What Paignton asks of a gate
Bungalows and low frontages
Preston, Goodrington and the roads behind the seafront have plenty of bungalows with low walls and open fronts. A tall, solid gate can look heavy there. A lower gate, or a run of gates at the height of the wall, keeps the front open and the view out to the bay, while still keeping dogs and grandchildren in. The bungalow in the photos shows how it can look.
Living by the beach
Much of Paignton is within a short walk of the sand, and on a windy day the air along the seafront, Goodrington and Roundham is damp and salty. A gate here should be made for it from the start: a steel frame dipped in zinc before the powder coat goes on, stainless or coated hinges, and a latch that will not stiffen after a winter of spray. Composite boards themselves shrug it off and need nothing more than a hose down now and then.
Colours for red earth and sandstone
Torbay has red cliffs, red soil and red sandstone walls, and that colour runs through the gardens. A frame and boards that sit with it are worth thinking about. Anthracite and black work against almost anything, and browns and wood effects pick up the warm red tones. Send photos showing the wall and the house and the fabricator will suggest a combination.
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 by the sea, and a brown frame sits well against red sandstone.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Paignton
How much do composite gates cost in Paignton?
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 boards, any fencing alongside and the finish all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Can you make a low gate for a bungalow?
Yes. Gates are made to whatever height suits the front, so a low gate or a run at the height of the wall keeps the front open.
I live near the seafront. Will the gate last?
It will if it is made for it. The frame is zinc coated before powder coating, the hinges and latch are made for salty air, and the boards only need a hose down.
What colour works with a red sandstone wall?
Anthracite and black suit almost anything, and browns and wood effects pick up the red tones. Send a photo of the wall with your gate photos.
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 Brixham, Marldon and Churston?
Yes, along with Preston, Goodrington, Collaton St Mary, Galmpton, Stoke Gabriel and the areas around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
