About Us
UK Metal Gates has been designing and manufacturing metal, aluminium, and composite gates from our workshop in Barking, East London, since 1993.
Our Story
Established in 1993, UK Metal Gates has spent over three decades building a reputation for quality gates and security doors. What started as a dedicated metalworking operation has grown into a full in-house service — design, manufacturing, powder-coating, and installation all carried out from the same workshop, rather than outsourced across separate suppliers.
Trusted by Healthcare and Commercial Clients
Our work has included security gates for NHS hospital sites, GP surgeries, and landlord-managed properties — alongside residential driveway and garden gates for homeowners across the UK.
Our Workshop
Every gate is designed and built at our Barking premises by an experienced in-house team. We offer both made-to-measure gates, built to your exact opening, and a selection of ready-made, fixed-size gates available for same-day dispatch. Our fabrication capability extends to gates up to 15 metres — beyond what most standard gate manufacturers can produce.
