Company & Services

A gate and security company you can actually get hold of

Behind every gate we fit is a company you can actually get hold of. No national call centre. No subcontracting the work that matters. No hard sell. We are a small, focused company that takes on a manageable number of projects and does them properly, and the people who quote the job are the people who turn up to do it.

This section explains how that works in practice.

Simply Secure is a specialist gate and security company based in Roden, near Shrewsbury, and a Gate Safe Premier Installer. We design, supply, install, and maintain gates, automation systems, and premises security for homes and businesses across the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Mid Wales, and we look after every system long after the installation is finished.

How we work

We are a small, focused company that takes on a manageable number of projects and does them properly. Every installation is overseen personally, and we do not subcontract the work that matters. The people who quote the job are the people who turn up to do it.

Every project starts with a free site survey and a written quotation you can take away and think about. We give you honest advice about what will work best for your situation, and we do not pressure anyone into a decision.

We handle every stage ourselves, from the first site visit through to servicing the system years later. You deal with one company throughout, and we stand behind everything we fit.

Safety testing

Automated gates are classified as machinery under UK law, and the duty to keep them safe sits with the owner. Annual testing gives you documented evidence that you are meeting it.

Do you subcontract your gate and security installations?

No. We do not subcontract the work that matters, and every installation is overseen personally. The people who quote the job are the people who turn up to do it.

We are a small, focused company that takes on a manageable number of projects and does them properly. You can read more about who we are on our About Us page, or see how a job runs from first call to handover in our installation process.

Will I have to deal with a call centre?

No. There is no national call centre: when you contact Simply Secure, you speak to a company you can actually get hold of. Call us on 01952 740308 or request a free quote online.

We are a small, focused company, and the people who quote the job are the people who turn up to do it. If you are not sure who you need to speak to, just call us and we will help.

Will I deal with one company from survey to servicing?

Yes. We handle every stage ourselves, from the first site visit through to servicing the system years later, so you deal with one company throughout and we stand behind everything we fit.

After handover we offer annual servicing and breakdown repair and automated gate safety testing, so the team that installed your system can keep looking after it.

Is there any pressure to go ahead after a gate quotation?

No. There is no hard sell. Every project starts with a free site survey and a written quotation you can take away and think about.

We give you honest advice about what will work best for your situation, and we do not pressure anyone into a decision. You can find out what the survey and quotation cover on our installation process page, or request a free quote when you are ready.

Do you work for businesses as well as homeowners?

Yes. We design, supply, install and maintain gates, automation systems and premises security for homes and businesses alike.

For commercial clients our premises security work covers intercoms, bollards, barriers, security grilles and roller shutters, and our recent projects include traffic barriers, fencing and roller doors. You can see examples in our work gallery, including bollards and barriers for business sites.

How can I judge the quality of your work?

The best way is to look at finished projects. The Our Work gallery shows recent installations from across our service area, with the materials and finishes used on each one.

We are happy to show you additional examples relevant to your project during a site visit.

Can I buy a ready-made gate without waiting for a quote?

Yes. Everything in our online shop is ready made, priced and in stock, so there is no quote to wait for. It is the same stock we fit every week.

The shop includes wrought iron gates, aluminium gates, wooden gates and gate and fence accessories. Where nothing in the shop fits an opening, we can make to measure.

Do you sell vehicle and property security products online?

Yes, through Simply Secure Direct, our sister online shop. As an authorised Bulldog dealer, it stocks wheel clamps, hitch locks, steering wheel locks, security chains, padlocks, posts and bollards and gate and fence hardware.

It offers fast UK delivery, and the team is available to offer practical advice before you buy.
