Aluminium Gates in Nottingham
AlumaGates designs, manufactures and installs bespoke aluminium gates across Nottingham. Everything is built to your opening in our own workshop — driveway gates, sliding gates, pedestrian gates, railings and metal garages — then powder coated in the RAL colour you choose and fitted by our own engineers. Because we are based in the East Midlands, most Nottingham surveys are booked within a few days and a standard installation is completed in one visit.
Gates that suit Nottingham driveways
The city splits neatly into two jobs. Victorian and Edwardian streets around Sherwood, Mapperley and Forest Fields have short, narrow driveways where a swing gate would either hit the pavement or foul the kerb, so we specify a cantilever sliding gate or unequal swing leaves. Newer estates in Wollaton, Clifton, Gamston and Rise Park have wide openings and space behind the gate line, which is where a double swing gate with underground or ram automation looks and works best.
Automation, power and access control
Most Nottingham enquiries end up automated. We handle the motors, the low-voltage cabling, the safety edges and photocells, and the entry method — fob, keypad, wired or GSM intercom, or smartphone control. Where there is no power at the gate line we plan the route from the property at survey stage so there is no surprise trenching cost after you accept the quote.
Why aluminium rather than steel or timber
Aluminium does not rust, so a Nottingham driveway gate keeps its finish through winter gritting and wind-driven rain without repainting. It is also light — roughly a third of the weight of an equivalent steel gate — so the automation works harder for less, hinges and posts last longer, and a manual gate can be opened comfortably with one hand.

Questions
Gates in Nottingham — Common Questions
Can you fit gates on a narrow Nottingham terrace driveway?
Yes. On tight NG postcode driveways we usually recommend a cantilever sliding gate or unequal swing leaves so the gate never swings over the pavement. We measure the opening and kerb line on the survey and confirm which option is legal and practical for your property.
How quickly can you install gates in Nottingham?
We usually survey within a few days of your enquiry. Manufacture takes a few weeks depending on the collection and colour, and a standard Nottingham install is completed in one day — two if automation and an intercom are included.
Do I need planning permission for driveway gates in Nottingham?
Gates up to one metre high next to a highway, or up to two metres elsewhere, are normally permitted development. Listed buildings and conservation areas such as parts of The Park and Sherwood have tighter rules, so check with Nottingham City Council before ordering.
Can you automate gates that are already fitted?
Often yes. We inspect the existing posts, hinges and leaf weight in Nottingham and confirm whether they will take a motor safely, or quote a new aluminium gate if the frame is not suitable.
