Metal Gates
Affordable metal gates with exceptional craftsmanship, manufactured in London and installed across Greater London and the Home Counties.
Metal gates are one of the most effective ways to improve security while enhancing the appearance of your property. From traditional wrought iron gates to contemporary steel driveway gates, a well designed entrance creates a strong first impression while protecting your home or business.
At KP Engineering, we design, manufacture and install bespoke metal gates for residential and commercial properties. Whether you need driveway gates, garden gates, pedestrian access gates or security gates for a commercial site, our team delivers tailored solutions that combine strength, durability and visual appeal.
If you are looking for long lasting gates that require minimal maintenance and increase property value, metal gates are the ideal choice.
Why Choose Metal Gates for Your Property?
Metal gates provide a secure and durable entrance solution without compromising on style. Unlike timber gates, which can warp, swell or rot over time, steel and wrought iron gates are built for longevity.
Key benefits of metal gates:
- Enhanced perimeter security and controlled access
- Long lifespan with galvanised steel protection
- Low maintenance compared to wooden gates
- Increased property value and kerb appeal
- Custom fabrication to suit your design requirements
- Powder coated finishes for added corrosion resistance
Metal driveway gates are particularly popular for front entrances, private estates and commercial premises. They offer privacy, security and a refined appearance.

Our fabrication process includes precision welding, structural steel reinforcement and protective galvanisation to ensure long-term durability. Each gate can be designed to complement existing railings, fencing or balustrades for a cohesive look.
Galvanised and Powder Coated Metal Gates
Durability is important when investing in metal gates. All of our gates can be galvanised to prevent rust and corrosion. This zinc coating protects the steel from moisture and environmental damage.
For additional protection and aesthetics, we offer powder coated finishes in a range of colours. Powder coating provides:
- Extra weather resistance
- Smooth and durable surface finish
- Scratch resistance
- Reduced maintenance
With proper galvanisation and coating, metal gates can last for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Gates
How long do metal gates last?
Properly galvanised and powder coated metal gates can last 20–50 years depending on exposure to weather conditions. Protective finishes significantly extend their lifespan.
Are metal gates better than wooden gates?
Metal gates are generally more durable and require less maintenance than wooden gates. They are less likely to warp or deteriorate and provide stronger security.
Do You Need Planning Permission for Metal Gates?
In many cases, planning permission is not required if:
- The gate does not exceed 1 metre in height next to a public highway
- The gate does not exceed 2 metres elsewhere
- It replaces an existing gate of similar height
However, restrictions may apply if:
- Your property is listed
- The building is within a conservation area
- The gate significantly alters the boundary
It is always advisable to check with your local council before installation to avoid delays.
