Frequently Asked Questions
Here’s some answers to the frequently asked questions our customers have asked over the years.
Will I need planning permission for automated gates?
Usually, automated gates don’t require planning permission if they replace an existing gate of similar height. However, if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or the gate exceeds local height limits, you may need permission. Always check with your local council.
Can you automate an existing metal gate?
Yes, as long as the gate’s structure and hinge alignment are suitable for motor installation. We’ll assess this during our site survey.
What happens if there’s a power cut?
Most systems include a manual override or battery backup feature, allowing you to open or close your gate even during power outages.
How often should I service my automated gates?
We generally recommend a routine service at least once a year to ensure your motors, controls, and safety mechanismsremain in top condition.
Do you offer repairs and spare parts?
Yes. We provide maintenance, repairs, and a full range of spare parts for automated gate systems—whether we installed them originally or not.
