10 Highly recommended wooden gate maker
Posted 11 January
Fantastic communication from start to finish. Promised timings kept. Very helpful and friendly team - it really did feel like a family-run business. Most importantly, the gate is first class. It’s beautifully made and looks very high quality. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a new gate.Verified reviewerJob location: SO4110 Great Service from start to finish

After a very bad experience with a firm who claimed to have experience with hanging gates Wooden Gate Makers were the complete opposite. Great service from people who obviously take a pride in their work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.Verified reviewerJob location: BH8
