About us

A family workshop based in Wigan since 1992

Newtown Gates & Welding is a family-run business. We design, make and fit wrought iron and composite gates and railings from our own workshop in Wigan.

Our story

John Hurley started Newtown Gates & Welding in 1992. He has more than 30 years in the trade, and today the business is run day to day by his son Jamie and his daughter Christy.

Everything we fit is made in our own workshop, from single garden gates to driveway gates, railings and composite infill gates. Because we make it ourselves, we can build to your exact sizes and style, and we restore older gates and railings too.

We keep things personal, you will deal with the same people from initial contact and measure up to installation. We come out to measure for free at a time that suits you and give you a clear price with installation included.
