Gate Automation
Ornate gates that open smoothly every time, electric automation, rust-resistant finish and hands-free entry.
What We Do
Covering forged metalwork, anti-corrosion powder coating, high-torque motors, secure fixings and bespoke ornamental fabrication.
Metal Gate Installation
Wrought or steel gates with high-torque motors, welded frames, secure fixings and anti-corrosion powder coat.
Decorative Ironwork Gates
Bespoke forged panels and ornamental welds finished with epoxy primer and powder coat for forest-edge properties.
Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Incorrect motor sizing or poor corrosion protection leads to sticking gates, strained automation and premature repairs.
Forest damp and poor finishes let rust spread through welds and panels, increasing repair complexity and costs.
Underspecified motors stall under gate mass, causing gearbox wear, unexpected failures and higher emergency repair bills.
Autumn leaf build-up on woodland drives clogs tracks and sensors, causing jams and safety cut-outs at inopportune times.
Motors specified by measured gate weight and leverage, reducing start-up current and extending gearbox service life.
Epoxy primer and powder coat protect forged iron from forest damp, limiting repaint cycles and metal replacement.
Who We Help
Typical clients include large detached homeowners, woodland-edge properties and developers along the Epping Forest fringe.
Owners of Buckhurst Hill detached homes needing ornate automated gates tailored to luxury driveways and long entrances.
Residents on forest fringe drives needing finishes and motor sizing that resist leaf fall and forest damp effects.
Developers fitting gated entrances for resale appeal who require bespoke ironwork and durable automation for buyers.
How We Work
A local professional surveys, specifies components, and installs with safety testing and a clear handover.
Survey Site
We arrange a local site visit to measure gate openings, assess slope and soil, and record gate mass and access constraints.
Specify System
Design includes forged panels, motor selection, anti-corrosion finish and foundation depth to suit sandy clay and wooded slopes.
Install & handover
Fabrication, welding, motor fitting, sensor setup and safety checks complete the installation with a documented handover.
