Sliding gates
Gates that slide with precision
When driveway space is limited or the ground slopes awkwardly, a sliding gate is often the only practical solution — and it can be every bit as refined as a swing installation.
We assess your entrance to determine whether a tracked or cantilever sliding system is right for your property. Tracked gates run along a ground rail and suit level drives with adequate run-off space. Cantilever gates hang from a counterbalanced frame with no ground track — ideal for uneven surfaces or entrances where debris could foul a rail.
Every sliding gate system we install includes a motor sized for the gate weight, safety photocells, obstacle detection, and access controls matched to your requirements. We handle foundations, track installation, cabling, and commissioning — delivering smooth, quiet operation from day one.

Groundworks & foundations
Concrete foundations and track beds prepared to tolerances that ensure smooth travel and long motor life.
Safety & obstacle detection

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.”
