone walls. Openings vary from house to house, so a gate is made to the measured gap rather than a stock size. The area is part of the Cornish mining World Heritage Site, so a plain gate that suits the terrace is usually the best fit.
Wind across the high ground
Camborne sits on open ground between Carn Brea and the north coast at Portreath, and Beacon, Troon and Illogan get the full force of a north westerly. A gate up there is built with a stiffer frame, hinges rated for the weight of the leaf and posts set deep in concrete. A pair gets a drop bolt so it holds shut, and the frame is zinc coated against the salt the wind carries.
Newer homes around Pool
Pool, Tolvaddon and the land between Camborne and Redruth have seen a lot of new building, with homes that have a side passage for bins and bikes and a short drive at the front. A side gate there needs to be wide enough for a wheelie bin, lockable from both sides, and in a colour that sits with grey windows. Where the gap is too wide for one leaf, a gate with a matching fixed panel fills it neatly.
Boards and frame colours
Composite boards
Board ranges vary from one fabricator to another, but they can fit almost any make. If you have seen a board you like, send the name or a photo and the fabricator will tell you whether it can be used.
Steel frames
Frames can be powder coated in almost any RAL colour. Black and anthracite are the usual choices, and a frame can be matched to your windows or door.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Camborne
How much do composite gates cost in Camborne?
As a guide, a single side or garden gate is around £900 to £1,500 fabricated and fitted, and a pair of driveway gates runs from around £1,800 to £5,000 or more. The width, a fixed panel, the boards and the finish all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Our cottage has an odd-sized opening. Can you still fit a gate?
Yes. Every gate is made to the measured opening, so an old terrace gap is no problem.
We are on high ground and the wind is strong. What should we ask for?
A stiffer frame, heavier hinges, deep posts and a drop bolt on a pair. The fabricator will specify them for exposed spots.
Our side passage is too wide for one gate. What are the options?
A gate with a matching fixed panel alongside, or a pair of side gates.
Why do you ask for photos before visiting?
The fabricators on our network cover a wide area, so a visit can mean a long round trip. Photos and a rough width let them give you a provisional price first, and the visit to measure only happens once you are happy with it. You are not waiting in for someone only to find the price does not suit.
Do you cover Pool, Illogan and Redruth?
Yes, along with Tuckingmill, Beacon, Troon, Praze-an-Beeble, Portreath and the villages around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
