What Our Customers Say
Types of Gates Available in Chelmsford
We accept enquiries for gate systems designed around different property styles, entrance layouts and access requirements.
Sliding Gates Chelmsford
Sliding gates move horizontally beside the entrance, making them particularly useful where driveway depth is limited or a wide opening requires controlled access.
Adequate sideways run-back space is required.
Swing Gates Chelmsford
Single and double swing gates offer a balanced, traditional entrance and can complement both period and contemporary properties.
They require sufficient clearance through which the gate leaves can move.
Aluminium Gates Chelmsford
Aluminium gates provide extensive design flexibility, resistance to rust and relatively low surface-maintenance requirements.
Available designs may include modern slatted, traditional, semi-private and full-privacy styles.
Wooden Gates Chelmsford
Timber electric gates provide natural character and privacy, making them attractive for rural homes, period properties and established residential settings.
Wooden gates require appropriate ongoing treatment and maintenance.
Commercial Gates Chelmsford
Heavy-duty automatic entrance systems can provide controlled vehicle access for businesses, managed developments, schools and commercial sites.

Choose an access arrangement based on the property, occupants, visitors and everyday use of the entrance.
GSM Intercoms
Compatible GSM intercoms can allow authorised users to communicate with visitors and release the gate using a mobile phone.
Video Entry
View and speak to visitors before deciding whether to grant access.
Keypad Entry
Provide code-based access for residents, staff or approved visitors.
Fob Access
Issue individual access credentials to regular users.
Smartphone Control
Selected systems may allow gate operation or access management through a compatible phone application.
Vehicle-Access Technology
Depending on the site and equipment, options may include vehicle detection or managed number-plate access.
The installer will recommend suitable equipment after assessing connectivity, infrastructure and how the entrance will be used.
CAN EXISTING GATES BE AUTOMATED?
Some existing manual gates can be automated if their structure and entrance layout are suitable.
Site Assessment
The installer assesses the entrance, opening space, available power and expected usage.
Gate Condition
Hinges, posts, alignment, structure and movement are inspected.
Motor Selection
An appropriate underground, articulated-arm, linear or sliding automation system may be recommended.
Safety Assessment
The entrance and moving gate are evaluated before appropriate protective measures are specified.
Repair or Replacement
Where existing gates are unsuitable, the installer should explain whether repair, strengthening or replacement provides the better long-term option.
Every property is different, so we'll recommend the safest and most reliable option during your free site survey.
Automatic-Gate Safety
Automatic gates are powered machinery and should be designed, installed, tested and maintained appropriately.
Photocells
Photocells can detect an interrupted beam within defined areas of the entrance. They are only one part of an appropriate safety system.
Safety Edges
Pressure-sensitive edges can provide a protective response where specified on moving or fixed parts of the entrance.
Emergency Release
A manual-release arrangement allows the automation to be disengaged during a power failure or system fault.
Force and Functional Testing
The completed system should be tested and commissioned according to the installation design and applicable requirements.
Routine Servicing
Regular maintenance helps identify wear, damage and developing problems within the gate and automation system.
The precise safety measures required depend on the gate, entrance layout, foreseeable users and risk assessment.

Repair support is available for many gate systems, including faults involving motors, controls, safety equipment, intercoms and access-control devices.
