What Watford asks of a gate
Terraces and narrow passages
Much of central and west Watford, around Callow Land, the Harebreaks and the roads off St Albans Road, is terraces and semis with a narrow passage or alley to the back garden. A side gate there is made to the exact gap, full height and solid, in a full steel frame where the gap is tall, and it should lock from the garden side and leave room for the bins.
Cassiobury, Nascot and the larger homes
Cassiobury, Nascot and the roads towards Bushey and Oxhey have bigger detached and semi-detached houses with wider drives. A pair with a swept top softens a long run of boards, and wide openings are built with a heavier frame and drop bolts so the leaves stay level. Parts of Nascot are a conservation area, so check with Watford Borough Council before changing a front boundary there.
Coded locks for busy households
Shared houses, flats with a side entrance and families with older children often find keys go missing. A mechanical coded lock on the side gate lets everyone in with a number, and the code can be changed when you need to. It needs no power, so it carries on working in any weather.
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 suit most homes, and a black frame sets off light grey boards well.

FAQs about Composite Gates in Watford
How much do composite gates cost in Watford?
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, a swept top, a coded lock and the board colour all move it. Send photos and a width for a provisional price for your opening.
I live in Nascot. Do I need permission for a new gate?
Parts of Nascot are a conservation area. Check with Watford Borough Council before ordering a front gate.
Can a side gate have a lock that works with a code?
Yes. A mechanical coded lock can be fitted, so there are no keys to lose.
What is a swept top?
A top edge that curves rather than running straight across, which softens a wide run of boards.
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 Bushey, Croxley Green and Abbots Langley?
Yes, along with Oxhey, Carpenders Park, Garston, Kings Langley and the areas around them. If you are not sure about your street, send your postcode and we will confirm.
