Tailored Installations for Homes & Commercial Sites

Installation Timelines That Match Your Property Type

Every installation is different. Residential properties often require compact gate setups that prioritise privacy, whereas commercial sites often require larger, high-traffic solutions. Our team understands these differences and builds each system accordingly. No matter the property type, our process is designed to be efficient, respectful, and deadline-driven.

Typical Timeframes for Gate Installations:

  • Residential Properties: Most home gate installations take 2–4 days, depending on the complexity of the groundworks, the access system, and custom design requirements.
  • Commercial Sites: Larger systems with multiple access points and integrated security may take 1–2 weeks, including compliance checks and user training.
  • Emergency Fast-Track Options: For urgent needs, we offer express installation on standard gate configurations (subject to availability).

By aligning our timelines with your priorities, we ensure minimal disruption and a hassle-free experience from start to finish.

Designed for Reliability, Installed with Precision

We believe that reliability is the true measure of a quality gate system. That’s why every installation we install is engineered to last, using proven automation systems, robust materials, and skilled installation practices that ensure long-term performance.

What Makes Our Systems Stand Out:

  • Precision Engineering: Our gates are designed with exact specifications to ensure smooth, consistent operation.
  • Durable Construction: Every component is selected for strength, weather resistance, and minimal maintenance.
  • Smart Technology Integration: Easily integrate with your home or business security systems.
  • Built-In Safety: All systems include sensors, soft-close mechanisms, and emergency overrides as standard.
  • Tested Before Handover: We rigorously test every installation before signing off, so you know it works exactly as it should.

For systems that don’t just look great but perform reliably day in and day out, we are the right choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to an automatic gate during a power cut?

All systems include a manual release key; many can add a battery backup so the gate still operates when power is down.

Do I need planning permission for an automatic gate in the UK?

Most domestic gates don’t need permission if they replace an existing gate and are under 2 m (or 1 m next to a highway), but local rules vary—check with your council.

How much does automatic gate installation cost?

Costs vary by size, material, and automation; typical residential projects start from a few thousand pounds, with commercial systems higher.

Which is better: swing or sliding gates?

Swing suits level driveways with room to open; sliding is ideal for sloped or tight entrances and heavy-duty use.

Can you install gates on a sloped driveway?

Yes—sliding gates or specially hinged rising-swing designs work well on slopes.
