Electric Swing Gates
A swing pair suits most driveways and costs less than a tracked system. You need room for the leaves to open into and reasonably level ground.
Dinas Powys is a commuter village between Cardiff and Barry, with a housing stock that runs mostly from 1930s detached homes to later estates off Cardiff Road and Murch Road.
Plenty of drives here sit above or below the road, so the fall across the opening is the first thing we measure. Where a driveway is short, a sliding gate often makes more sense than swing leaves that need room to open into.
Dinas Powys is an easy run for us at around half an hour, so survey appointments are simple to fit in. 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.

Our electric gate installers work throughout Dinas Powys and the surrounding area, fitting automatic gates in aluminium, timber and steel — swing gates, tracked sliding gates and electric driveway gates to suit the entrance. 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.

A swing pair suits most driveways and costs less than a tracked system. You need room for the leaves to open into and reasonably level ground.

Overhanging trees mean leaves in the track and sap on the ironmongery. It is the commonest cause of a call-out on a drive like this, and an annual visit prevents it.

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.
Driveway gates in Dinas Powys do not have to be automated from day one — a manual pair can be automated later if the posts are specified for it.
Village properties tend to have gates fitted a decade or more ago. We service and repair any brand of automation, whether or not we installed it.
We pick up gates in Dinas Powys from other installers regularly, on every mainstream automation brand. Servicing is £234 per gate system per year, including VAT.
The weight and width of the leaves decide what gate automation in Dinas Powys costs, more than the brand on the motor.
Insulated garage doors in Dinas Powys make a real difference where the garage is used as a workshop or a utility.
Gate repairs in Dinas Powys on underground motors are more involved, and we will tell you that up front.
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 Dinas Powys 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.
An automated aluminium double swing gate starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed. What moves the figure for a Dinas Powys 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.
Annually suits most Dinas Powys homes, and more often for a gate in heavy daily use. The safety equipment matters most — a gate is a machine and the forces it closes with need checking.
Usually. Automating a sound existing pair in Dinas Powys costs a fraction of a new installation, and the motors can go above ground or underground depending on the levels and drainage.
Typically a day or two on site in Dinas Powys. 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.
