Choose Premium Metal Gates for Strong Security and a Stylish Look
Keeping your home or property safe is something we all care about, but doing it in style makes a huge difference. Choosing premium metal gates UK is one of the smartest ways to protect your entrance while adding instant visual appeal. Whether you’re a homeowner or a business, this upgrade improves security and makes your space stand out.
At Cheshire Composite Gates, we know exactly how a custom metal gate should look and feel, strong, stylish, and built to last. We’ve worked with families, tradesmen and property owners across the country, providing strong, well-designed gates that don’t just look good, they do the job right.
Let’s take a closer look at why so many people are choosing metal gates, how they improve safety, and how they can boost the overall look of your property.
Why Are Metal Gates More Secure?
When it comes to protecting your space, metal gates are hard to beat. Built from steel or aluminium, they’re designed not to break, sag, or weaken over time. If you add locking systems or electric features, you get even greater control over who comes in and when.
Unlike wooden gates, which can warp or rot in the British weather, metal gates stay strong throughout the seasons. You won’t need to worry much about maintaining them either; they just keep doing the job. And because we create custom-built gates that fit your entrance perfectly, there’s no space for anyone to slip through or tamper with latches and hinges.
We often work with homeowners who tell us they feel more confident the moment their new gate goes up. Whether you’ve got a busy family home or a quiet cottage down a country lane, feeling secure makes all the difference.
Look Good While Staying Protected
Security is essential, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on appearance. One of the biggest reasons people choose metal gates is for their tidy, modern design. With brilliant powders, wood-look finishes, and decorative details available, you can pick a style that suits any home.
From classic black flat-bar gates to intricate laser-cut designs, there’s something to match every taste. Your gate can be big and bold or simple and elegant. You can keep things private with solid panels or choose open designs that show off your garden or driveway.
At Cheshire Composite Gates, we listen to what customers want. We help you shape your vision from the start, so when your gate is ready to install, it fits perfectly, not just in size, but in personality too.
Metal Gates That Last Through British Weather
We don’t get much warning with British weather. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s pouring down. That’s fine if your gate is made to handle it. Aluminium and galvanised steel are long-lasting and won’t rust if coated properly.
We give our gates powder-coated finishes that look sleek and also stop corrosion, chipping or peeling. You won’t need to repaint or treat them every year like you would with timber. Just give them a simple clean once in a while, and they’ll stay looking sharp.
If your home is near the coast or open countryside, you probably already know how harsh wind and salt can be. That’s why the right gate needs to be tough, and our custom-built metal gates across the UK are built to stand firm through wind, rain, frost and everything in between.
Types of Metal Gates for Different Properties
No two homes or properties are quite the same, so we offer a variety of choices to match exactly what you need.
Swing Gates
These are great for driveways and walkways. Whether single or double, they open either inward or outward. We can make them manual or automatic, depending on your needs.
Sliding Gates
Perfect if space is limited. They glide smoothly along a track and work brilliantly in modern homes, offices, or industrial units. Electric versions are ideal for busy driveways or places needing regular controlled access.
Pedestrian Gates
A neat and practical option to control foot traffic without a large driveway gate. These can also be paired with a larger gate for full access control.
Composite-Framed Metal Gates
Our most popular choice. Strong metal frames with composite panels combine the look of wood with the strength of steel. These are low-maintenance and stand the test of time. Learn more about them through the trusted specialists at Cheshire Composite Gates.
Designed to Match Your Home and Taste
More homeowners now want their gates to match the style of their home or garden. That’s why bespoke metal gates are a top pick. We help you choose the height, finish, colour and layout that match your home perfectly.
Whether your house is a classic Victorian or a modern build, we’ve got ideas and designs to suit. If you’ve recently built a new wall or added fencing, we’ll make sure the gate completes the look.
Want something that blocks noise or adds privacy? We’ll suggest solid composite panels or privacy screens. Dreaming of a musical, floral, or animal design? We can craft decorative gates that fit beautifully with your lifestyle.

Q: How long does a metal gate last?
A properly treated and coated metal gate can last over 20 years or more. Regular washing and occasional checks help extend the life.

If they’re not treated properly, they can. That’s why we use powder coatings and galvanised metal to protect all our gates from rust and wear.
Q: Can I get a gate that matches my fence?
Yes. We offer custom options that let us match your new gate to existing fencing, walls, or pillars.
Q: Is it possible to get an automatic metal gate?
Absolutely. We provide electric gate systems with fobs, remote access, keypads or smartphones.
Q: Are composite gates as strong as metal?
Yes. Our composite gates feature a steel or aluminium frame, so you get the strength of metal with a beautiful composite cladding for looks and privacy.
Q: How long does it take to get a custom metal gate made?
Usually between 4 to 6 weeks from final design approval. Complex designs or special finishes might take a little longer.
