FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a new gate?
The rules for gates are generally the same as for fencing. If the gate opens onto a highway (or a footpath next to one), you typically need planning permission if it is over 1 metre high.
Elsewhere, you can usually go up to 2 metres without permission.Note: Automated gates may have additional safety requirements, and listed buildings will almost always require consent.
How long does installation typically take?
This depends on the complexity of the system:
Manual Gates: Typically installed within 1 to 2 days.
Automated Gates: usually require 3 to 5 days to allow for groundworks, cabling, and safety commissioning. We will provide a fixed timeline after assessing your site conditions.
Can you automate my existing manual gates?
In many cases, yes. We can often retrofit automation kits to existing gates, provided the pillars and hinges are in good condition and can support the forces involved.
During our site survey, we will assess the geometry of your entrance and the weight of the gates to recommend the best system (e.g., underground motors or articulated arms).
Can you manufacture gates to bespoke sizes?
Absolutely. Unlike standard fencing panels, gates often need to fit specific structural openings.
We offer a full made-to-measure service to ensure your gate fits the exact width and height of your driveway or entrance, ensuring no awkward gaps and a professional finish.
Do you provide maintenance for automated gates?
Yes, and it is highly recommended. Automated gates are moving machines that require regular checks to ensure safety devices (like photocells and crush-zones) are working correctly.
We offer annual servicing packages to keep your gates safe, compliant, and operating smoothly.
