Aluminium Gates in Derby
Derbyshire — local installers
Aluminium Gates in Derby
Derby is our most design-led area. Most enquiries here are for contemporary flat-slat or horizontal-board aluminium gates finished in anthracite grey to match render, grey windows and modern garage doors — typically in Mickleover, Allestree, Oakwood, Littleover and Chellaston. We manufacture the gate, the matching side gate and any screens together so the frontage is one continuous design.
Colour matching modern Derby housing
Almost all recent Derby housing uses RAL 7016 anthracite grey for windows and doors. We powder coat gates, posts, fencing and bin screens to the same reference, so nothing looks like an afterthought. If your joinery is a different grey we take the reference at survey and coat to that instead — there is no extra charge for a standard RAL colour.
Contemporary styles that suit render and brick
Flat horizontal slats with a narrow gap read best against render; wider boards with a solid infill give more privacy on plots that face the road directly. Where a property has a strong brick frontage we often break the gate with a vertical panel or a laser-cut feature so it does not sit flat against the brickwork.
Automation, intercoms and deliveries
Automated gates in Derby are usually specified with a video intercom so deliveries can be handled from inside the house, plus a keypad for family. We fit safety edges and photocells as standard and hand over with a test of the manual release so you are never locked in during a power cut.

Questions
Gates in Derby — Common Questions
Can you match my anthracite grey windows in Derby?
Yes. Almost all modern Derby housing uses RAL 7016 anthracite grey. We powder coat gates, fencing and posts to the same reference so the frontage matches your windows, doors and garage door.
Which gate style suits a modern rendered house in Derby?
Horizontal slats in anthracite grey are the most popular choice because they echo the lines of modern windows and garage doors. If you want privacy from the road, we tighten the slat gap or add a solid infill behind the frame.
Can you supply a matching bin store or side gate?
Yes. Side gates, bin screens and letterbox posts are built in the same batch and colour as the driveway gate, so the whole frontage matches.
Do you install in Derbyshire outside the city?
Yes — Ilkeston, Belper, Ripley, Long Eaton and the wider DE postcodes are all inside our normal install area.
