Groundworks & Archaeology
Where the ground is archaeologically sensitive, foundations and underground motors need thinking about before they are specified.
Caerleon is the Roman town on the edge of Newport, with period houses around the High Street and larger properties out along the Usk.
Much of the older centre is a conservation area and there is archaeology under a good deal of it, which matters if underground motors or new post foundations are being considered. Riverside properties also need their ground levels and drainage looked at properly before anything is dug.
Caerleon is about twenty-five minutes from our unit — one of our closest 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.

We fit electric gates throughout Caerleon, with the material and the automation chosen for the opening rather than picked off a list. A standard Essential entrance starts at £6,995 installed, including VAT. Premium, where the shape, finish or access control is bespoke, starts at £10,200 including VAT.
Nothing leaves site without a force test, working photocells and safety edges, and a written handover explaining the manual release. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.
Automatic gates in Caerleon need a safe stopping distance from the road, which is why they open inwards.

Where the ground is archaeologically sensitive, foundations and underground motors need thinking about before they are specified.

A high water table rules out an underground motor. Above-ground automation on a properly drained, raised track is what lasts on wet ground.

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.

Motors buried at the pivot, so nothing is visible alongside the gate. It needs ground that drains, which is exactly what we check at survey.
Automated driveway gates in Caerleon come with photocells and a safety edge as standard, and we measure the closing forces before we leave.
Riverside damp is unkind to underground motor boxes. If yours has been in a while, a service is the cheapest way to find out how the drainage is holding up.
We maintain and repair gates throughout Caerleon, on systems of any age and any brand. £234 including VAT per gate system for the yearly service.
Plenty of our gate automation work in Caerleon is on gates that were hung manually years ago and have earned an upgrade.
We install and repair electric garage doors in Caerleon, including replacing motors on doors we did not fit.
If your gates have stopped, gate repairs in Caerleon are usually cheaper than you fear.
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.
Gate not opening, motor failure, photocell or intercom faults, repaired on any make of automation whether or not we installed it.
Photocells, safety edges and a measured force test. If your gate has never had one, it is worth booking before you need the paperwork.
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 Caerleon 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.
For most homes in Caerleon the answer starts at £6,995 including VAT for a fitted aluminium double gate with above-ground automation. The survey confirms a fixed price, and its fee comes off the installation if you go ahead.
Frequently we can. The gates need to be square, on hinges that are not worn out, with a supply at the entrance. Where that is true, retrofitting automation in Caerleon takes about a day once the power is in.
A straightforward pair goes in inside a day or two. Underground motors take longer because of the foundation boxes, and we confirm which your Caerleon entrance needs at survey.
Width and runback decide it. Openings over about five metres in Caerleon almost always mean a sliding gate, because a swing leaf that long becomes unwieldy and catches the wind.
Tell us about your opening and we will come back with a realistic price, then arrange a site survey in Caerleon.
