The cost of manual swing gates in the UK varies depending on size, material, design, and installation requirements. In general, they’re a cost-effective and durable solution for driveways, car parks, and industrial access points.
Typical price ranges (supply only):
- Single-leaf manual swing gates – from around £600 to £1,200
- Double-leaf manual swing gates – typically £1,200 to £2,500+ depending on span and specification
- Wider or bespoke gates – can exceed £2,500+ for larger openings or custom designs
(Installation, delivery, and any groundwork are usually additional.)
Key factors that influence price:
- Material choice
- Galvanised steel (often powder-coated) is the most common — offering strength, durability, and low maintenance
- Aluminium is lighter but generally less robust for heavy-duty use
- Gate size & span
- Wider openings require larger frames, stronger posts, and heavier-duty hinges
- Double-leaf gates increase fabrication complexity
- Finish & appearance
- Galvanised-only is the most economical option
- Adding powder coating (RAL colours) or reflective markings increases cost but improves longevity and aesthetics
- Locking & security features
- Standard options include padlock and hasp or drop bolts
- Additional or more secure locking systems can increase price
- Installation complexity
- Built-in (root-fixed) posts with concrete foundations are more robust but involve groundwork
- Site factors such as sloping ground, restricted access, or underground services can increase labour costs
- Site conditions & preparation
- Uneven ground or poor soil conditions may require deeper foundations or reinforced pads
- Limited access may increase installation time and cost
