Our story

Barnes & CO began with simple roots—just a few tools, a small workspace, and a shared passion for craftsmanship. As a family-run business, we started over a decade ago with one goal: to build high-quality gates that stand the test of time.

What began as a small local service quickly grew through word-of-mouth, repeat customers, and our reputation for honest work. Over the years, we’ve built thousands of gates across the country, all custom-made and expertly installed. Our success is built on hard work, attention to detail, and the values passed down through our family—integrity, reliability, and pride in a job well done.

Today, we’re proud to offer a full-service experience—from design and specification through to production and installation—while staying true to our hands-on, personal approach. We may have grown, but our commitment remains the same: to treat every job like it’s for our own home.

Our key objectives

  • We work closely with you to create a tailored design that reflects your vision, style, and space requirements. Every project starts with a consultation to understand your needs and preferences.

  • Once the design is approved, we finalise all material choices, finishes, hardware, and technical details. This ensures full clarity and accuracy before production begins.

  • Your project is handcrafted using high-quality materials and expert workmanship in our workshop. We maintain high standards at every step to ensure lasting quality

  • Our experienced team carefully installs everything with minimal disruption to your home. We ensure a perfect fit and finish, just as designed.

By combining expert craftsmanship with nationwide installation, we deliver a seamless, end-to-end service that puts quality and customer satisfaction at the heart of everything we do.”
