Gatewrights
We manufacture a variety of styles of wooden gates to suit all entrances. Nearly all can be made to measure in both width and height. We supply them in kiln dried hardwood or softwood, timber specifically chosen for its quality and durability. As we've grown through the years since we started in 1982 we have become a highly successful wooden gate manufacturer, yet we are still a small family business with the same values as when we started.

We have a new easy step by step online ordering system, so you can order your wooden gates, garden gate, garage doors, and interior cottage doors at a time convenient to you. We also stock a ranges of accessories including gate locks, hinges & latches, gate letterboxes and even gate automation systems.

Use our handy guides (see left) to help you with sizes. If you don't know anything about wooden gates, don't worry, our staff will be happy to help. We've been a specialist manufacturer of wooden gates for over 30 years. During this time we've refined and perfected our craft and as such, we are very proud of the gates we offer.
Services
They're of an excellent quality and we are very pleased with them - makes a change to get what you've asked for in this day and age. Just to let you know that the gate arrive safe and sound this morning. It was WELL worth the wait! We are so pleased with it. It is fabulous and the quality and finish above all our expectations.
Our softwood wooden gates are made from a premium Scandinavian timber, which is Kiln Dried to 14% water content. The high quality of our timber is why we use spirit based treatment. Contrary to popular belief, pressure treatment is not really suitable for kiln dried timber. If you think about it logically, forcing water back into a dried timber negates drying it in the first place.
Our wooden garage doors have proved very popular. With simple designs and a strong construction, these doors will serve you well for years to come. They can all be made to measure and we can supply the frame as well in both hardwood and softwood. Timber garage doors are a much more traditional look than steel and give the property a more elegant, ornate feel.
Our Cottage softwood internal doors are made to your size requirements by our highly experienced and skilled carpenters. This simple, Traditional design is very popular in old period houses as well as the more contemporary modern homes. We leave the doors untreated for you to finish in your required colour, we recommend a clear wax finish.
Combining a gate and an automation kit creates a "machine" and the person doing the combining must comply with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations. This person is whoever you contract or employ to carry out the installation of the gates and automation or if they are adding automation to previously installed gates.

I would like to say thanks to Gatewrights for the personal gate that was made for me. It’s rare nowadays to see such excellent workman ship and price to match and the delivery was spot on time, so thank you to all the staff for making my purchase so pleasant.

My experience is nothing else than positive. The gate is fantastic and great value for money. I had to wait a bit for it but it was a bespoke product so no surprise there. The delivery date was met and Laurel was absolutely brilliant with the communication.
10/10 from me every time.

Very good quality well made wooden gate. The ordering process is very straightforward and delivery was on time and well organised. Laurel in sales was extremely helpful, polite and efficient to sort out a minor delivery query. A very nice company to do business with. I am a well pleased happy customer. I haven’t had time to fit the gate which is why there is no photo.

I thoroughly researched businesses who supply gates before deciding on Gatewrights. As soon as my gate arrived I knew I'd made the right choice - the quality of workmanship is second to none. Communication and delivery was excellent too. Highly recommended!

Excellent service across the board from initial enquiry through to installation. Our bespoke wooden gate was manufactured and delivered on time. The workmanship is particularly good, and the gate is finished to a high standard with high quality fittings, etc. We are extremely happy with the finished product. We ordered our gate with installation and our experience with the installer was top notch as well. He arrived in the morning, installed the gate professionally and tided up after himself. Will definitely recommend Gatewright to family and friends that are looking for a new gate.

Had a set of double hardwood gates, personal gate and side panels made for self install. Gates arrived on delivery date given. Very impressed with the quality of the gates and when fitted looked fantastic. I found the staff in this company very helpful and wouldn't hesitate to use this company again. Many thanks Cartwright.

Very happy with our gorgeous new bespoke gate. Had searched everywhere for an unusual style side gate and found it at Gatewrights. Had to wait a while for delivery but definitely worth it.

I found the Gatewrights team to be very helpful. The dimensioning was down to the mm, the gates were delivered on the day stated and extremely well protected for transport. They are very well made and extremely solid; posts are very robust, too, with a nice machined profile on each corner.Many compliments from our neighbours so very satisfied with the purchase.

Phoned Gatewrights to ask for some more information about their doors and if they had any pictures. The lady on the phone was the most unhelpful, belligerent person imaginable, to the point of being rude. Their customer service is obviously modelled on Basil Fawlty! We are ordering new doors for our house, but certainly will not be using this company because of the way it treats its potential customers.

I ordered a bespoke size gate so it took a little longer to arrive as stipulated in the Ts & Cs - well worth the wait, good communication and arrived the day organised. Much nicer gate than anything I found off the shelf, solid thick wood, really nice finish, couldn't fault. Thank you.

A side gate installed in September 2016 is already sagged and jamming - now unable to bolt the gate. Its a shame the belligerent approach taken by Gatewrights, Sudbury - refusing to adjust for my elderly and frail parents, yet very happy to take the £621 and brag about quality credentials on their Facebook page etc. The quality of your product is not just about how pretty it looks when first installed, but if it actually still functions a few months later. Poor.
