    New bifolding gates for a very wide driveway

    Not only did Philip (Obrien Welder and Fabricator) make our gates he helped us with the original design adding his advice and ideas whilst listening to what we wanted. He kept us informed all the way through the making and then came and fitted them in a clean and professional manner. We are thrilled with our gates.

    First class welder/ fabricator

    Philip came to remove a gate stop and reweld it on the other side so as the gate would open inwards, he quoted from the photos I sent gave me a date and time and was punctual, he arrived at 9am as stated and was very polite, as we have a thatched roof he felt more comfortable in removing the gate and taking it back to the workshop, and said he would be back at 2pm,,and right on time he turned up job done and rehung the gates, couldn't have asked for a better job.

    Gates

    Steel-framed 6-foot side gate

    The gate is beautifully made and the installation coped neatly with all the slight irregularities of the opening it had to be fitted into. We are really pleased with it.

    Motorhome Repairs

    Philip and his team were great, carrying out various welding and fabrication jobs on my motorhome in order to make it damp proof and roadworthy for many years to come. The motorhome was left spotless at the end of their work which I was particularly grateful for!
