Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions on timber gate automation and Chigwell regulations

Short answers to help you plan, budget, and avoid common timber gate problems.

Small rot accelerates in Chigwell's damp winters. A patch can spread, lead to structural failure and motor overload, and turn a repair into a full replacement. Early sealing or local timber repair is usually far cheaper than later replacement.

Delayed replacement raises motor strain and increases the chance of sudden failure. Emergency callouts and rushed replacements typically cost significantly more than planned upgrades and may damage gates or mounts.

Often no for private driveways, but planning may be required near classified roads, listed buildings, or if the design changes access. We recommend checking with the local planning authority at survey stage.

Typical installations take two to five days depending on foundations and custom timber finishes; longer if deeper foundations or bespoke joinery are required.

Yes. Correct post foundations, drainage for clay soils, and actuator sizing to gate weight prevent sag and misalignment; regular sealing also helps long-term stability.
