A drive that climbs is the single most common reason a swing pair will not work. We measure the fall across the opening at survey, before anything is ordered.
Crickhowell is a market town inside the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, with stone-built properties in the town and houses set along the Usk valley beyond it.
National Park planning is stricter than most, so materials and finishes are worth agreeing before manufacture — a powder-coated aluminium gate in a muted colour usually sits better than a bright finish. Access along the valley lanes can also be tight for a delivery vehicle, which we plan for.
Crickhowell is around fifty minutes from us, and we cover the whole Usk valley. 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 supply and install automatic gates in Crickhowell, from a straightforward aluminium swing pair to a bespoke timber or steel entrance with full access control. The Essential range starts at £6,995 fully installed, including VAT; Premium starts at £10,200 including VAT for bespoke shapes, finishes and access control.
Every installation is force tested, fitted with photocells and safety edges, and handed over with a pack covering safe operation, power isolation and the manual release. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.

A drive that climbs is the single most common reason a swing pair will not work. We measure the fall across the opening at survey, before anything is ordered.

Next to a listed building the gate has to sit comfortably with what is already there. That usually means timber or a painted steel, and a design agreed before anything is cut.

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.
We are asked about driveway gates in Crickhowell more than anything else, and the honest answer is that the opening dictates most of the decisions.
Exposed valley sites see more weather than most. Annual servicing keeps the moving parts free and the control gear dry.
We service and repair gates in Crickhowell whether or not we installed them, on every major brand of automation — Nice, CAME, BFT, FAAC, Beninca and DEA among them. An annual service is £234 per gate system, including VAT.
Gate automation in Crickhowell includes commissioning and a manual release demonstration, so a power cut never shuts you in.
An electric garage door in Crickhowell runs off the same kind of handset as the gates, so one fob does both.
Our gate installers work across Crickhowell, covering new installations, gate repairs and annual servicing.
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.
Coded keypad entry for family and trades, plus programmed handsets. Every automated gate we install comes with remotes as standard.
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.
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 Crickhowell 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.
Our Essential aluminium range starts at £6,995 including VAT for a fitted 3m × 1.6m double swing gate with above-ground automation, and a tracked sliding gate in Crickhowell starts at £9,954 including VAT as a complete system. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anybody.
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 Crickhowell driveway a gate that clears the ground closed can catch as it opens, so that is worth checking early.
That is most of what we do. Older automation around Crickhowell often needs nothing more than new photocells, a control board or a proper service.
Every gate we fit in Crickhowell has a manual release and we demonstrate it in person at handover, so you are never shut in or out. It takes seconds once you have been shown it.
