Sloping Drives
Where the ground rises, a swing leaf fouls as it opens. A tracked sliding gate runs along the boundary instead and ignores the gradient entirely.

Electric Gates in Cotham
Cotham is Victorian Bristol at its most characteristic — tall townhouses on steep streets, many divided into flats, with stone walls and original piers to the front.
Space is the constraint. Frontages are shallow, the streets are on a gradient, and original stone piers need proper assessment before they carry a motor. Where an entrance is shared, we set the access control up so every household has its own way in.
Cotham is about forty minutes from us, just north of the city centre. 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.

Electric Gate Installation in Cotham
We install electric driveway gates throughout Cotham, with the specification worked out at survey rather than assumed from a photograph. Essential starts at £6,995 including VAT and Premium at £10,200 including VAT, both figures fully installed rather than supply-only.
The finished gate is force tested, the safety devices are set, and you get a handover pack covering isolation and the manual release before we leave. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.
Automatic gates in Cotham are only as good as the safety equipment behind them.
Narrow Lane Access
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.
Steel Electric Gates
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.
Underground Automation
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.

Timber, Steel and Aluminium Driveway Gates in Cotham
Aluminium driveway gates in Cotham do not rust, do not need repainting and do not swell in the wet, which is why they now outsell timber for us.
03
Gate Servicing and Repairs in Cotham
Shared entrances take heavy use and get little attention. A yearly service is the difference between a gate that works and one that gets propped open.
Repairs and servicing in Cotham cover any make of automation, including systems we did not install. The annual service is £234 per gate system, including VAT.
Underground gate automation in Cotham depends on how the ground drains, which is settled at survey rather than guessed.
Garage doors in Cotham that jam or drag are usually springs or tracks rather than the door itself.
We keep parts for the common makes, which keeps gate repairs in Cotham to one visit where we can.
Storm & Impact Damage
Wind damage and vehicle strikes on leaves, posts and rams. Straightened, repaired or replaced, and re-force-tested afterwards.
Intercom & Video Entry
See and speak to whoever is at the gate and let them in without leaving the house. Radio, GSM and video systems, wired or app-based.
Keypad & Remote Entry
Coded keypad entry for family and trades, plus programmed handsets. Every automated gate we install comes with remotes as standard.

Common questions
Electric gates in Cotham — your questions.
An automated aluminium double swing gate starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed. What moves the figure for a Cotham entrance is the width and height of the opening, whether you choose underground motors, and whether sound posts and a power supply are already there.
Typically a day or two on site in Cotham. The lead time before that is the gates being made, and the survey confirms the ground, the power and the access so there are no surprises on the day.
It comes down to space at your Cotham entrance. If the leaves can swing back into the property, a pair of swing gates is usually the cheaper answer. If not, or the opening is wider than about five metres, a tracked sliding gate is the sensible choice.
Yes, and most repairs we attend in Cotham were installed by somebody else, sometimes by a firm that has since stopped trading. We work on all the major makes of automation and would far rather mend something sound than sell you a replacement.
