Why Choose Custom-Made Driveway Gates?
When we think about the entrance to a home, the driveway gate often stands out as one of the first things people notice. It’s not just an access point, it’s part of the home. That’s why custom made driveway gates are such a good choice for those who want something that suits their style while helping to keep their property more secure.
Standard gates often don’t match your home or garden. They can leave gaps or just look out of place. With custom-made gates, every part is shaped for your space. Whether you like clean, modern lines or a more decorative look, there’s a design to match your taste and the style of your home.
At Cheshire Composite Gates, we work with people who want their driveways to reflect who they are. We help turn those ideas into strong, lasting gates that look good and fit perfectly.
Strong and Stylish Materials
One of the most important parts of a driveway gate is what it’s made of. We use materials that are both strong and look good for years. A popular choice is composite, which combines the strength of metal with the style of wood. It doesn’t crack, rust, or peel like traditional wood or metal gates often do. That means less work for you, and a smarter look that carries on year after year.
Metal railings are another great choice. They add a classic, smart finish to your gate while also making entrances more secure. Powder-coated steel frames keep rust away and stay looking sharp with very little cleaning.
We offer combinations, too; metal frames with composite inserts are our most requested style. You get the strength of steel with the softer touch of a wood effect, designed to stand up to rain, frost, and sun.

Built to Fit Your Space
Every driveway is different. Sloping paths, tight spaces, or odd angles can make fitting a gate tricky. That’s where fitted gates solve problems standard ones can’t.
We measure every entrance ourselves or use the exact details provided to make sure each gate fits properly. There’s no wobbling, sticking, or swinging incorrectly. It opens cleanly and locks easily, just as it should.
You can choose whether you want a sliding gate, a single swing, or a double swing setup. This depends on space and what works best in your home.
If you have a wider entrance or a slope that makes traditional gates tricky, sliding gates are a good answer. They move across rather than outwards, so they save space and won’t catch on the ground.
Security That Looks Good
Security matters. A solid gate helps to keep people and pets inside and strangers or animals out. It also helps to control who can access your property.
Our gates are designed to lock securely and stay in place even in strong winds. Some choose manual locks, while others ask for electric systems that open from inside the house or by remote control.
We offer tough frames, hidden hinges, and tamper-resistant parts to keep gates strong against damage. This is especially helpful for those who live in busier areas or by main roads.
But just because a gate is secure doesn’t mean it has to look cold or factory-made. We help you match the gate to your style, so your home keeps its character.
Designed with Your Style in Mind
Choosing a gate isn’t just about safety. It should look good too. That’s why we offer a range of colours, finishes, and designs, from sleek black to grey tones or wood-effect slats.
Fonts for nameplates, finials on top of railings, or colour-matched side panels are all parts that can bring together the look you want. Whether you enjoy a more modern feel or want something a bit more traditional, we’ll shape the design to suit.
Because these designs are made to measure, we can build in space for letterboxes, lights, or even name plaques that let your gate stand out from others.

Easy to Look After
Lots of people ask how much care goes into keeping their new gate looking good. That’s one of the great parts about composite and metal gates, they don’t need much looking after.
Unlike timber gates that need repainting or sealing over time, our composite boards and powder-coated steel keep their colour and texture with just a quick wipe down now and then.
We also use hidden fixings where possible, which helps keep the gate surfaces flat and clean. Water drains off easily instead of soaking into the material like it would with wood or untreated metal.
If you’re someone who wants a gate that works well and looks smart without needing attention each season, this could be just what you’re after.
Fitting and Delivery Process
We keep things simple. Once we’ve agreed on a design, we either come out to measure up or help you measure your existing space. This means your new gate will be the exact size it needs to be.
After that, we get to work building your gate. We’ll update you during the build, so you know how it’s going. Then we arrange a day that suits you best to install it.
If you’re further away or prefer to fit it yourself, we can also send your gate ready to fit. The gates come with all parts already pre-set, so you or your tradesperson can get them in place quickly and safely.
The team at Cheshire Composite Gates is always nearby via email or call if you need help during fitting or have questions.
FAQs
How long does it take to build and fit my gate?
Most gates take around three to four weeks to build. If we’re fitting them as well, we’ll book that in once the gate is finished. Some designs may take a little longer, depending on extras like automation or side panels.
Do your gates come with a warranty?
Yes. Our gates come with a manufacturer’s guarantee. They’re built using well-tested materials, and we stand by the quality of everything we make.
Can I have my gate match an old style I like?
Of course. If you have a photo or sketch, we’ll build as close to that shape and look as we possibly can. Or, if you want something modern that still suits an older home, we’ll help with that too.
Do you only work in Cheshire?
No, we send gates across the UK and support clients from many areas. Whether you’re nearby or ordering from another county, we can help get your gate built and delivered.
Is there much mess during fitting?
Hardly any. We use safe tools and deal with all materials to make sure everything is tidy. Most gate fittings take a few hours, and we always clean up after ourselves.
