Design, Supply & Install

Automated Gate Systems

Plan an automated driveway gate system in London, including gates, motors, controls and site-specific protective measures. Compare new installations and suitable upgrades after assessment.

Assessing Your Gate System

Specify the gate and automation as one installation. Ask how the proposal addresses gate movement, supports, electrical supply, visitor access and the risks around moving parts. For an upgrade, identify which components will remain. For a new entrance, include foundations, drainage and making good in the written scope. Commissioning and user instructions should cover the complete installed system.

Read the HSE powered gate safety guidance for the principles behind a complete installation assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I automate existing driveway gates?
Existing gates may be suitable, subject to assessment of their condition, supports, movement and the surrounding entrance. Ask the installer to identify required changes and explain how retained components fit into the proposed system.
What happens during a power cut?
The arrangements depend on the installed system. Ask for its specific shutdown and access instructions and a demonstration at handover. If battery backup is proposed, request the manufacturer specification for that equipment and operating conditions; do not assume a universal number of cycles.
Can I control the gates from my phone?
Phone or app control depends on the controller, access equipment and available connectivity. Ask the installer to confirm compatibility, account administration and any ongoing network or subscription costs for the proposed products.
How much will the work cost?
Request an itemised quotation after the installation has been assessed. Ask which parts, labour, electrical work, access controls and making-good work it includes. Agree any inspection charge and the process for approving additional work before booking.
How long will the work take?
Ask for a schedule based on the surveyed entrance, the proposed work and confirmed parts availability. Agree how you will manage access if the gates cannot return to service during the first visit.
What warranty applies?
Request the written warranty terms for the quoted equipment and workmanship before accepting. Check the duration, exclusions, attendance charges and any servicing conditions. Retained equipment may have different cover from newly fitted parts.
