Swing gates
Hinged gates done properly
Swing gates remain the most popular choice for residential driveways — and when automated correctly, they offer a timeless entrance that operates effortlessly every day.
We install single-leaf swing gates for narrower openings and double-leaf pairs for wider entrances. Motor selection depends on gate weight, leaf length, and whether you prefer discreet underground operators or articulated arm systems mounted on the gate posts.
Every swing gate installation includes reinforced hinges, concrete foundations for posts, safety photocells, obstacle detection, and access controls configured to your household. We also assess wind loading and ground clearance to ensure your gates open and close reliably in all conditions.
Swing gate options
Automation for every opening
Double-leaf pairs
Symmetrical gate pairs for wide entrances — synchronised motors that open and close in unison.
Underground operators
Discreet below-ground motors that keep gate hardware minimal — popular for timber and wrought iron installations.
Articulated arm systems
Surface-mounted operators suited to heavier gates and situations where underground installation is impractical.
Post & foundation work
Reinforced gate posts set in concrete foundations — engineered to withstand daily operation and weather.
Safety & compliance
Photocells, safety edges, and force limitation configured to protect users and meet UK safety standards.

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.”
