Pricing guide
Costs vary most with the type of gate and how much site preparation or upgraded footings are needed. Sliding gates, heavy driveway gates and pool‑compliant installs typically require more materials and labour than a standard pedestrian gate. Call‑out charges, hourly labour and after‑hours attendance usually add to the overall cost.
Gate type and size
Pedestrian gates are typically simpler to install, while heavy driveway or wide gates need stronger posts, heavier hardware and more crew time.
Ground and footing requirements
Poor soil or the need for upgraded footings usually increases concrete, labour and curing work compared with a standard post setting.
Sliding gate track and foundations
Sliding gates generally require a track or rail and a concrete strip, which increases material and groundwork compared with a swing gate.
Labour, call-out and timing
Call‑out charges, hourly labour rates and after‑hours attendance typically change the final price, and larger jobs need more crew time.
Specialist plant, welding and access
Crane use, specialist welding or restricted site access can necessitate additional equipment or a separate inspection and quote.
