FAQ's

How much do electric gates cost?

The cost depends on the gate size, material, and automation type. On average, a fully installed electric driveway gate starts from around £8,000–£12,500, with bespoke designs or advanced access systems costing more. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after a site visit.

Can my existing gates be automated?

In many cases, yes. If your gates are in good condition and properly aligned, we can retrofit automation systems. Our team will assess whether your current gates are suitable for safe and reliable automation.

What types of automation do you offer?

We install swing gate and sliding gate systems, using high-quality motors suited to your gate’s weight, size, and usage. We offer both above-ground and underground motors, as well as discreet integrated systems for aluminium gates.

Which materials work best for electric gates?

We supply and install steel and aluminium gates. Aluminium gates are particularly popular due to their low maintenance, lightweight strength, and modern finish, making them ideal for automation.

How are electric gates controlled?

You can control your gates via remote fobs, keypads, intercoms, or smartphone apps (with Wi-Fi or GSM access). We’ll help you choose the control option that best fits your lifestyle and security needs.

What happens if there’s a power cut?

All our electric gates include a manual release system, allowing you to open the gates safely if there’s a power failure. We also offer battery backup options for uninterrupted operation.

How safe are automated gates?

Safety is our top priority. We install photocells, safety edges, and obstacle detection sensors to meet current UK safety regulations (BS EN 12453). Every system is fully tested and certified before handover.

Do you offer maintenance and servicing?

Yes. We offer a free 12 month service plan, and recommend an ongoing bi-annual service to keep your gate motors, hinges, and safety systems in top condition. Our maintenance plans help prevent costly breakdowns and ensure long-term reliability.
