What we can help with
From a gate that won't budge to a full safety check, engineers we work with handle the systems found on most Surrey driveways.
Electric gate repairs
Most electric gate faults come down to a handful of parts: a motor, the control board, the safety photocells, the power supply or the remotes. A good engineer can usually find the fault on the first visit and fix it the same day if they carry the part.

A gate stuck shut with the car inside, or stuck open overnight, can't wait for next week. Tell us what's happening and we'll pass it to a local engineer straight away, marked urgent.
Servicing and maintenance
Gates that are serviced once a year break down far less and stay safe. A service is also the best time to catch a tired motor or a failing safety sensor before it leaves you stuck.
Motor and control board replacement
Gate motors usually last ten to fifteen years, less if they've been sitting in water or working against stiff hinges. When one goes, it's often possible to fit a new motor without touching the gates themselves.
Intercoms, keypads and remotes
Often the gate is fine and it's the way in that's failed: a dead intercom, a keypad that won't accept the code, or remotes that have stopped pairing.
Gate safety checks
Automated gates are heavy machines, and older installations often fall short of today's safety standards. A safety check tells you whether yours stops and reverses as it should.
