In a conservation area the council has a view on what stands at your boundary. Getting that view early costs a fortnight; getting it late costs a gate.
Bathwick covers the Georgian terraces and villas east of the river, running up Bathwick Hill towards Claverton Down.
Frontages here are typically narrow and the pavement is close, so a gate that swings outwards is rarely workable. Sliding gates need runback that many of these plots do not have either, which is why the survey matters more here than almost anywhere.
Bathwick is about fifty-five minutes away, and we cover the whole of Bath. 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.

We supply and install automatic gates in Bathwick, from a straightforward aluminium swing pair to a bespoke timber or steel entrance with full access control. Our Essential range starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed, with Premium from £10,200 including VAT for bespoke work.
Every gate we finish is force tested and fitted with photocells and safety edges, and nobody is left without knowing how the manual release works. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.

Single-track approaches limit both the delivery and how far a leaf can open before it is into the road. Both get checked at survey.

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.

The answer where the drive slopes, where the opening is wide, or where you cannot give up the space behind the gate line. The motor sits in the post and the leaf runs along the boundary.
Driveway gates around Bathwick vary enormously, so we price from the opening itself: its width, its fall, and where the power can reach.
Older automation in Bathwick is often tucked into tight spaces with awkward access. We service what is there rather than assuming it needs replacing.
Gate repairs in Bathwick on any brand — Nice, CAME, BFT, FAAC, Beninca, DEA. We do not mind who installed it. Annual servicing is £234 per gate system, including VAT.
Not every pair suits gate automation in Bathwick — a heavy timber gate on tired hinges is usually a rebuild, not a retrofit.
Roller shutter garage doors suit tight garages in Bathwick where an up-and-over would swing out into the drive.
Photocells, safety edges and a measured force test. If your gate has never had one, it is worth booking before you need the paperwork.
Boards, capacitors, limit switches and receivers. Most failures are one component rather than the whole system, and we say which.
Beams that trigger on sunlight, leaves or nothing at all. Usually alignment or a failing sensor rather than the whole safety system.
Whether you call them electric gates, automatic gates or automated gates, they are the same thing — and our electric gate installers fit, automate and look after all of it in Bathwick and the surrounding area.
We pride ourselves on offering an unparalleled service to our clients. Here are just a few reasons why our clients recommend us.
Essential aluminium starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed with above-ground automation. Underground motors are £700 including VAT more, custom RAL colours a fixed £480 including VAT, and black and grey are included for every Bathwick installation.
There is a manual release on every installation. We walk you through it before we leave your Bathwick property, and it is checked again at each annual service.
It depends on the height and the setting rather than on the gate being electric. In Bathwick the ones to check are gates by a highway, in a conservation area or on a listed property. Ask your local authority, and ask us if you are unsure what applies.
£216 including VAT, which covers the first hour from arrival, £108 including VAT per hour after that, parts separate. We tell you what the charge is before anyone is booked in to Bathwick.
