How much did you pay for your driveway gates?

If you don't mind sharing, I'm curious to know how much other people have paid for their driveway gates.

I just received a quote for a standard-ish design pair of gates (picture attached) at 1.2m height and 3.5m across in size.

If we get just the gate installed it's £3200
If we get the gates automated so they swing inwards it's £4500..
If we were to get a sliding across gate it would be £7200.

I had googled costs for a rough idea before getting quotes and was hoping to spend about £1200 on a non-automated gate. Does this sound realistic? Feeling quite sad as I was really hoping that we could get it sorted as at the moment our driveway has nothing there .

We're based in London but very much on the peripheries in a location that could even be described as a bit deprived.

PS. The design we want is less frilly than the attached image. I just grabbed the image from Google.

Wooden automated were 10k for us.

We already have gates but need the motors replacing. Lowest quote is about £3k.

The actual kits themselves are expensive, but to learn how to install them safely (and so they’ll function properly) you have to go on a course. Sadly a big chunk of the price is paying for their experience and knowledge.
