Metal Sliding Gates in Essex
Looking to maximize space in your driveway or property entrance? Sliding gates from Regency Ironwork provide a practical, secure, and visually appealing solution for both residential and commercial properties. With over 25 years of experience, we specialise in creating custom designs that match your style and enhance your property’s curb appeal.
Why Choose Our Metal Sliding Gates?
-
Space-Saving Design
Sliding gates are an ideal choice for properties with limited driveway depth or on a slope, as they slide horizontally rather than swinging inward or outward.
-
Enhanced Security
A sturdy steel or wrought iron sliding gate acts as a strong barrier, helping protect against unwanted visitors and securing your property.
-
Customisable Styles
From modern, minimalist designs to ornate, traditional metalwork, our skilled team can create sliding gates that complement your home’s architectural style.
-
Optional Automation
For added convenience, we offer automated sliding gate systems that can be operated via remote control, keypad entry, or other security integrations.
-
Durable Construction
We use high-quality steel and provide finishing options like galvanizing and powder coating to increase weather resistance and minimise maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s some answers to the frequently asked questions our customers have asked over the years.
Do I need planning permission for a sliding gate?
Generally, no, as long as it’s replacing a similar-sized gate and doesn’t exceed certain height restrictions. However, always check with your local authority, especially if your property is listed or in a conservation area.
What’s the difference between tracked and cantilever sliding gates?
A tracked sliding gate runs along a ground track, ideal for level driveways. A cantilever gate uses a counterbalance system and doesn’t require a track, making it suitable for uneven terrain.
Can I automate an existing sliding gate?
In many cases, yes—it depends on the gate’s design, structural integrity, and space for motor installation. We can evaluate your current gate and advise on the best automation solution.
How long does it take to manufacture and install a sliding gate?
Timeframes vary based on design complexity and our workload. Typically, projects take 2–6 weeks from the point of final design approval to installation.
Can I match my sliding gate with other metalwork, like fences or railings?
Absolutely. We specialise in bespoke metalwork and can design your sliding gate to match existing railings, fences, or balustrades.
