Over time, Artscroll Ltd has refined the metal gate fabrication process for properties across Orpington. Our process involves designing, building, and installing bespoke metal gates for both residential and commercial properties.
From curved top gates to straight top gates, driveway gates to pedestrian gates, and side gates to heritage and traditional gates, we manufacture a wide range of options to suit the character of properties throughout Orpington.
Orpington has a broad mix of housing - from Victorian and Edwardian properties close to the town centre and around Orpington High Street, to 1930s and 1950s family homes in Petts Wood and Crofton, through to larger detached and executive properties in Farnborough and Chelsfield.
Because of this variety, gates installed in Orpington need to be carefully proportioned. Older properties often have narrower driveways and established brick pier entrances, while larger homes and newer developments may feature wider openings and more contemporary finishes. Artscroll Ltd manufactures gates to exact measurements, ensuring they sit naturally within the property’s frontage rather than looking oversized or out of place.
AUTOMATION & FINISHING
Metal gates installed in Orpington can also be automated for added convenience and security. Automation systems can integrate with:
Keypads
Intercom systems
Remote controls
GSM access control
Orpington’s proximity to the A21, M25 and key commuter rail links into Central London means many homes experience steady daily traffic, particularly around routes connecting Bromley, Sevenoaks and the wider South East. As a result, homeowners often look to secure driveways and side access while maintaining an attractive and welcoming frontage rather than creating a fortress-like appearance.
Automated driveway gates are particularly popular locally because they allow safe entry and exit without stepping into the road. Combined GSM and intercom systems also provide reassurance for households managing deliveries, trades, and visitors throughout the day.

WOODEN INFILL GATES IN ORPINGTON
Metal framed wooden gates are a popular choice for homeowners in Orpington looking to combine strength with warmth and character. Each gate is custom fabricated to size from steel and fitted with high-quality hardwood infills (typically cedar — one of the most stable timbers available).
DURABILITY MEETS APPEARANCE
The metal frame provides security and longevity, while the timber infill softens the appearance — making it ideal for front entrances and garden access points throughout Orpington. These are especially popular on residential streets where homeowners want privacy from pavement level without losing a welcoming frontage.
LOW MAINTENANCE
The steel structure resists corrosion, and the timber can be treated to withstand British weather conditions, meaning long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep.
Benefits:
Durable
Strong
Warm appearance
No warping
Low maintenance
Stainable finishes
Full privacy options
A metal framed wooden gate is one of the most balanced solutions for properties across Orpington.
COMPOSITE GATES IN ORPINGTON
Composite infill gates are becoming increasingly popular across Orpington due to their clean appearance and maintenance-free performance. These gates combine a steel frame with modern composite boards to provide the look of timber without the upkeep. They work particularly well on newer homes and renovated properties where doors, windows and fencing follow a modern colour scheme.
