Gate work in Godalming: what the local housing asks for
Godalming's stock runs from timber-framed and Bargate-stone period homes near the High Street conservation area to generous plots in Busbridge, Munstead and along the Hascombe road. Bargate stone piers are a local signature — we regularly design ironwork to sit against original stone rather than replacing it, and hang from sleeved steel posts where the historic piers can't take the load.
The Wey valley setting means many drives fall toward the road; falling drives suit swing gates better than rising ones, but water management around underground motor boxes needs genuine attention on the lower-lying plots.
Local note: Busbridge and Munstead's larger gardens make cantilever sliders over gravel our most-installed system in the GU7/GU8 area.
