From school-run mornings to late-night arrivals, electric gates make access simple while adding a strong security layer. We install bespoke systems across DA1 and DA2, including Wilmington and Greenhithe. Whether you’re close to Central Park or commuting via the Dartford Crossing, we’ll specify a reliable setup that suits your driveway and routine. Expect a clean, premium finish that looks right from the street.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments means no two entrances are the same. We regularly work with narrow frontages, shared access points and sloped drives where gate geometry and safety edges matter. For wider plots near Swanscombe or Stone, sliding gates can be ideal for maximising parking space. We’ll recommend the right opening style and automation for your layout, not a one-size-fits-all kit.
Our process starts with an on-site survey, measurements and a clear proposal covering gate style, automation and safety compliance. Installation typically takes 2–4 days, including foundations, electrics, commissioning and user handover. We test force settings, photocells and emergency release, then show you how to use remotes and intercom features. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for tidy workmanship, dependable aftercare and a finish that lasts.
In the electric gates Dartford area, we often encounter tight street parking and short drive aprons, so we plan deliveries and installation sequencing carefully. Dartford Borough properties can have mixed levels and older boundary walls, which affects post alignment and foundation depth. We also account for cable routes and power supply locations to minimise disruption. Where access is constrained, we’ll suggest sliding solutions or revised hinge geometry to avoid fouling pavements and vehicles.

For electric gates in Dartford Borough, most homeowners budget £4,000–£7,000 for a quality supply-and-install, depending on size, automation and groundworks.

Most installations take 2–4 days, covering groundwork, posts or track fitting, automation, wiring, safety devices and final commissioning. Timescales vary with gate type (sliding vs swing), curing time for concrete, and whether power needs extending to the entrance. Restricted access, existing wall repairs, or integrating intercoms and keypad entry can add time. We’ll confirm a schedule after the site survey.
In many cases, electric gates are permitted development, particularly when replacing existing gates or staying within typical height limits and boundary rules. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if the gate fronts a highway where visibility and safety are considerations. We’ll discuss your site in Dartford Borough, check any relevant constraints, and advise if a planning application or permissions are needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty covering workmanship and installation integrity, giving you confidence the gates are fitted to last. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to motors, control boards, intercoms and accessories, and we’ll explain what’s covered for each component. After installation, we commission and test the system, then provide guidance on maintenance to keep performance consistent. If an issue arises, we offer responsive support and repairs.
