“After a bad experience with another local gate supplier we turned to Fortress to get the work done properly! From the initial quote and subsequent planning stage through manufacture and finally the installation, Kevin and the team were outstanding.

Both the level of service and the quality of workmanship are without question at the highest level. If you are looking for the best available then Fortress will deliver.”

Great service from

"Professional service from Kevin and his team. Gates look great and work perfectly. The fitting team were very efficient and tidy and the increase in my coffee bill was well worth it! I would definitely recommend Fortress Gates to anybody thinking of having new gates."

First class service

"The service i received from Fortress was outstandingly good. A friendly and helpful discussion about new car port gates was followed by a detailed drawing being emailed to me for my approval. The fitting was done efficiently, quickly and to a very high standard. I am very pleased with the result."

A Tricky Job

"We recently had electric gates fitted by Fortress. A tricky job for Kev and Neil due to the gradient of the driveway across which they were fitted. What a fantastic job they have done. Pure genius - they look amazing! It's refreshing to deal with a company that is so focused on getting everything exactly as the customers wants. The quality of work was superb but on top of that Kev and Neil are two of the nicest gentlemen I've met in a long time. We would have no hesitation in recommending these guys 100%."

New Metal Gates

"After reading the rave online reviews and actually dealing with Kev and Neil at Fortress Gates, we were so confident in their professional capability that our new metal gates were installed when we were on holiday; they even took the old ones down for us. Needless to say we were delighted with the result as they looked absolutely fabulous and the workmanship is superb. Dealing with Kev and Neil is a dream as they are very efficient and always do what they say they are going to do, which these days is very rare. The whole experience has been hassle free and we would highly recommend Fortress Gates & Fabrications."

Guide Dog Enclosures

"I have returned from annual leave today and was pleased to see our new dog pens installed. I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you. The pens look fantastic and perfect for what we need. I am sure you could tell how pleased the team were yesterday but just wanted to pass on my personal thanks also to you and your team.

We will definitely be in touch as and when we have the budget to purchase the remaining pens, most likely in 2018.

Many thanks again. Look forward to speaking to you again soon. Sarah McNulty Service Delivery Manager Guide Dogs Mobility Team (Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire)"

Fantastic customer service metal gates to the highest standard

"I recently had my drive installed with electric metal gates from Fortress, I was so happy with the standard of work and the quality of the customer service it was to the highest standard right from the quote level all the way through to the final day. I had updates all the way through from Kevin via telephone calls and emails of pictures of how my new gates were coming along which I was really pleased with. Nothing was left unplanned or not thought out and ran by me to see if it was exactly how I wanted it. Kevin and Neil came to do the install and the quality of their work was exceptional along with making you feel at ease all the way through the job. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting gates fitted as the service and work is pure quality."

Driveway gates

"Our old gates finally gave up the ghost! We needed bespoke gates due to the narrowness of the drive. Couldn't have any post sticking out. We are pleased we found Fortress gates. Their attention to detail is excellent and fittings substantial and very well finished exactly what we ordered. They kept us in touch all the way through."

Excellent Service and Quality

"Just had some electric gates fitted to the front of our property. We were on a bit of a tight time frame, but Kevin assured me that they would pull it in for us. True to his word everything was on time and communication was excellent throughout. The gates are extremely heavy, the quality build is superb and better than any I have seen. Kevin and Neil are very conscientious and ran us through everything so we knew how to operate them. I would certainly recommend Fortress Gates and would like to thank them for building us a set of gates that really set off the entrance to our property."

Utterly exceeded all expectations

"This company has surely got to be the best in the business. Their work has to be seen to be believed. I'm very fussy. I want very high quality engineering, both in terms of design, gate build quality, motors and intercom technology complemented by outstanding workmanship. I also want serious value for money and great, friendly service. When I read the reviews about Fortress Gates I thought "too good to be true"! It's not!! They won't allow you to be disappointed! Kevin and Neil are hugely impressive craftsmen of the old school. Nothing is too much trouble and their attention to detail and commitment to quality is exemplary. They are 100% reliable and have created a tremendously well engineered and beautifully fitted set of very large and truly magnificent gates with silent underground Roger motors, great safety features and excellent Videx GPS technology that works flawlessly every time. I truly cannot find fault with this company who are without question the very best of the best! Update May 2017 – 18 months on everything still perfect. Brilliant! Thank you"

VERY PLEASED

"From the start, we got a vibe that this company (Kevin and Neil) knew their stuff and would do a proper job. They had a positive can-do attitude, and LISTENED to our requirements. Precise measurements were taken using laser equipment, and even an exploratory dig was carried out to ensure that on the day of installation the posts wouldn’t interfere with drains. All this was carefully planned and expertly carried out. Nothing was done in a slap-dash manner. Their CAD design system allowed us to make adjustments to the design, and get a better visualisation of how things would look. Installation went smoothly, and we ended up with TOP-QUALITY gates that looked STUNNING. It was definitely worthwhile paying that bit extra for good craftsmanship and attention to detail.

PS. We rarely write reviews, but this company left a lasting impression (for the right reasons!). So glad we chose them."

"Fortress Gates gave a first class service. The gates are very strong and pleasing to the eye.

The workmanship is excellent and unlike some companies there were no extra charges for fitting. Kevin and Neil could not have been more helpful.

Superb

"After waiting for another Firm for some Gates to be made and fitted for 8 weeks and being told to phone and check the progress and then finding out the Boss, who asked me to call, was on Holiday and it would take another 3-5 weeks I contacted Fortress, I couldn't believe the service we got, here to measure up not long after my call and nothing was too much trouble, the Gates are now up and look Fabulous, the Lads were really friendly and knew exactly what we wanted, they made sure we were happy with the every little thing before they left, I can't possibly express how good they were, if you are looking for any Ironwork, Gates etc at all, this is the Firm you should go to! I would use them again without any doubt at all, right price, great job and absolutely Magnificent! There aren't many who would be this good nowadays."

Beautiful Gates

"My gates were designed exactly as I wanted them and the end product was excellent. After the gates were fitted the working area was left clean and tidy. I have had very favourable comments from family and friends to whom I have highly recommended Fortress. Their pricing is comparable to other companies I had quotes from but the service is second to none. If you want a company that will go the extra mile then this is the one for you."

New Driveway Gate

"Fantastic service from Fortress Gates. They promptly arrived when asked to do so and provided a competitive, professional looking quote. Upon being notified that they had been chosen as the supplier/fitter they were here is just a couple of days and we were most impressed by not only the product, but the fitting and finishing. We would heartily recommend Fortress to anyone."

Great Service

"The whole process of working with Fortress Gates was excellent. They took the time with me before manufacture to get the design right and to what I wanted, customer service came first with them and that showed through the whole job. The service and quality has been brilliant they made the process of having new gates to my property straight forward. Kept me informed during the whole process and arranged times for installation to suit me. Installation was quick and tidy with no mess or fuss. The finished product is just what I wanted and to high finish and was a reasonable price. A company that I would highly recommended and use again."

The Company To Use For Railings & Gates

"Fortress have manufactured & installed bifold gates plus railings to the front of my property plus a side gate to secure access to the back garden.. On the first visit I met Kevin and the metal fabricator who made a cracking job and seemed to know exactly what I wanted. Prior to fabricating i was sent a cad drawing which confirmed the height of the gates and the design, once approved they worked at record speed to get them made, powder coated, and looking amazing outside my house. Fortress are a classy outfit , use them and I,m sure your review will read just like mine 10/10 from me."

TOP QUALITY GOODS AND SERVICE

"We have just had metal driveway gates and railings installed by Fortress Gates and are delighted with the results. They are of superior quality and the service from start to finish was exemplary, something that is sadly lacking in this day and age.

Driveway and Side Gates Top Class

"We had some new metal driveway gates & some new double side gates made of metal and cedar wood from Fortress in May 2013. Kev was really good at explaining what they could offer, worked on our quote really quickly and sent us CAD drawings so we could see how they would look. He kept us updated throughout with the progress, fitting date etc. When fitting the guys were very professional, worked really tidy e.g. replacing the block paving perfectly. Will definitely recommend Fortress for any gates, railings etc you need. Top Class."

"The customer service that Fortress Gates have provided has been excellent, when we have had any problems with our electric gates (originally supplied by another company) Fortress Gates have been quick to respond and get our gates working again.

New Wrought Iron Gates

"We decided to get three quotes in the Nottingham area.They were all similarly priced, but we found that Fortress made by far the best presentation. Kevin and Neil answered all of our questions, and explained all the options. They were very technical as well using laser equipment to get the precise measurements. The fitting was of the same standards. We would recommend these craftsmen to anyone. Carlton resident."

Don't look
anywhere else!!

"We cannot express how happy and pleased we are with both the service and quality of what Fortress Gates have provided. We contacted Fortress after we realised that we needed safety railings and gates fitting. We have an adventurous 15 month old and a big drop off some curved shaped walls in our garden which meant that we needed bespoke fitting railings for safety. They were quick to come out and provide a quote, listened to our needs and gave excellent advice on what would best suit our requirements. When it came to installation the service and attention to detail was second to none!! We have already requested additional work by them as we are that impressed and family members are having work now done too!! We cannot recommend Fortress highly enough!"

Fortress Gates and fabrications Ltd

"Their statement "we aren't happy unless we exceed our customers expectation" couldn't be more true. With a mischievous 2 year old our need for driveway gates on a busy main road was rapidly becoming an issue. On meeting with the team they were keen to listen to our needs, quick to respond with a quote and once we accepted kept in touch throughout the process via email on small design alterations and even sent a picture of the midway stage to provide a visual of our new gates. The finished product is both smart and refined, every detail accounted for and at a very reasonable price. Can't say Thanks enough. Highly recommended !!!"

Thank you Kevin & Neil for a most professional job.

"We asked Kevin and 2 other local companies for a price on a supply only basis of a pair of drive gates. Fortress Gates were the marginally cheaper of the 3, but it was Kevin's professional approach, promise of quick turn round and willingness to discuss design details & to work with us, that confirmed them as our preferred choice. We gave Kevin sketches of our requirements and images of the style we were after. He was then able to give us CAD images to show exactly what we were going to be getting. We have just taken delivery of the gates and couldn't be more pleased. We will add a picture to this posting when we have installed the gates.

A first rate service and a first rate product

"After searching a myriad of companies including national companies I found one of the most competitive and best reviewed one to be a local Nottingham company named Fortress. The reviews and the price were worthy of their merits. I am extremely pleased with the gates, the quality of manufacture and the skill of installation. Above all I was particularly pleased with the service, the site visit by Kevin, the design and planning stage and the way I was kept updated about manufacture and installation throughout the process was excellent. Well done guys and thank you."

Top draw install of electric gates.

"I very rarely write reviews and after a false start with another "company" I was ready to give up on the idea of having new electric gates fitted, but after coming across these guys and their company almost by pure chance I feel they and their company absolutely deserve a review, from initial consultation and design right up to the finished product I cannot fault them and their service it really was a pleasure dealing and doing business with you Kev and Neil and the finished install is absolutely spot on, I was always kept informed throughout the project and nothing was too much trouble for them even on handover they took the time out to explain the system so me and my family knew exactly how the various accessories worked, these guys really do offer a bespoke service and product and you really won't find better or more professional people/craftsmen to deal with, if you want the best install with great guys doing it for you then look no further than Fortress, you won't regret it.

Thank you guys it really was a pleasure dealing with you both
All the best

I literally couldn't be happier with Kevin and his team

I literally couldn't be happier with Kevin and his team. Not only have Fortress completely delivered on manufacture and install of the most amazing gates (completely bespoke), they have been a pleasure to deal with and so so pleasant to have around during the works. We wanted a pretty complex entry system which the guys have managed to obtain for us, and everything works seamlessly as well as looking fantastic. Kevin is clearly very conscientious, organised and really cares about the finished job and customer satisfaction, such a breath of fresh air. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Seriously brilliant

"What a fast and fantastic service. Very friendly and helpful and a good team. They listen to what you need and work with you. They send the plans to you, that they have discussed with you. Very professional. They work none stop and cleaned up after themselves.

The quality and finish is amazing.

Would 100% recommend this company. Julie and Richard."
