Long Rural Drives
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.
Chew Stoke sits beside the lake, with cottages in the village and farms and larger houses on the surrounding lanes.
A lot of the entrances here are agricultural in character — wide, gravelled and used by big vehicles. That points towards heavier posts, a robust infill and safety devices positioned where a trailer will not clip them.
Chew Stoke is roughly forty-five minutes from us. 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.

Gate installation across Chew Stoke covers the full range: swing pairs where there is room, tracked sliding gates where there is not, in aluminium, timber or steel. Installed prices start at £6,995 including VAT for Essential, rising to £10,200 including VAT for Premium.
Force testing, photocells and safety edges are part of the job rather than an upgrade, and the handover pack explains all three. 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.

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.
