What King's Lynn asks of a gate
Wind across the fens and the Wash
Out towards Terrington St Clement, Clenchwarton and West Lynn the land is flat and open, and the wind comes in off the Wash with nothing to slow it. A tall solid gate catches it like a sail. Frames here are built a size up, with drop bolts on both leaves and a stop at the centre, so the gates hold shut in a gale and do not rattle on their hinges through the night.
The old port town
King Street, Queen Street and the streets around the Tuesday Market Place are among the best-kept Georgian and medieval streets in the region, and they sit in conservation areas. The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk has more say over the fronts of houses there. A plain gate in a dark colour, at the height of the wall either side, is the usual answer, and it is worth asking the council before ordering.
Bungalows in the villages
South Wootton, North Wootton, Dersingham and the villages up the coast towards Heacham have plenty of bungalows with wide, low fronts. A tall pair can look out of scale there. A lower pair, or gates with a screen top above a shorter run of boards, keeps the view of the house while still closing off the drive for children and dogs.
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 dark grey are the usual choices, and a frame can be matched to your windows.

FAQs about Composite Gates in King's Lynn
How much do composite gates cost in King's Lynn?
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, the number of leaves and the board colour all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
We are out on the fens. Will tall gates stand up to the wind?
Yes, if they are built for it: a heavier frame, drop bolts on both leaves and a centre stop.
I live on King Street. Are there rules about gates?
The old town is a conservation area. Check with the Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk before ordering.
Our bungalow has a wide, low front. What height of gate suits it?
Often a lower pair, or a screen top over shorter boards, so the gates do not hide the house.
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 Downham Market, Dersingham and Hunstanton?
Yes, along with Gaywood, the Woottons, Terrington St Clement, Heacham and the villages around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
