What Our Customers Say
Types of Gates Available in Loughton
We accept enquiries for gate systems designed around different property styles, entrance layouts and access requirements.
Sliding Gates Loughton
Sliding electric gates move horizontally alongside the boundary and do not require an inward or outward opening arc.
They can suit wide entrances or driveways with restricted opening depth, provided there is sufficient sideways run-back space.
Swing Gates Loughton
Single and double swing gates provide a balanced entrance that can complement both established and contemporary homes.
They require sufficient opening clearance and suitable driveway conditions.
Aluminium Gates Loughton
Aluminium gates offer contemporary styling, resistance to rust and relatively low surface-maintenance requirements.
Options may include slatted, louvered, traditional and full-privacy designs.
Wooden Gates Loughton
Timber gates can complement established homes and properties near more wooded or traditional surroundings.
They provide natural character but require appropriate treatment and ongoing maintenance.
Commercial Gates Loughton
Heavy-duty gate systems can provide controlled access for businesses, schools, managed developments, apartment buildings and private roads.

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.

The right choice depends on the entrance. Swing gates require sufficient opening clearance, while sliding gates require adequate sideways run-back space.
The installer will assess both options during the survey.
How Long Does Installation Take?
Timescales depend on design approval, manufacturing, foundations, groundwork, electrical preparation and installation complexity.
Your installation company will provide an expected project schedule.
Can Existing Driveway Gates Be Automated?
Some existing gates can be automated if their structure, hinges, supporting posts, alignment and entrance layout are suitable.
An engineer must inspect them before making a recommendation.
Are Electric-Gate Repairs Available?
The selected partner can provide repairs for many supported motors, control systems, sensors, intercoms and access-control devices.
Availability depends on the system and replacement parts.
Do Automatic Gates Require Planning Permission?
Requirements may depend on the gate’s height, position relative to a highway and whether the property is listed or within a conservation area.
Property owners should confirm the planning position before work begins.
Can Automatic Gates Be Installed Near a Pavement or Road?
Potentially, but the design must account for vehicle waiting space, gate movement, visibility and the relationship with the highway.
Gates must not open across public space.
How Often Should Electric Gates Be Serviced?
The appropriate frequency depends on the system, manufacturer’s instructions, frequency of use and environment.
Shared and higher-use entrances may require more frequent servicing.
