What Morecambe asks of a gate
Homes along the front
The promenade runs for miles, from Happy Mount Park past the Midland Hotel to Heysham, and every high tide with an onshore breeze throws spray over it. Front gardens a street or two back still get a fine film of salt. The weak points on any gate are the hinges and the latch, so those are specified in stainless or coated steel, and the frame gets a zinc layer before its colour coat. The boards themselves just need hosing off.
Bungalows in Bare, Torrisholme and Heysham
Whole streets in Bare, Torrisholme and Heysham are bungalows set behind dwarf walls. On those fronts the gate is usually about waist height and the job is keeping a dog in and parcels safe rather than hiding the house. A letterbox in the gate, a latch that a visitor can find easily, and a matching taller gate at the side passage cover most needs.
Back yards in the West End
Behind the West End terraces, yards open onto a shared back street, and the old timber gates there have usually seen better days. A full-height composite gate gives proper privacy, will not rot at the bottom like timber, and takes a deadlock as well as a latch. The fabricator measures each yard opening individually, because no two are the same size.
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. Anthracite and black are the usual choices near the bay, but a frame can be matched to your windows or door.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Morecambe
How much do composite gates cost in Morecambe?
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. Height, width, a letterbox or deadlock, and how close you are to the front all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Our house faces the bay. What should the gate be made from?
Composite boards on a zinc-coated steel frame, with stainless or coated hinges and latch. That combination copes with spray far better than timber or bare steel.
Can a waist-height front gate have a letterbox?
Yes. A letterbox and a house number can be built into a low gate as easily as a tall one.
Can a back yard gate take a deadlock?
Yes. A yard gate can have a deadlock as well as a latch, so it can be locked from inside or out.
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 Heysham, Hest Bank and Bolton-le-Sands?
Yes, along with Bare, Torrisholme, Overton, Slyne, Carnforth and the areas around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
