Bespoke Wrought Ironwork
Crafted for Your Property
Here at Woodford Gates Ltd, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all ironwork solutions. After all, every home or commercial property we work on is unique, so its gates and railing ought to reflect that. We work closely with you to design and build one-of-a-kind pieces that match the look and spirit of the building to which they are connected.
As your local metalwork specialists, we have much to offer our customers in and around Chigwell. These are some of our most popular services:
Iron gates, by their very nature, are heavy and cumbersome to operate, which is why automated gate systems are such a popular choice among our Essex customers. Even the largest and most impressive set of gates can be opened or closed at the touch of a button from the comfort of your own car.
Not only is this more convenient, it is also a safer and more secure way to access your property.
As our name implies, gates and railings form the core of our business.
We produce everything in-house at our own fabrication yard, ensuring that all components are cut to measure for a perfect fit.
We also craft and install balustrades for your outdoor patios and terraces, providing optimal safety without obscuring the view.
Whether fitted inside or outside, iron staircases and handrails are a striking architectural feature.
We design and install them for practical and decorative purposes, ensuring they offer sturdy support for anybody using them.
We also fabricate and fit a range of balconies, giving you the option to open up your upper floors to the fresh air in safety and style.
The tools and skills we employ to create our well-respected iron gates, railing, and staircases can be put to all kinds of application.
From specialist steel beams or custom-fabricated components, our in-house team of fabrication experts can deliver high-end structural ironwork that meets all necessary safety standards.
We work with all kinds of customers on a wide variety of properties across Essex. These are just a few of the types of building we work on:
Your home is your sanctuary, and a well-crafted gate provides both privacy and peace of mind. We design driveway gates that make a statement and garden gates that add a charming finishing touch to your landscaping. Each piece is scaled to fit exactly, ensuring a smooth swing and a perfect latch every time.
For our business clients in Chigwell and Essex, security is often the primary concern. We manufacture heavy-duty gates designed to deter intruders while maintaining a professional appearance. Our commercial ironwork is built to withstand heavy use and provide a formidable barrier.
Upgrading to an electric system is a smart move for both residential and commercial properties. We use efficient motors and sophisticated entry systems to ensure that you have total control over who enters your property at all times.
You don’t get to stay in business for as long as we have without being good at your job.
At Woodford Gates Ltd, we pride ourselves on delivering a world-class service from start to finish. From the initial design, through the choice of materials, to the final build and installation, we produce the high standard of workmanship and customer service you deserve.
Aside from being a practical material for building gates and railings, wrought iron can look absolutely stunning, given the right finish. Our products are galvanised using the hot-dip method before being primed for optimal adhesion. The final powder coated finish results in a hard-wearing and eye-catching final product. This method also allows us to apply different colours, depending on your specifications.
Of course, that finish isn’t just for aesthetics.
All our materials are chosen and treated for their corrosion-resistant qualities, protecting your new gates and railings against the unpredictable British weather. Tough against wind, rain, frost, and sea air, our wrought ironwork offers an incredible return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Wrought Ironwork
That depends entirely on the complexity of the design, the size of the project, and the finishing options you choose. Typically, once the final measurements are taken and the design is agreed upon, the fabrication and installation process takes between four to eight weeks. We always keep you updated throughout the journey so you know exactly when to expect us.
Of course. Whether you have a hinge that needs welding or a set of railings that requires shot-blasting and re-coating, we enjoy the challenge of restoration. It's a sustainable way to keep the original character of your property intact, without having to pay for a full replacement.
Absolutely. We have a reputation for quality of which we are immensely proud. All of our new installations come with a comprehensive, no-fuss guarantee, covering both the craftsmanship of the ironwork itself, as well as any automated opening mechanisms we install. We want you to be as confident in our products as we are.
We offer a variety of finishes to suit your budget and style. This includes a standard primer finish if you wish to paint them yourself, or our highly recommended galvanised and powder-coated finish for maximum durability. Powder coating is available in a vast array of colours, allowing you to match your gates to your front door or window frames.
Generally speaking, no – so long as the gate is under two metres in height, planning permission is not required. However, certain circumstances will require it. For instance, if the gate is over one metre tall and adjacent to a highway, the property itself is a listed building, or located in a conservation area, you may require council approval. Our team of gate installation experts will be on hand to offer general advice in this matter, based on our extensive experience.
