Electric gate repairs in Cobham
Cobham has some of the highest numbers of gated driveways in Surrey, from Fairmile's large detached houses to newer homes off the Portsmouth Road. Many of those gates are now ten to twenty years old, which is when motors and control boards start to fail.

Gates we see in Cobham
Large pairs of timber or metal swing gates are the norm, most often on underground motors to keep the look clean, with video intercoms back to the house. Long drives mean a lot of gates also have induction loops in the drive for free exit.
Heavy oak gates put real strain on motors and hinges. If a gate has started to judder or stop part-way, it's usually the motor working too hard against a stiff hinge or a gate that has dropped, and fixing the hinge early can save the motor.
