1: Home Consultation & Assessment
Before we start any works, we will send out a specialist to visit your premises to assess your needs and will provide you with advice and guidance in choosing a gate. There are many options, so it is best if we go through them together to find the most suitable solution for your requirements.
2: Planning & Preparation
Once you have chosen a gate that suits your preferences and budget, we can then being planning and preparing for the installation. This involves taking measurements, marking out the excavation pits for posts, ordering fixings, posts and the gate. Once everything is in place we can then proceed to the next stage.
3: Installing the Posts, Fixings & Gate
We start off by excavating the pits for the posts, inserting the posts into their pits and concreting them in for a solid foundation. The fixings can then be inserted on to the posts and gates can be measured to be best situated. We will then fit the gate/gates and attach them to their correct fixings.
4: Final Checks
Before leaving, we will ensure all fixings are attached correctly and the gate opens and closes properly. If there is anything missed it will be corrected at this stage, leaving you with an all-around perfect gate.
