Wood Window Manufacturing: A Contractor’s Guide
The process of wooden window production is far more complex than many contractors realise. It’s not simply about cutting timber...
Read MoreDo you need wooden gates supplied and installed in Stockport? At GB Joinery, we manufacture made-to-measure timber gates from our factory in Hazel Grove, serving building contractors across Stockport, Cheshire and Greater Manchester. Our standard lead time is 4 to 6 weeks, and every gate in our range is manufactured to your exact specification.
Our gate range: what we manufacture
We offer driveway gates, pedestrian gates and side access gates in both softwood and hardwood. Every gate is manufactured in-house, meaning we control quality at every stage.
Common timber species we use:
| Timber | Best use | Key benefit |
| Accoya | Driveway and exposed gates | Exceptional stability; resists swelling and shrinkage |
| Iroko hardwood | Heavy-duty commercial gates | High density; low maintenance |
| Redwood pine | Side gates and budget builds | Cost-effective; takes paint and stain well |

Site considerations for contractors
Before ordering, account for these on-site factors:
- Ground conditions – soft or uneven ground requires deeper post setting; flag this at survey stage
- Opening width – measure twice; specify the clear opening, not the post-to-post gap
- Security requirements – we can supply gates with multi-point locking, meaning low risk of retrofit issues later
- Access for delivery – our workshop is based in Stockport, making local deliveries straightforward
Why use a local Stockport joinery manufacturer?
Working with a manufacturer based in Stockport rather than a national supplier offers real advantages for contractors:
- Shorter lead times with no long supply chain delays
- Bespoke sizing on every order, using your drawings or site measurements
- Direct communication with the workshop, not a call centre
We work exclusively with building contractors. If you also need timber doors or windows for the same project, we supply the full joinery package.
