Supply & Fit
A lighter gate, a smaller motor, and a powder-coated finish that holds its colour without repainting.
What Goes Wrong
Cutting corners on motor spec, finish prep, or sensor compliance creates problems that show up within the first year.
Fitting a steel-rated motor to aluminium leaves wastes energy, increases wear on hinges, and raises the cost of the whole installation.
A site survey measures gate leaf weight and opening width so the operator is sized to the actual load, not a generic estimate.
Aluminium painted without a primer coat oxidises beneath the surface, causing the finish to bubble and peel within a few seasons.
Powder coating applied over an aluminium-specific primer bonds properly and resists corrosion without the need for periodic repainting.
A powered gate without compliant safety edges and photocells fails BS 13241 and creates a crush risk that leaves the owner liable.
Safety edges and photocells are specified to DHF and Gate Safe standards on every installation we arrange, with force testing on commissioning.
Swing gates fitted where the driveway slope or available space is too tight bind on the ground or block the road when fully open.
The site survey checks ground level, entrance width, and available run-back before swing arms or a sliding track is specified.
Scope of Work
From gate leaf fabrication to control panel commissioning, every element is quoted as part of the same job.
Hinged gate leaves on ram or articulated arm operators, sized to the entrance width and ground clearance confirmed at survey.
Single-leaf sliding gates on a ground track or cantilever system where driveway space rules out a swing configuration.
Any RAL colour applied over aluminium primer, giving a corrosion-resistant finish that does not need repainting to maintain its appearance.
Motor, control panel, remote fob, and optional keypad or app-based access specified, installed, and commissioned in a single visit.
Safety edges and photocells fitted and force-tested to BS 13241 and DHF and Gate Safe standards before the installer leaves the site.
Open and close the gate from inside the car.
PIN-code access for visitors or deliveries.
Operate the gate from a smartphone app.
Post foundations and 18th Edition cabling included.
Why Choose Us
We connect you with vetted local partners who survey, specify, and install, with compliance and accountability built into every job.
Groundwork, post foundations, and 18th Edition wiring are quoted upfront, no surprise additions after the survey.
Every installation is specified to DHF and Gate Safe standards, covering safety edges, photocells, and force testing.
We connect customers with vetted independent local partners who know Chigwell driveways and Essex property layouts.
Motor, control panel, remote fob, and sensors are all commissioned and tested before the installer leaves your property.
Gate leaves are not fabricated until the site survey confirms exact measurements, opening style, and ground conditions.
How It Works
01
Tell us the gate width, driveway slope, and power available and we’ll arrange a local installer to survey and quote the full job.
02
The installer visits, measures the entrance, confirms swing or sliding, and specifies the motor, track or hinges, and safety sensors.
03
Gate leaves, operator, control panel, and sensors are fitted and tested to BS 13241 compliance before the installer leaves the site.
