When neither swing nor slide fits
On narrower 1930s frontages there often isn't room for swing gates to clear a car, or for a full sliding gate to run back along the boundary. Bi-folding and telescopic sliding gates solve that, but they have more hinges, rollers and moving parts, so they need regular adjustment and greasing to stay smooth.
Large homes on private roads
Kingswood and Walton on the Hill have many large detached houses, often with heavy gates on underground or arm motors and video intercoms. The chalk here drains well, which is kind to underground motors, but flint and grit can wear tracks and catch under gates.

Banstead & Tadworth: questions
Can you repair bi-folding gates?
Yes. Bi-fold gates usually stick or bind because a hinge or roller needs adjusting or the gate has dropped. Choose “Noisy, slow or jerky” or “Gate won't open” in the form.
