Planning & Consent
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.
Cirencester is the largest town in this part of the Cotswolds, built in Cotswold stone with a big conservation area over the centre, and it has the range to match: period town houses, substantial detached property on the edges, and country houses in the surrounding villages with long private drives.
One thing here that applies almost nowhere else we work: this was Roman Corinium, and archaeology is a genuine consideration for anything that involves digging. Underground motors and deep post foundations need thinking about before they are specified, not during. Beyond that it is the usual Cotswold pairing of conservation consent in the centre and generous, straightforward plots outside it.
Cirencester is roughly fifty-five minutes from our unit, up the M4 and across. 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 across Cirencester and the surrounding area — aluminium, timber and steel, as swing pairs or tracked sliding gates, with the automation chosen to suit the weight and the traffic. 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.
Automatic gates in Cirencester are a machine as much as a boundary, and they carry the same duties as any other machine.

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.

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

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.

Light, rust-free and almost no upkeep, which makes it the easiest material to automate. Powder coated in black, grey or a custom RAL, with woodgrain finishes available.
Anyone considering driveway gates in Cirencester should know the motors can go above ground or underground; underground is tidier but depends on drainage and levels.
Cotswold stone boundaries shed grit, and the long country drives outside town bring mud in with every vehicle. Both end up in the same place, which is the gate track.
We pick up gates in Cirencester from other installers regularly, on every mainstream automation brand. Servicing is £234 per gate system per year, including VAT.
Ask about gate automation in Cirencester before replacing a sound pair of gates — it is often the better value answer.
If the garage doors in Cirencester are older than the car, they are probably costing you in heat as well as looks.
The gate installers who fit our work in Cirencester are the same ones who come back for gate repairs.
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 Cirencester 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 Cirencester 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.
The opening usually decides it rather than taste. Swing gates need room for the leaves to open back and cannot open out over a pavement. A sliding gate needs clear runback along the boundary. On a rising Cirencester driveway a gate that clears the ground closed can catch as it opens, so that is worth checking early.
Yes. Whoever fitted your gates in Cirencester, we can usually diagnose and repair them, and we will tell you plainly whether it is worth repairing or has reached the end of its life.
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 Cirencester service — it is the part everyone needs and nobody tests.
Tell us about your opening and we will come back with a realistic price, then arrange a site survey in Cirencester.
