Wooded & Shaded Sites
Leaf fall blocks tracks and triggers photocells, and constant damp is hard on control gear. Sealed enclosures and an annual clear-out deal with both.
Cyncoed is characterised by substantial interwar detached houses with mature gardens, particularly along Cyncoed Road and the avenues running off it.
The main consideration here is the road. Many drives open straight onto a busy through route, so gates need to open inwards, and photocells and a safety edge are not optional extras — they are what makes the entrance safe to use in traffic.
We cover Cyncoed and the neighbouring Cardiff suburbs, roughly forty minutes from base. 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 Cyncoed 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 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.
Choosing automatic gates in Cyncoed is easier from photographs than from a brochure — send us the entrance.

Leaf fall blocks tracks and triggers photocells, and constant damp is hard on control gear. Sealed enclosures and an annual clear-out deal with both.

Coded keypads, fobs, radio, GSM and video intercoms, and app access from your phone — on a new gate or added to one already in place.

The answer where the drive slopes, where the opening is wide, or where you cannot give up the space behind the gate line. The motor sits in the post and the leaf runs along the boundary.

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.
Sliding driveway gates work well in Cyncoed where there is no room for leaves to swing back, provided there is clear runback along the boundary.
Sliding gate automation in Cyncoed needs clear runback along the boundary, which not every entrance has.
We replace garage doors in Cyncoed where the old one is beyond economical repair, and mend it where it is not.
Where a gate opens onto a busy road, safety testing matters more than anywhere. Every service includes a force test and a check of the photocells.
We pick up gates in Cyncoed from other installers regularly, on every mainstream automation brand. Servicing is £234 per gate system per year, including VAT.
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 Cyncoed 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 Cyncoed installation.
There is a manual release on every installation. We walk you through it before we leave your Cyncoed property, and it is checked again at each annual service.
It depends on the height and the setting rather than on the gate being electric. In Cyncoed 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 Cyncoed 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.
Tell us about your opening and we will come back with a realistic price, then arrange a site survey in Cyncoed.
