    Construction and installation of gates

    Posted 6 days ago

    These gates are beautiful and have been constructed to the highest specification. The attention to detail is perfect and they have been attracting compliments already. The fitting went without any problems despite the torrential rain was completed efficiently and everything left clean and tidy. Thank you to Henry.

    New Garden Gates

    Posted 10 June

    A very high quality product. We moved to our house in Ferndown in February and soon realised that a gate was needed to secure the frontage of the house. After a search we opted for Wooden Gate Makers. The spec of timber we chose was hardwood (sapele) which is more expensive but looks amazing. An up front payment of £750 is required for WGM to work up a design and estimate. All of their gates are made to measure and as such the delivery time is longer than I expected at 2 months. However when they were ready the posts and doors were installed and fixed to the deadlines we agreed. Very happy!!

And then the end product was simply outstanding, beautiful materials, carefully crafted and expertly fitted. There are many trades in this sector but Wooden Gate Makers are 100% trustworthy with an incredible, quality product.
