Gradient & Ground Levels
A drive that climbs is the single most common reason a swing pair will not work. We measure the fall across the opening at survey, before anything is ordered.

Electric Gates in Backwell
Backwell is a large commuter village below Backwell Hill, and the housing runs from period cottages along the older lanes to substantial detached family houses on the slopes, most on plots big enough for a proper gated entrance.
The rising ground on the hill side is the thing to watch. A swing gate on a drive that climbs will catch as it opens unless the levels are dealt with, so on the steeper plots we normally end up recommending a tracked sliding gate. On the flatter roads a swing pair is straightforward.
Backwell is around thirty-five minutes from our unit, over the bridge and along the M5. 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.
01
Electric Gate Installation in Backwell
Our engineers install automatic gates throughout Backwell and the villages around it, in aluminium, timber and steel. Swing pairs, tracked sliding gates and electric driveway gates, specified to the entrance rather than to a catalogue. Our Essential range starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed, with Premium from £10,200 including VAT for bespoke work.
We force test every finished installation, fit photocells and safety edges as standard, and hand over documentation covering safe use and the manual release. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.
Electric Swing Gates
A swing pair suits most driveways and costs less than a tracked system. You need room for the leaves to open into and reasonably level ground.
Timber Electric Gates
A traditional look with modern security behind it. Heavier than aluminium, so the automation is specified to carry the weight rather than just to fit the budget.
Steel Electric Gates
The strongest option, and the one to pick where security is the point rather than the appearance. Galvanised and powder coated so it stays that way.

Automatic Driveway Gates in Backwell
If you are weighing up driveway gates in Backwell, the gradient of the entrance matters as much as the width — a rising driveway rules out some swing designs.
03
Gate Servicing and Maintenance in Backwell
Ordinary inland conditions, but the gates on the hill collect grit washed down the drives in heavy rain, and grit in a sliding track is what eventually stops it.
We pick up gates in Backwell from other installers regularly, on every mainstream automation brand. Servicing is £234 per gate system per year, including VAT.
Gate automation in Backwell can be above ground or underground; underground is tidier, but it depends on drainage and levels.
Plenty of customers in Backwell have us fit garage doors at the same visit as the gates, which saves a second trip.
Most gate repairs in Backwell come down to photocells, a control board or a tired motor.
Annual Servicing
One visit a year keeps the moving parts right and the safety devices working, and it is when we catch the fault before it becomes a call-out.
Repairs, Any Brand
Gate not opening, motor failure, photocell or intercom faults, repaired on any make of automation whether or not we installed it.
Safety Checks & Force Testing
Photocells, safety edges and a measured force test. If your gate has never had one, it is worth booking before you need the paperwork.

Common questions
Electric gates in Backwell — your questions.
An automated aluminium double swing gate starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed. What moves the figure for a Backwell entrance is the width and height of the opening, whether you choose underground motors, and whether sound posts and a power supply are already there.
You release the gates by hand. We show you how on the day rather than leaving it in a manual, and we check the release still works at every Backwell service — it is the part everyone needs and nobody tests.
Most domestic gates under two metres are fine, but we would never tell you that as a guarantee for a specific Backwell address. Planning conditions on newer developments catch people out. Check with the council and we will tell you what we have seen locally.
£216 including VAT covers the call-out and the first hour on site in Backwell, then £108 including VAT an hour, with parts on top. Most faults are diagnosed and put right inside that first hour.
