Tree-Lined Approaches
Overhanging trees mean leaves in the track and sap on the ironmongery. It is the commonest cause of a call-out on a drive like this, and an annual visit prevents it.
Abbots Leigh sits in woodland just across the Suspension Bridge, and the houses along the main road and the private lanes off it are mostly large, detached and well set back.
Long private drives are ideal for automation, and there is usually room for either swing or sliding gates. Tree cover is the thing to watch — leaf fall clogs tracks and blocks photocells, so we position the safety devices with that in mind.
Abbots Leigh is about thirty-five minutes from us and one of our most regular areas. Send us a couple of photographs and rough measurements of your entrance and we will come back with a realistic figure before anyone books a visit.

Our engineers install automatic gates across Abbots Leigh and the villages around it, in aluminium, timber and steel, as swing pairs or tracked sliding gates. Essential starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed, and Premium at £10,200 including VAT once the design goes bespoke.
Photocells, safety edges and a documented force test come as standard, along with a handover covering safe operation and the manual release. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.

Where the gate is a long way from the house, the power run, the intercom and the ground conditions all need designing rather than assuming.

Ram or articulated arms mounted on the posts. Simpler to service, easier to retrofit, and the right answer wherever the ground holds water.

A matching side gate keeps people out of the vehicle opening, which is better for safety and saves cycling the main gates a dozen times a day.
Most of what we fit in Abbots Leigh is driveway gates, and the choice usually comes down to whether the entrance suits a pair of swing gates or a single sliding one.

Our Essential aluminium range starts at £6,995 including VAT for a fitted 3m × 1.6m double swing gate with above-ground automation, and a tracked sliding gate in Abbots Leigh starts at £9,954 including VAT as a complete system. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anybody.
Often, yes, and it is usually far cheaper than starting again. What decides it on a Abbots Leigh entrance is whether the gates and hinges are sound enough to carry the motors and whether there is power at the gate. We will tell you honestly if a pair is past it.
Most Abbots Leigh installations are a day or two on site once the groundwork and the power are sorted. What adds time is anything underground — foundation boxes and drainage — or a new supply run to the entrance.
The opening usually decides it rather than taste. Swing gates need room for the leaves to open back and cannot open out over a pavement. A sliding gate needs clear runback along the boundary. On a rising Abbots Leigh driveway a gate that clears the ground closed can catch as it opens, so that is worth checking early.
