Conservation & Listed
Height, style and finish all matter where the boundary is inside a conservation area or attached to a listed building. We would rather agree the design before manufacture than after.
Chew Magna is a Georgian village at the head of the Chew Valley, with stone houses, walled frontages and original piers on many of the older properties.
Stone walls and piers give a gate something handsome to hang on, provided they are sound. Village lanes are narrow, so an outward-opening gate is usually out of the question and we plan around inward leaves or a sliding gate along the boundary.
Chew Magna is about forty-five minutes from us, south of Bristol. 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.

Automatic gates in Chew Magna are something we fit most weeks — aluminium, timber and steel, swing pairs and tracked sliding gates, all installed by our own engineers. Installed prices start at £6,995 for the Essential range and £10,200 for Premium, both including VAT.
We force test every finished installation, fit photocells and safety edges as standard, and hand over documentation covering safe use. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.

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

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.

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.
Driveway gates suit most entrances in Chew Magna, though a narrow opening or a steep approach can push the design one way or the other.
Older piers shift over time and take the gate alignment with them. A service picks that up before it starts damaging the motors.
We pick up gates in Chew Magna from other installers regularly, on every mainstream automation brand. Servicing is £234 per gate system per year, including VAT.
Gate automation in Chew Magna suits older properties where the gates are worth keeping and only the operation needs bringing up to date.
Sectional garage doors are the usual answer in Chew Magna where headroom is limited and insulation matters.
We handle gate repairs in Chew Magna on systems installed years ago by firms no longer trading.
Beams that trigger on sunlight, leaves or nothing at all. Usually alignment or a failing sensor rather than the whole safety system.
Limit switches, obstruction sensing and worn hinges are the usual three. We diagnose before quoting rather than replacing the motor on principle.
Older systems can often keep the gate and gain modern control gear, app access and current safety devices for a fraction of a replacement.
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 Chew Magna 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 Chew Magna installation.
It depends on the height and the setting rather than on the gate being electric. In Chew Magna 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.
A diagnostic call-out to Chew Magna is £216 including VAT, which includes attendance and the first hour from arrival. Additional time is £108 including VAT per hour and replacement parts are charged separately. Ring and describe the fault and we will tell you what it is likely to be first.
Annually suits most Chew Magna homes, and more often for a gate in heavy daily use. The safety equipment matters most — a gate is a machine and the forces it closes with need checking.
