Bespoke iron and electric gates for Surrey's finest homes
Guildford Gates designs, hand-fabricates and installs bespoke wrought iron and electric gates across Surrey — from Victorian scroll pairs on Guildford's period frontages to fully automated estate entrances on the private roads of Oxshott, Weybridge and Virginia Water. Every installation is engineered to the site, automated with CAME, BFT or Nice systems, and force-tested to BS EN 12453 with the paperwork to prove it.
What we do
Electric gates
Swing, sliding and cantilever systems, specified from the site's slope, space and wind — not from stock. Installed, automated and force-tested.
Electric gates →Wrought iron gates
Hand-worked scrolls, finials and period detail on a zinc-protected core. Designed to the house, drawn to scale, built to outlast the mortgage.
Wrought iron →Estate entrances
Gates, piers, lighting, intercom and ANPR designed as one arrival. The complete composition for Surrey's private roads and country properties.
Estate gates →Gate automation
CAME, BFT, Nice and FAAC systems retrofitted to existing gates — after an honest feasibility survey that tells you whether they're worth automating.
Automation →Intercoms & access
Video entry, GSM, keypads, fobs and ANPR — matched to how your household actually works, installed so they keep working.
Access control →Repairs & servicing
All brands, including systems whose installers vanished. Every visit starts with a safety check, because a faulty gate is usually an unsafe one.

Why the wealthy end of Surrey calls us specifically
- Design to the architecture. Victorian scroll beside Victorian brick; flat-bar contemporary iron on modern builds; estate-bar restraint for Georgian frontages. The gate should look inevitable, not installed.
- Engineering before aesthetics. Foundations dug to Surrey clay's demands, motors sized to wind load and not just weight, drainage engineered around underground automation. The invisible work is where gates live or die.
- Compliance as standard, not upsell. Calibrated force testing, safety edges where the entrapment map demands them, and a Declaration of Conformity in every handover pack — the specification most of the industry quietly omits. Read what the law actually requires →
- Radical price transparency. Our cost pages publish the numbers other installers keep for the sales visit. Compare any quote against them, including ours.
