Space-Efficient Access
Wide driveways with smooth sliding access and obstacle detection — no swing space needed, no manual effort in rain.
What We Do
Covering trackless cantilever systems, heavy-duty motor installation, obstacle detection sensors, and remote control integration for gravel or paved driveways.
Sliding Gate Installation
Heavy-duty motors and cantilever systems for wide driveways
Sliding Gate Automation
Retrofit existing gates with electric openers and safety sensors
Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Most sliding gate failures start with the wrong motor choice or missing safety sensors — underpowered systems burn out, and gates without obstacle detection cause accidents.
Narrow driveways leave no room for swing arcs, causing daily frustration and damage
Metal or timber gates weighing 400 kg require two people to open in wet weather
Gravel driveways and sloped surfaces cause rollers to jam or derail completely
Heavy-duty rack-and-pinion drives handle wide metal or timber gates without strain
Suspended roller systems glide over gravel without ground track clogging debris
Who We Help
From homeowners with narrow driveways to estate owners managing long gravel drives.
Properties with walls or cars close to gate posts needing sliding systems instead of swing arcs
Long gravel drives requiring cantilever gates spanning 6 metres or more without ground track
New build sites incorporating sliding gates for community entrances and phased access control
