Just finished hand-fabricating three custom iron balcony railings. Next stop, they're heading off to the galvanisers to protect them from the weather, followed by powder coating for a durable, clean finish. ⚒️

Back to school season is in full swing, and CATS School in Cambridge has a fresh new entry for the new term! 🎒🔔

We recently designed, fabricated, and installed this custom automated driveway gate and matching pedestrian gate just in time for September.

From the first CAD drawing to the final wiring, our goal was to build something ultra-secure, reliable for high daily traffic, and clean in design. We also incorporated the school’s crest—featuring their iconic lion shield—right into the gate framework. 🦁🛡️

Check out the video to see it operating smoothly in action! 🎬

Posts are set and solid!! 🏗️

This one is a special job for us. James and Stuart spent all week down at Wycombe Abbey School tackling Phase One—setting the support posts for their new huge new sliding gate.

With a gate of this scale, standard footings won't cut it. The boys put in the hard graft to get everything leveled, braced, and anchored in with a massive concrete pour.

Onto the next phase! Will keep you posted. 😎

A bit of behind the scenes forge action from the workshop! 🛠️🔥

Nick’s been working his way through a batch of scrolls for a new set of gates over at The Leys School in Cambridge. For a job like this, consistency is everything, so he built a custom scroll jig first to shape them all on. Once that steel comes out of the fire red hot, you have to move fast! 🏃

Stay tuned to see them installed! ✨

We had the privilege of fitting these custom blue iron gates for the cycle store at St John’s College! 💙🚲

Projects like this in the heart of Cambridge always feel extra special to us. There’s nothing quite like adding a little bit of our own craftsmanship to a place steeped in so much history—and the bright blue paint sure matches those clear skies we’ve been getting with this heatwave! ☀️☀️

These were custom designed and built right here by our team, then galvanised and powder-coated to stand up to the weather for years to come (even when the British rain eventually returns!). 🛠️🌧️

🏗️ And… it’s out the door! Big shift from the lads today getting this massive order loaded up.

This one is heading over to Wycombe Abbey School, but it’s got a couple of pitstops to make first. It's off to the galvanisers to make sure it survives the British weather, and then straight to the powder coaters to get it looking sharp. ⚡

The workshop is going to feel empty for about five minutes before the next job takes over!
Can’t wait to show you what it looks like when it’s all finished and fitted. 🛠️

✨ We just wrapped up this installation, and we’re so excited to share it! This is a sleek, modern aluminium driveway gate with underground motors hidden completely out of sight.

Our lovely customers chose their own custom colour to complement the farmhouse vibe, and the finish is just stunning. 🎨🏡

We helped them design this minimalist setup to be as practical as it is beautiful. It features a push-button at the exit for easy departures, and the gates can be opened or closed remotely from anywhere via a smartphone app. 📱

Because it's high-quality aluminium, it will never rust, and those underground motors mean it opens smoothly and silently every single time. 🤫✨

If you've been thinking about upgrading your driveway or just want to chat about what colour or style might look best on your property, drop us a message or give us a call. We're always happy to help! 👋

The ultimate country welcome. 🌾✨

There is something beautifully rustic about an estate-style gate. Inspired by classic country farm gates, our Estate Range delivers that timeless, rural charm while offering total security for your property.

For this complete look, we paired the main driveway gate with a matching pedestrian gate—creating a unified, elegant entrance for both vehicles and foot traffic. 🚶‍♂️🚗

The best part? The view stays completely uninterrupted. Thanks to high-performance underground automation, the powerful motors are entirely hidden beneath the surface. You get all the convenience of automatic gates, with zero visible hardware to take away from the metalwork. 🛠️🤫

Bring a touch of the countryside to your home. 🏡
