What Portsmouth asks of a gate
Front and back gates for terraced streets
Southsea, Fratton, Eastney and North End are streets of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with small front gardens and yards behind. Most gates here are single gates: a low front gate onto the path, or a back gate onto the alley where the bins go out. They are usually narrow and often out of square, so each one is made to the measured opening rather than a stock size.
A gate to go with a composite front door
Many Portsmouth homes already have a composite front door, and a gate in the same colour family makes the front look finished. Frames can be powder coated in almost any RAL colour, and the boards come in greys, browns, blacks and wood effects. Send a photo of the door with your gate photos and the fabricator will suggest boards and a frame colour to match.
Salt air on the island
Most of Portsmouth sits on Portsea Island, with the Solent on one side and Langstone Harbour on the other, so salt air reaches well inland. Cheap hinges seize and bare steel rusts through paint within a few winters. Here the frame is galvanised before it is powder coated, and the hinges, latch and fixings are chosen for the coast.
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, so the gate can match a composite front door, the window frames or a painted front.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Portsmouth
How much do composite gates cost in Portsmouth?
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, a letterbox or house number and the finish all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Can my gate match my composite front door?
Usually. Frames come in almost any RAL colour and boards in greys, browns, blacks and wood effects. Send a photo of the door with your gate photos.
Can a front gate have a letterbox and house number?
Yes. Both can be built into the gate, which helps when the gate shuts the path off from the street.
Will a gate cope with the salt air?
Yes. The frame is galvanised under the powder coat, and the hinges, latch and fixings are chosen for the coast.
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 Havant, Waterlooville and Fareham?
Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm which fabricator can take on your job, whether you are in Portsmouth, Havant, Waterlooville, Fareham or the villages around.
