SW London driveway and electric sliding metal gates

We had our house renovation done earlier this year and had an extremely stressful time with our builder so I thought of doing some more research this time but have really been lost now. Has anyone had your driveway done with iron wrought or steel railing and an electric automated gate installed, all is done by the same company which you would recommend. Could you please message me. I am also debating between iron wrought and steel, which one would be least maintained and more durable. And lastly, no idea of the sort of cost now. How much have you paid for yours(ours is roughly 10m wide and 9m depth for the whole front yard area): driveway, metal railing with brick works/columns and an electric sliding door sort of ideas I have in my mind at the moment.

A company in my local area provides this sort of service:

I haven't used them personally myself, so couldn't tell you about cost, however I can see loads of local examples in their gallery, and those gates look really good in real life too.

I live in SW London but I know various companies that do it. But I also know a child who was killed by these gates and I think they’re simply too dangerous if you have kids.

How horrid Mirabai. Will be extra careful when discussing the type with the fitting company. Our kids are early teenager age.

Thank you for the recommendation Starseeking. It seems they only do gate but not the construction work(paving the driveway and building the bricks walls including small landscaping). I might have to break it into 2 parts.
