My gates have stopped working — what should I do?

First, check whether the gates are obstructed and whether the power supply is connected. If the problem persists, contact us. We will arrange an engineer visit to diagnose and repair the fault.

Do you repair gates installed by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service automatic gate systems regardless of who originally installed them. Our engineers work with all major automation brands.

How quickly can you attend?

We aim to attend repair calls within one to two working days. For gates that are stuck open and compromising security, we prioritise urgent cases.

Is it worth repairing or should I replace?

It depends on the age and condition of the system. Minor faults — a worn motor or faulty photocell — are straightforward to repair. If the gate leaves, posts, and automation are all ageing, a replacement may be more cost-effective. We advise honestly at the survey.

How do I book a repair visit?

Get in touch via our contact form or call us directly. Describe the fault and we will arrange an engineer visit at a convenient time.

Gate repairs

Repairs that fix the root cause

A gate that jams, stalls, or stops responding is more than an inconvenience — it can leave your property unsecured. We diagnose faults properly and repair them with quality parts.

Our engineers carry diagnostic equipment and common spare parts to resolve most gate automation faults on the first visit. We work with sliding, swing, and bi-fold systems from all major manufacturers — replacing worn motors, faulty control boards, damaged photocells, and failed safety edges.

Beyond emergency repairs, we offer planned servicing to keep your gates operating smoothly and safely. Regular maintenance extends motor life, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and ensures safety devices remain compliant. Whether your system was installed by us or another company, we can help.

What our clients say

“From the site survey to handover, the team were meticulous. Our new sliding electric gates have transformed the entrance — secure, quiet, and exactly what we wanted for the property.”

“We wanted timber swing gates that would complement our period home, not something that looked bolted on. The craftsmanship is exceptional — the automation is whisper-quiet and the finish is flawless.”

“Our driveway entrance was awkward and narrow. They recommended a bi-fold system that works brilliantly — the gates open smoothly every time and the intercom integration is seamless. We could not be happier.”

“Automating our existing gates sounded complicated, but they assessed everything on the survey and explained the options clearly. The retrofit was completed in two days and the safety features give us real peace of mind.”
