Nottingham — NG2
Aluminium Gates in West Bridgford
West Bridgford driveways are typically wide 1930s frontages on Melton Road, Musters Road and the Lady Bay streets, where a double swing gate with matching railings suits the house better than a boxy panel. We design, manufacture and install aluminium driveway gates across NG2, powder coated in any RAL colour and automated if you want it.

Gate styles that suit West Bridgford homes
Period semis and detached houses around Musters Road and Loughborough Road usually take a vertical-slat or Classicmix design with a slightly arched top rail, so the gate reads as part of the frontage rather than an add-on. On newer Lady Bay and Compton Acres plots the flat horizontal-slat collections in anthracite grey work with grey window frames and rendered elevations.
Automation and access on NG2 driveways
Most West Bridgford installs are automated with underground or ram motors so no hardware is visible from the street. We run the power from the house, fit photocells and a safety edge, and set up fob, keypad or video intercom entry. Where the drive slopes down to the pavement we set the gates to open inward and add ground-clearance to clear the fall.
Survey, manufacture and install
We survey in NG2 within a few days, measure the opening and kerb line, then manufacture in our own workshop. A standard install is one day; adding automation and intercom entry usually makes it two. Everything comes with one written price covering the gate, the motor, the cabling and the fitting.
Questions
Gates in West Bridgford — Common Questions
Do I need planning permission for driveway gates in West Bridgford?
Gates up to 1m high next to a highway, or 2m elsewhere, are normally permitted development. Streets inside a West Bridgford conservation area and listed frontages have tighter rules, so check with Rushcliffe Borough Council before ordering.
Can you match gates to my existing railings?
Yes. We measure the existing infill spacing and powder coat the new gate to the same RAL reference so the boundary looks like one design.
How wide can a West Bridgford driveway gate be?
We build double swing gates to around 5m total and cantilever sliding gates well beyond that. On narrow shared drives we use unequal leaves so nothing swings over the pavement.
