What Our Customers Say
Types of Gates Available in Chigwell
We accept enquiries for gate systems designed around different property styles, entrance layouts and access requirements.
Sliding Gates Chigwell
Sliding electric gates move horizontally beside the boundary, avoiding the inward opening arc required by swing gates.
They can work particularly well for wide entrances and properties where driveway depth or vehicle parking limits the available opening space.
Adequate sideways run-back space is required.
Swing Gates Chigwell
Single and double swing gates create an elegant and balanced entrance that can complement both traditional and contemporary properties.
They require suitable driveway clearance, supporting structures and ground conditions.
Aluminium Gates Chigwell
Aluminium gates offer contemporary design flexibility, resistance to rust and relatively low surface-maintenance requirements.
Options may include slatted, louvered, traditional, semi-private and full-privacy designs.
Wooden Gates Chigwell
Timber gates provide natural warmth and character and can complement traditional homes and established residential settings.
Wood requires appropriate protection and continuing maintenance.
Commercial Gates Chigwell
Heavy-duty automatic gates can provide controlled vehicle access for businesses, schools, private developments and managed entrances.

Privacy, Convenience and a Distinctive Entrance

A contemporary home may suit a clean-lined aluminium sliding gate, while a traditional property may be better complemented by timber or decorative metal swing gates.

Gate Automation, Access Control and Safety
Modern automatic gates can combine powered operation with access-control technology and protective equipment selected around the entrance.
ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
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.
