Great Dunmow and its surrounding countryside include modern family homes, village properties, listed and period residences, converted barns, farms, equestrian premises and private estates.
Rural entrances can present different challenges from suburban driveways. The gate may be positioned a considerable distance from the property, mobile coverage can vary and the entrance may need to accommodate larger vehicles, deliveries or agricultural traffic.
The design must account for entrance width, ground conditions, power and communication routes, frequency of operation and the appearance of the surrounding property.
Your survey, quotation, installation, warranty and aftercare will be provided directly by the selected independent installation company.

What Our Customers Say
Types of Gates Available in Great Dunmow
We accept enquiries for gate systems designed around different property styles, entrance layouts and access requirements.

Tracked and cantilever configurations may be considered depending on the entrance, ground conditions, drainage and available sideways run-back space.

Single and double swing gates can create a traditional entrance for village homes, country properties, farms and private estates.
They require sufficient opening clearance and suitable supporting structures.

Aluminium gates provide resistance to rust, extensive design flexibility and relatively low surface-maintenance requirements.
Both contemporary and more traditional-looking designs may be available.
Wooden Gates Great Dunmow
Timber gates offer natural character and can complement period properties, barn conversions and countryside surroundings.
They require appropriate treatment and ongoing maintenance.
Commercial Gates Great Dunmow
Heavy-duty automatic gates can support controlled access for farms, equestrian yards, rural businesses, schools and commercial premises.

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.
