Guide prices
Side and garden gates
£900 to £1,500A single gate, fabricated and fitted. The lock, the finish, an arched top and a screen panel decide where it falls.
Driveway gates
£1,800 to £5,000+Fabricated and fitted. The width, hinged or sliding, piers or steel posts, and the finish 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.
Piers or posts — hanging on sound brick piers, or on new steel posts set in concrete beside them.
The ground — adjustable hinges let a gate be re-set if a pier or post moves over the years.
The lock — a key, a keypad, or a lock with a thumb-turn on the inside.

What Stoke-on-Trent asks of a gate
Terraces and back entries
The six towns, from Tunstall down to Longton, are full of Victorian terraces, and many have a shared entry between the houses or a back alley behind the yards. A gate there is mostly about security. It needs a proper lock, hinges that cannot be lifted off, and no rails on the outside to climb. If the entry is shared, everyone with a right of way through it needs a key or the code, so agree it with the neighbours before the gate is ordered.
Hanging gates on brick piers
Staffordshire is brick country, from the red brick of the terraces to the hard blue engineering bricks on walls and copings. A lot of gates here are hung on existing brick piers, and plenty of those piers were built for a light timber gate. A composite gate in a steel frame is heavier, so the fabricator will look at the piers in your photos. Where a pier is sound, the gate hangs on it. Where it is not, a steel post can go in alongside, so the brickwork stays as it is.
Ground that moves
Stoke sits on the North Staffordshire coalfield, and older mine workings and made-up ground are common across the city. Even where that is not an issue, old piers lean and drives settle over time. Gate posts are set deep in concrete, and adjustable hinges mean a gate can be brought back into line if the ground shifts, rather than left to drop and catch.
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 suit red and blue brick alike, but a frame can be matched to your windows or doors.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Stoke-on-Trent
How much do composite gates cost in Stoke-on-Trent?
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 piers or posts and the finish all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Can a gate go across a shared entry?
Often, yes, but anyone with a right of way through the entry must still be able to use it. Agree it with the neighbours first, and choose a lock that suits everyone, such as a keypad with a shared code.
Can you hang a gate on my existing brick piers?
Yes, if they are sound and big enough for the weight. The fabricator will look at them in your photos. If they are not, a steel post can be set in concrete alongside the pier instead.
Do you make sliding gates?
Yes. A sliding gate runs on a ground track to one side of the opening, so it suits a drive where swinging gates would hit a car or a slope. It needs a clear run beside the opening at least as wide as the gate.
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 Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove and Stone?
Yes, along with Hanley, Burslem, Longton, Trentham, Biddulph, Cheadle, Leek and the villages around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
