Guide prices
Side and garden gates
£900 to £1,500A single gate, fabricated and fitted. The lock, the finish, an arched top and scroll work decide where it falls.
Driveway gates
£1,800 to £5,000+Fabricated and fitted. The width, the height, hinged or sliding, and the specification decide where it falls.
Width of the opening — the biggest single factor, and what decides between a single gate, a pair and a sliding gate.
A matching set — a driveway pair and a pedestrian gate made together, so tops, boards and frames line up.
Fence panels alongside — matching composite panels either side of a new gate add to the price but finish the boundary.
The details — lock, arched top, scroll work or finials, and whether the gate is built ready for a motor.

What Rotherham asks of a gate
Replacing a wooden gate
Plenty of the gates being replaced around Rotherham are timber. A wooden gate swells in winter and shrinks in summer, so it sticks for half the year and rattles for the other half, and the bottom rail rots where it sits nearest the wet ground. Composite boards in a steel frame do not move with the weather, so the gap set on the day it is fitted is the gap you still have years later, and there is no painting or staining. If it is the look of timber you like, wood-effect boards in oak, walnut and greys are widely available.
A matching set at the front
A lot of homes in Wickersley, Bramley, Whiston and the estates around them have a low front wall with two openings: one for the car and one for the path. Getting the driveway pair and the pedestrian gate made together is what makes them look like a set. The tops are drawn to the same curve, the boards and frame colour match, and details such as scroll work, like the pair at the top of this page, are carried across both. Made separately, years apart, they rarely match.
Long side boundaries and corner plots
Corner plots and semis with a long side boundary often need a side gate and a run of fencing beside it. Where the fence is being replaced at the same time, the fabricator can fit matching composite panels alongside the new gate, so the boards and colours run through. Fencing is offered alongside a gate rather than as a job on its own.
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 grey are the usual choices, but a frame can be matched to your windows, doors or existing railings.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Rotherham
How much do composite gates cost in Rotherham?
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, hinged or sliding, the lock, the finish and details such as scroll work all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Are composite gates better than wooden gates?
For most people, yes, if the aim is a gate you can forget about. Composite boards in a steel frame do not swell, shrink or rot, and never need painting. A wooden gate usually costs less on the day it goes up, but it needs regular treatment and tends to need replacing far sooner.
Can my driveway gates and front gate match?
Yes, and it is best to have them made together. The tops can follow the same curve, the boards and frame colour match, and details such as scroll work or finials carry across both.
Can you fit fence panels next to the gate?
Yes, where they go alongside a new gate. Matching composite panels can be fitted either side, so the boards and colours run through the whole boundary. Mention it when you send your 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 Wickersley and Maltby?
Yes, along with Bramley, Whiston, Rawmarsh, Wath, Swinton, Dinnington and the villages around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
