Fantastic experience
Fantastic experience. Really helpful and proactive advice during the initial order and design phase. Due to shortages in wood supply there was a delay on deliver but Connor did an excellent job keeping me informed. When it arrived it was a great experience - carefully packaged and then so easy to install. I was worried about doing it myself but don’t be. It was a perfect fit and the automated release system was easy to connect up. Many thanks indeed.
Really solid gate
Really solid gate, well made. Excellent friendly customer service. I'll be buying from these guys again!
I have just had Mcadam short driveway…
I have just had Mcadam short driveway gates and a pedestrian gate fitted in metal framed composite black.
Fabulous gates, I am over the moon with them.
I received great guidance and fabulous customer service from Connor at Gates and Automation.
Thankyou.
Gates & Automation Direct Review
I ordered gates from Gates & Automation Direct just after the first lockdown, I was really impressed with both the quality of the gates and the helpful communication from one of their employees named Paul. Although the order was slightly delayed due to a backlog with the galvanisers they used, this was because of the pandemic and in no way the fault of Gates and Automation Direct. They did a fantastic job of keeping me informed of the order status and after care for my gates.
Again, I’m really impressed with the build-quality of the gates I received. They are taking pride of place on my driveway and I would be happy to recommend Gates & Automation Direct to anyone.
Fantastic side gate
Fantastic side gate
The gate we ordered was delayed due to Covid this was a little frustrating at the time (however the delays were comuicayed and I was kept well up to seed).
But when the gate arrived it was soon forgotten very high quilty and extremely sturdy. If I ever need another side gate it will be from G&A direct (Big thanks to Conner great communication)
A superb side gate
The gate is lovely and much admired. Delivery took a while, probably because of coved, but otherwise service and backup have been excellent
Absolutely brilliant quality Well worth…

I ordered and then coronavirus struck
I ordered and then coronavirus struck. So things were a little delayed. But I have to say it was well worth the wait. I’m delighted with it. Substantial. Quality. Great product. This, I expect, will last for YEARS!
Brilliant customer service
From the start of the research process when I started to enquire about gates, the customer service was impeccable. Connor took the time to talk me through the manufacturing steps and explained how to measure everything so that I was confident I had done it correctly. The effort made by Connor and the team was brilliant from start to finish so that I was confident I had made the right choice. He answered every question thoroughly and I would definitely recommend Gates and Automation Direct. It was great how he checked in regularly with updates and kept me informed during the ordering process.
I cannot recommend this company enough
I cannot recommend this company enough. Their customer service was fantastic - particular name check to Connor who kept me updated throughout. He talked me through the whole process of measuring and explaining how they would fit - I had never done it before and was a little nervous. He answered all my idiotic questions and responded very quickly to all enquiries. The gate looks fantastic - so good I am now considering ordering another one for the other side of our courtyard. They took a while to arrive but that was down to Covid and I was updated throughout the process. The delivery was on the day notified and the delivery man was very pleasant and helpful.
Love the gates
Love the gates - great finish, strong and just what we ordered. Kept informed of progress as covid did its damnedest - really pleased & well worth the wait👍🏼😁
Superb driveway gates
Superb gates; flawless service - and always generous with their time. My 4m total width, anthracite grey gates have only been up 6 days and already a pal in the next village has called me up to complain that his wife just drove by and is now insistent that he buys her a set! He stopped complaining when I told him how much mine cost and he's now cracking open his piggy bank. Great value and I recommend Martin and his team most highly. He delivers on his promises. And more.
Superb gate.....
We ordered a gate from these guys after I rebuilt our garden fence. The selection of gates, and finishes, was exactly what I was after. Powder coated, choice of colours and customisable size, plus a much 'heavier' gauge metal than the usual "diy shop" kind.
Took about 5 weeks from ordering for it to be custom built and delivered, and it was worth the wait.
A *superb* gate.
We are extremely hapy with it, and more so with the customer service we received - Connor Pool deserves a particular name check here, as he was very helpful and stepped through process and checked the gate width would fit the gap, explained the adjustment of width (the wiggle-room), everything. I sent him photos of the gap, and he reviewed them and gave them the thumbs up.
All good.
The gate has been up for about 3 weeks now, and it's just great.
We would *definitely* buy a gate from these guys again. No question.
Classy looking side gate
Ordered online and got exactly what I asked for. Want to say thank you to Connor Pool who kept me updated regarding my order and was very helpful. Will be using this company again as the gate has a quality finish
