Driveway Access
Hands-free driveway entry, no more struggling with heavy gates or wind-blown swings on Cranham village lanes.
What We Do
Covering hydraulic and electromechanical operators, paired gate synchronization, wind-rated motors, remote control, and safety sensors.
Swing Gate Installation
Site survey, post foundations, and hydraulic or electromechanical operator fitting with safety sensors.
Swing Gate Retrofitting
Attach operator arms, program paired synchronization, and fit obstacle detection to existing gates.
Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Incorrect operator choice or weak fixings often causes ongoing failures and repeated repairs on rural drives; these painpoints follow from wrong specification.
Manual wooden gates on village bungalows need two people to open in wet weather, causing daily frustration and accessibility issues.
Exposed Cranham lanes and sudden gusts cause misalignment and excess wear on operators, increasing the chance of motor overload.
Chalky soils require larger foundations; undersized post fixings loosen quickly and lead to repeated realignment and repair costs.
Radio remotes and secure controllers provide single-button access with programmable user codes for everyday convenience.
Electronic sync sequences both leaves to prevent clash, reduce motor load and extend service life of the operator system.
Who We Help
Owners in Cranham needing low-effort gate control and wind-rated operators for narrow lanes and wet driveways.
Large drives require robust hydraulics, extended-range remotes, and sturdy posts to handle rolling-field conditions.
Developers specifying automated swing gates for show homes and secure plot-by-plot handovers in Upminster and Cranham.

Operator specification
We specify hydraulic or electromechanical operators, wind-rating, torque and remote sync options.
