Your garden, considered
Gate, groundwork and automation planned together
An electric gate brings together a gate, posts or piers, groundwork for the motor and cabling, and safety devices. Planning these together avoids problems such as gates that will not open on a slope.
We look at the width and slope of the driveway, choose swing or sliding, and plan footings, cable routes and safety sensors before any work starts.
On larger Orpington plots, gates are often set back from the road with piers and lighting.

Read our warranty termsDo electric gates need planning permission in Orpington?
Gates over 1 metre high beside a road usually do. We advise on this early.
Swing or sliding?
Swing gates need clear space; sliding gates suit tight or sloping drives.
What if the power fails?
Gates have a manual release, and some systems have battery backup.
Can you install paving at the same time?
Yes. Combining gates and driveway work saves time and cost.
