Gates made for Old Hill

Old Hill is a short run from the workshop, so we know the housing there and the awkward entry widths that come with it. Driveway gates, side gates, railings and security grilles measured, fabricated and fitted across Old Hill and the B64 postcodes around it, straight from the workshop on Hayes Lane.

WHAT WE MAKE HERE

Ironwork in Old Hill

Old Hill is dense Black Country housing, terraces and semis with narrow entries running between them, so a good part of what we make there is side and entry gates cut to an opening that is never a standard size, along with short runs of railings for low front walls. In practice most of what we are asked for around Old Hill is entry gates between terraces, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

ASKED AND ANSWERED

Working in Old Hill

What do you make for customers in Old Hill?

Across Old Hill (B64) it is mostly entry gates between terraces, driveway gates and short runs of front railings. Old Hill is dense Black Country housing, terraces and semis with narrow entries running between them, so a good part of what we make there is side and entry gates cut to an opening that is never a standard size, along with short runs of railings for low front walls. Everything is measured on site before anything is cut, because openings around here are almost never the size people expect them to be.

Do you charge extra to come out to Old Hill?

No, the travel is in the price. Old Hill is about 4 km from the workshop on Hayes Lane in Stourbridge, well inside the patch we cover every week. What changes the price is the opening: the width, the height, whether there are posts to hang from and how much detail is in the ironwork.

Do you work in Old Hill regularly?

Yes. Old Hill is a short run from the workshop, so we know the housing there and the awkward entry widths that come with it. We are based on Hayes Lane in Stourbridge and cover the Black Country and the West Midlands as standard, so Old Hill is normal week work rather than a special trip.

Does the type of property in Old Hill change the job?

A fair bit. Entries between terraces in Old Hill were built to whatever suited the plot, so they are rarely square and frequently narrower at the back than the front. We measure at several points and make the gate for the tightest one, then pack the hanging side so the finished gate looks like it belongs. It is why these gates get made rather than bought.

How long does a gate take from first call to fitting in Old Hill?

Measuring is usually within a few days of the call, and most gates are fabricated and fitted within a few weeks of that. Old Hill is minutes from the workshop, so measuring and fitting visits are easy to slot in. Where steel posts have to be concreted in we let them go off properly before hanging the gates, which can mean coming back a second time.

Can you repair a gate in Old Hill rather than replace it?

Yes, and it is often the right answer. Dropped leaves, worn hinges, posts that have moved and latches that no longer meet are all repairs. Because we fabricate gates ourselves we can put new steel into an old one instead of selling you a new set, and if it genuinely is beyond saving we will tell you that too.

Can you match existing gates or railings in Old Hill?

Usually we can get very close. Send a photo or let us look at what is there and we will match the bar spacing, height and top detail so a replacement section reads as part of the same run. On very old cast work an exact match in fabricated steel is not always possible, and we will show you the difference before you commit rather than after.
