The existing entry at this Brighton property was a wrought iron gate set into a curved brick arch. It looked fine twenty years ago. Now the welds were failing, the frame was pulling apart, and it offered zero privacy. Anyone walking past could see straight through.
The real problem was the opening itself. A curved brick arch isn’t a standard rectangle. You can’t order a stock door and trim it to fit. The arch had its own geometry — slight irregularities in the brickwork, a radius that didn’t match any catalogue profile. Whatever replaced the iron gate had to be purpose-built for that specific opening.
