What to Expect
### Step 1: Assessment When we arrive, we check your existing setup - gate type, post condition, access. If there are any issues we didn't anticipate, we'll discuss options before starting. ### Step 2: Removal Old gate comes off, hinges and latch removed. We check posts properly now they're exposed - any rot or movement gets flagged. ### Step 3: Installation New gate gets hung with proper heavy-duty hinges. We fit it level and square, adjust the gaps, and install the latch so it catches cleanly every time. ### Step 4: Testing We open and close the gate multiple times, checking swing, clearance, and latch operation. You try it too - we adjust until you're happy with how it feels.

Frequently Asked Questions about Garden Gate Replacement in Crediton
Do you supply the new gate or do I need to buy it?
Either works. We can supply a gate that suits your fence type and budget, or fit one you've already purchased. If you're buying your own, send us a photo first and we'll confirm it'll work with your existing posts and fencing.
What if the gate posts are rotten too?
We'll check the posts when we remove the old gate. If they're dodgy, we'll let you know there and then. We can replace one or both posts as needed - it just adds time to the job. Better to sort it all at once than have a new gate on wobbly posts.
How long will the new gate last?
A decent timber gate should give you 10-15 years if it's treated properly. Metal gates last longer but cost more. We'll advise on what makes sense for your situation. Keeping gates painted or oiled adds years to their life.
Will the new gate match my existing fence?
We do our best to match style and height. Exact colour matches are tricky with weathered fencing, but we can advise on what'll look right. Sometimes a fresh gate makes the old fence look tired - that's just how it is. We'll be honest about what to expect.
