Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Wrong timber choice or undersized actuator causes motor failure, rot, and repeated repairs in exposed, rain-prone Epping locations.
Undersized actuators fail under heavy timber gates, causing motor burnout and unexpected downtime for homeowners.
Chalky clay in Epping leads to post movement and leaning gates unless footings are dug deeper at install.
Periodic sealing and insect checks are needed; neglect increases repair frequency and raises long-term costs.
We size electric actuators to measured gate mass and duty cycle to avoid motor overload and extend service life.
Weatherproof motors with IP54 rating protect electronics from forest rain and exposed ridge conditions common around Epping.
