Damp riverside air
Homes close to the river live with damp air and, in some places, flood risk. Moisture gets into control boxes, keypads and photocells over time, causing intermittent faults that come and go with the weather. Good seals, raised control boxes and an annual service go a long way.
Sliding gates on narrower plots
Many drives here are too short for swing gates to clear a car, so sliding gates are common. Keep the track clear of gravel and leaves, and have the rack and gear checked at each service so the motor isn't working against wear.
