Width of the opening — the biggest single factor, and what decides between a single gate, a pair and a sliding gate.
Steep drives — rising hinges or a shaped bottom rail where the drive climbs from the road.
Keeping the view — a lower gate or an open top so a sea view is not boxed in.
Holiday lets — a keypad lock so guests can come and go without keys.

What Torquay asks of a gate
Drives that climb
Torquay is built on hills, and in Wellswood, Babbacombe and the streets above the harbour plenty of drives rise steeply from the road. A gate hung square on a steep drive hits the ground as it opens. Rising hinges lift the leaf as it swings, or the bottom rail can be shaped to follow the slope. A photo of the drive taken from the side shows the fabricator how steep it is.
Keeping the sea view
Many Torquay homes were built to look out over the bay, and a tall solid gate in the wrong place can box that view in. A gate does not have to be full height to work. A lower gate, a screen panel along the top, or open bars above the boards keep the garden secure and the dog in without blocking what you look out at.
Holiday lets and guest houses
Torbay has a lot of holiday lets and guest houses, where people you have never met need to get in and out. A keypad lock on a side or front gate means guests can be given a code rather than a key, and the code can be changed between bookings. Composite boards and a powder-coated frame also stay smart through a busy season without painting.
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 near the sea, but a frame can be matched to your windows or doors.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Torquay
How much do composite gates cost in Torquay?
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 slope, the lock and the finish all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
My drive is steep. Can I still have gates?
Usually, yes. Rising hinges lift the gate as it opens, or the bottom rail can be shaped to the slope. Send a photo from the side.
Will a gate block my sea view?
It does not have to. A lower gate, a screen panel or open bars along the top keep the garden secure without blocking the view.
What lock suits a holiday let?
A keypad lock. Guests get a code instead of a key, and you can change it between bookings.
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 Babbacombe, Paignton and Brixham?
Yes, along with St Marychurch, Wellswood, Chelston, Kingskerswell, Newton Abbot and the areas around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
