A well-built garden gate improves security, privacy and kerb appeal—while making access safer and more convenient for everyday use. Aston Brothers Carpentry Ltd design, build and install high-quality timber garden gates from our base in Burnham-on-Sea, North Somerset, covering Somerset and Devon and regularly working in and around Bristol, Taunton, and Exeter.
Whether you need a simple side gate, a matching pair of garden gates, or a stronger framed gate for heavier use, we focus on correct alignment, durable fixings and a clean finish that lasts in UK weather.
Why Professional Garden Gate Installation Matters
Most gate problems come from poor posts, incorrect hinging, weak fixings, or gates that aren’t built square. Done properly, a new garden gate gives you:
- Stronger security and controlled access
- A gate that opens/closes cleanly without dropping
- Improved privacy (with the right design)
- A neat, smart finish that complements fences and walls
- Durable external fixings and timber choices suited to the outdoors

FAQs – Garden Gates
Do you supply and install garden gates?
Yes. We can supply and install a new garden gate or install a gate you have already purchased, depending on suitability and hardware requirements.
What type of timber is best for a garden gate?
The best choice depends on exposure and budget. We’ll recommend suitable timber options and protective finishes to improve longevity in UK weather.
Can you replace gate posts as well?
Yes. Gate performance depends on solid posts. If posts are loose, rotted or poorly set, we can replace or reinforce them as part of the job.
Can you fit locks and secure latches?
Yes. We can install secure latches, locks and drop bolts depending on the gate design and the level of security required.
My gate drops or scrapes—can you repair it?
Often yes. Gate issues are commonly caused by hinge wear, post movement, or the gate not being square. We can assess and repair where practical.
How long does it take to fit a garden gate?
Many garden gate installs can be completed quickly, but timescales depend on whether posts need replacing and the complexity of the gate. We’ll confirm this at quotation.
Do you cover Somerset and Devon?
Yes. We’re based in Burnham-on-Sea and cover Somerset and Devon, including Bristol, Taunton and Exeter.
Can you match the gate to my fencing or driveway gate style?
Yes. We can match styles and finishes where practical for a consistent look across your boundaries and access points.
