What Taunton asks of a gate
Village drives in Taunton Deane
Out in Bishops Lydeard, Staplegrove, Norton Fitzwarren and the villages towards Wellington, plenty of homes have a longer drive than in town. Gates there are often best set back from the lane, so a car can pull in before they open. A wide pair can be built ready for a motor, with the hinges and posts sized for it, even if you open the gates by hand for now.
Colours for red stone and brick
Taunton Deane is red sandstone and warm brick country, and that changes which colours look right. Black or anthracite frames work against most of it, and walnut, oak and mid-grey boards tend to sit better with warm stone than a cold pale grey. Send a photo of the house as well as the opening, and the fabricator can suggest a combination.
Clay ground that moves
Much of Somerset sits on clay, which shrinks in a dry summer and swells again in a wet winter. Over the years that can tip a gatepost or drop a pier just enough for a gate to catch. Posts are set deep in concrete, below the worst of the movement, and adjustable hinges let the fabricator bring a gate back into line rather than leave it scraping.
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 stone and brick, but a frame can be matched to your windows or doors.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Taunton
How much do composite gates cost in Taunton?
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, set back or on the boundary, the lock and the finish all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
Can gates be made ready for a motor later?
Yes. A pair can be built with the frame, hinges and posts sized for a motor, so one can be added later without replacing the gates.
Which colours suit a red stone house?
Black or anthracite frames, with walnut, oak or mid-grey boards, usually sit well with red sandstone. Send a photo of the house for a suggestion.
Will clay soil move my gateposts?
It can over time. Posts are set deep in concrete, and adjustable hinges allow a gate to be brought back into line if the ground moves.
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 Wellington, Bishops Lydeard and Monkton Heathfield?
Yes, along with Staplegrove, Norton Fitzwarren, Trull, Creech St Michael and the villages around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
