Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Wrong kit choice or poor mounting leads to stuck gates, timber damage and unsafe operation, especially in Upminster's wet autumns and frosty mornings.
Wet autumns and frost seize manual releases, causing delays and rain exposure.
Wrong motor choice or poor mounting can split timber and overload hinges.
Installations lacking obstacle detection and manual-release raise accident risk.
IP54-rated motors protect control boards and reduce weather-related failures.
We check weight, hinges and wiring before motor fit to prevent costly damage.
Who We Help
Common scenarios for Upminster properties.
Homeowners who use gates daily and want remote control, reliable entry and weatherproof motors.
