That variety affects gate choice, hinge geometry, clearances and how we route power and controls without spoiling kerb appeal.

Electric gate installation usually takes 2–4 days from groundworks to final commissioning. Timescales depend on whether posts need new foundations, how far we must run power and control cabling, and whether you’re replacing an existing gate or starting from scratch. Sliding gates can take longer if a new track or substantial base is required. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey.
