Carvings and fabrication in Norfolk and Suffolk with workshop-made fittings

Add character with custom carved house names, dates, and signs, backed by our in-house metal fabrication for custom hinges and hardware.

What makes us different 

Hand-carved wooden signs

Bespoke wooden signs crafted with care to add a unique and personal touch to your property.

On-site gate furniture made

Custom gate furniture created on-site to match your gates and installation requirements.

Made to measure metalwork

Precision-made metalwork designed to suit your exact measurements, style, and practical needs.

Built for gates, signs and lasting outdoor use

We create specialist metalwork that supports gate manufacture, from made-to-measure components to decorative iron details that give a gate its character. Founded in 1990, we bring extensive experience to every commission, which matters when you need a service that you can rely on. You might need strong hinges for a heavy driveway gate, a neat letterbox built into a design, or spindles that add a more traditional finish. 

 

We also hand-carve wooden house and business signs, finished to cope better with life outdoors. Hingham Gates Ltd works and makes each piece with careful quality control, so you get something practical as well as good-looking. That means fewer awkward compromises on site and a result that feels made for your property, not pulled from a shelf.

Jay took me through all the options and took no offence when I went for the cheaper option (I'm Scottish!). But what a great gate! Looks quality, installed efficiently and no mess left behind. Thoroughly recommend.

Practical workshop work with a personal touch

Our fabrication work covers the smaller details that often make the biggest difference once a gate is in use. We make gate furniture on-site, including hinges, handles, and other fittings, so the finished piece suits the build rather than forcing standard parts into place. We can also produce decorative ironwork for projects that need a little more shape and individuality without losing strength. 

 

Alongside this, we carve bespoke wooden signs, garage and driveway gates, giving you a clear, durable way to mark an entrance or frontage. Customers come to Hingham Gates Ltd when they want workshop-made pieces that feel considered from the start.
