Pedestrian Side Gates in Hoddesdon (EN11)
Pedestrian Side Gates in Hoddesdon is a specific brief for us — single-leaf pedestrian gates matched into existing fencing runs. The default local answer isn't a stock catalogue drop: it's single leaf on ball-race hinges, thumb-latch and dead-locking hardware, closing stop and drop-bolt where security is a priority. On Hoddesdon sites we also spec around older fence runs in the old town often hide rotted posts under cement skirts — full removal is usually required, which is where a lot of pedestrian side gates jobs quietly fail two years in. Recent work on Cock Lane and High Street. We orient jobs off Barclay Park bandstand. Burford Street side-gate replacement. Bespoke hardwood gate framed for a tight 780mm opening. Original frame was rotten; ironmongery transferred where serviceable.
