Residential steel driveway gates
As well as providing security and durability, steel gates are economical and stylish. Steel is the material of choice for many gate manufacturers as its strength allows more complex and delicate designs. Traditional wrought iron gates are an example.
WLS manufactures, installs and automates quality galvanised steel gates with a black powder-coating. This durable protection can last up to 50 years. We have installed many sets of automatic steel driveway gates across Brighton. We also servicing and repair all types of electric gates.

Residential wooden driveway gates
Modern wooden gates add elegance & security. A closed face timber gate also offers more privacy. The wood can be selected from sustainable sources and wooden gates improve aesthetically with age, becoming more in tune with the natural environment. If treated correctly, quality wooden gates can also last much longer than both steel and aluminium gates. We can create, install and automate custom wooden gates to your specification.
