I have just moved into a new semi-d house and I need to get a wooden gate fitted for the side passage. I have rang a couple of places but have got quotes of 500-600 euro. I really just need a basic wooden gate that we can bolt from the inside. I remember on my last house paying about 150 for one, including fitting, but can't for the life of me remember who we got it from.
Can anybody recommend a company in Dublin or Kildare for such a job?
Why not try a scrap/salvage yard or a skip (suppose it would be polite to ask first though) as quite often perfectly reusable doors/gates are thrown away. If you're in DublinMAC's salvage yard over in Islandbridge can sometimes have some useful stuff like this. My mother got a brand new indoor glass panel door (excluding glass and beading) for Eur20, supplied and fitted the glass/beading herself (c. Eur100 from a place on the New Cabra Road) and it came it a lot less than the several hundred euro that she was quoted for the lot elsewhere.
We got ours supplied and fitted with pad lock and all from a guy in Santry. Its the "Side Gate Man" or something like that. Got the number out of the Northside news. He came and was gone in a couple of hours. great job.
