Commercial Gates in the North East – Secure Access with a Professional Finish

For many organisations, the entrance is the first thing visitors see. A well-designed commercial gate can make that first impression a positive one while also serving a crucial role in controlling access and protecting property. Whether you manage a warehouse, school, retail park, or private office, the right gate can help improve security, enhance efficiency, and give your site a professional, well-maintained appearance.

At Charleton Fencing, based near Chester-le-Street, we have been supplying and installing commercial gates throughout the North East for more than 45 years. Over that time, we’ve worked with a wide range of premises and understand that every location has different priorities — from robust security at an industrial yard to a welcoming, client-friendly entrance at a public-facing business.

Why Commercial Gates are a Smart Investment

A secure and well-functioning gate can make day-to-day operations smoother while offering reassurance to staff, customers, and visitors. It helps control who can access your site, reducing the risk of theft, vandalism, or unauthorised parking. For businesses with regular deliveries, the right gate system can also help manage vehicle flow and minimise disruption. Beyond security, a quality gate can improve kerb appeal, making your premises look organised and cared for.

Commercial gates are often chosen for:

Industrial estates and distribution centres – Providing perimeter security and controlled access.

Schools, colleges, and universities – Creating safe, clearly defined entry points.

Retail, leisure, and hospitality sites – Enhancing presentation while securing property.

Private offices and business parks – Managing staff and visitor entry effectively.

Types of Commercial Gates Available

We offer a range of commercial gates to suit different premises, including:

Sliding gates – Space-efficient and ideal for sites with limited room for a swing arc.

Swing gates – Traditional operation, suitable for many types of entrances.

Automatic and electric gates – Improving convenience and security with remote or keypad access.

Steel security gates – Designed for maximum durability and resistance to forced entry.

Timber commercial gates – Offering a natural, professional appearance for public-facing locations.

Design and Customisation Options

Every site is unique, which is why commercial gates can be tailored to specific requirements. Options include powder-coated finishes for added protection and colour matching, decorative infills for a more attractive appearance, and integrated access control systems such as keypads, intercoms, or card readers. Gates can also be designed to match existing fencing or architectural styles, ensuring a consistent and professional look across the property.

Professional Installation and Aftercare

The quality of installation is just as important as the gate itself. Poor alignment, weak fixings, or incorrect foundations can lead to premature wear, security gaps, and operational issues. At Charleton Fencing, we install gates to high standards, ensuring smooth operation, reliable locking, and long-term durability. We can also offer guidance on routine maintenance — such as hinge lubrication, track cleaning, or security checks, to keep your gate in top condition year after year.

If you’re considering a commercial gate for your site in the North East, Charleton Fencing can discuss your needs, explain the available options, and help you select a design that balances practicality, security, and appearance.
