The two ranges

Pick the range that fits, not the quote that sounds cheapest.

Most gate quotes are impossible to compare because nobody tells you what is in them. We split ours into two. Same engineers, same standards, same safety testing — the difference is how far the design and the access control go.

MonGate Essential aluminium electric swing gates with a swept top, installed between stone pillars
Range One

MonGate Essential

from £6,995inc VAT

A standardised aluminium range in our proven styles and finishes. Everything you need for a proper automated entrance, without paying for a one-off design.

  • Aluminium swing gates in our proven styles
  • Standard widths up to 4m, black or grey as standard — custom RAL +£480 including VAT
  • Reliable ram-arm automation
  • Two handsets, photocells and safety edges
  • Force testing, commissioning and handover pack

Best for a straightforward driveway with a reasonably level, standard-width opening.

Starting price based on suitable existing pillars or posts, a level entrance and power already available at the gate. Groundworks, cabling and your chosen automation may affect the final price — your initial quotation will say so before you commit to anything. Standard tracked aluminium sliding gates are part of the Essential range too — Premium covers bespoke sliding gates, cantilever systems and unusual sizes.

Range Two

MonGate Premium

from £10,200inc VAT

Drawn around your property rather than picked off a page. Bespoke shapes and finishes, timber and steel options, and access control that suits how the house actually runs.

  • Bespoke design in aluminium, hardwood timber or steel
  • Any width, curved or raked tops, swing or sliding
  • Full RAL, woodgrain and dual-colour finishes
  • Underground or premium ram automation, specified to the opening
  • Keypad and handsets as standard
  • Options to add: video intercom, app control, battery backup, integrated lighting, matching pedestrian gate
  • Force testing, commissioning and handover pack

Best for wider or sloping entrances, period and high-value homes, and anyone who wants the gate to match the house.

The from-price covers the bespoke gate and its automation. The options are exactly that — itemised in your written quotation if you want them, never assumed.

Build & Price My Gate
The gate itself

Choose your gate type.

Two ways to open, three materials — the decisions that shape the rest of the quote. Where a driveway is too tight for either, bi-folding, telescopic and cantilever sliding gates open in a fraction of the space, and we quote those through our Premium range. For yards, units and gated developments, see commercial and industrial gates.

Anthracite aluminium electric swing gates between stone pillars

Swing gates

A pair of leaves opening inwards — the most common choice and usually the more economical install. Needs space behind the gate and a fairly level surface.

Wide anthracite aluminium electric sliding gate across a driveway

Sliding gates

Runs sideways along the boundary — the answer for slopes, wide openings, or parking tight to the gate. Standard tracked sliding gates are part of the Essential range; cantilever, telescopic and bi-folding gates are Premium.

Black aluminium electric gates on a suburban driveway
Essential & Premium

Aluminium

Won’t rot or rust, barely needs looking after, and light enough to be kind to the motors. The default for most modern homes.

Hardwood timber electric gates beside a stone pillar and post box
Premium

Hardwood timber

Warm, solid and right at home on period and rural properties. Needs oiling every so often to keep its colour.

Traditional black wrought iron style electric gates
Premium

Steel & wrought iron

Traditional bar and scroll work, or heavy modern frames. The strongest option, and the one to pick if you want to see through the gate.

Access control

Choose how you'll control access.

Every automated gate includes two remote handsets and the required safety equipment. Add coded entry, audio communication, video calling or mobile-phone access to suit how your property is used.

Included

Remote handsets

Two supplied as standard with every automated gate — more can be added for £30 each including VAT.

Included

Safety photocells

Beams across the opening that stop the gate the moment something crosses them.

Optional extra

Keypad entry

A coded entry keypad on the post for anyone you trust. Change the code whenever you like.

Optional extra

Optional extra

Telguard GSM intercom

Calls up to three nominated phones, opens from your mobile, integral keypad included.

Optional extra

Hikvision video intercom

See and speak to visitors and open the gates from the indoor monitor or the mobile app.

What happens next

From first call to working gate.

01

A proper conversation

Tell us about the opening through the form below — a couple of photographs and rough measurements are all we need to get started.

02

A realistic price, before any visit

We come back with which range fits and an initial quotation from your details. If the numbers do not work, you have lost ten minutes — not an afternoon waiting in for a salesperson.

03

Site survey

Happy with the figure? Then we come out, measure properly, and check the levels, the ground and the power run.

04

Fixed written quotation

One itemised price — gate, automation, groundwork and access control. The final specification is confirmed before you place an order or pay a deposit.

05

Manufacture

Your gate is made to the survey measurements. Usually four to eight weeks depending on material and finish.

06

Installation & handover

Groundwork, gate, motors, cabling and commissioning. We force test the gate, set the safety devices and walk you through the manual release, isolation and day-to-day use. You get the handover pack before we leave.

Every install ends the same way

An automated gate is a piece of machinery on your driveway. Ours are force tested and signed off, and you are left knowing how to work yours safely.

  • System type and what it does
  • Access devices and how to add or remove them
  • Safety features and how they are set
  • Power isolation
  • Manual release for power cuts

Installation Handover Pack — both ranges

Before you enquire

The questions everybody asks.

Our Essential range starts at £6,995 and Premium starts at £10,200, both including VAT and fully installed. Where you land inside that depends on the width of your opening, the material, how much groundwork and cabling is needed, and which access control you choose. Send photos and rough measurements and we’ll give you a realistic initial quotation first — the fixed written price follows the survey, and the survey only goes in the diary once you’re happy with the number.

First conversation to handover is usually six to ten weeks. Most of that is manufacture. The installation itself is normally one to three days on site, depending on groundwork and how far the power has to run.

Often not — but treat this as guidance rather than gospel. Gates up to 2m are generally permitted development, dropping to 1m where they meet a road used by vehicles, and listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 directions and planning conditions all create exceptions. Confirm with your local authority before committing; if yours looks borderline we will say so early, not after you have paid.

Swing gates suit most driveways and cost less to install. You need clear space for the leaves to open into, and a reasonably level surface. A sliding gate is the answer where the drive slopes, where the opening is wide, or where you cannot give up the space behind the gate. We will tell you which one your opening actually wants.

Every system we fit has a manual release so you are never locked in or out. On the Premium range we can also fit a battery backup that keeps the gates running through a power cut.

Often, yes. It depends on the condition of the gates, the posts and the hinges — automation puts loads through a gate that hand operation never does. We will check the frame and posts at the survey and tell you honestly whether automating them is money well spent.

They are when they are installed properly. Every gate we fit is force tested and set up with photocells and safety edges so it stops if anything is in the way, and you get a handover pack covering safe operation, isolation and the manual release.

We are based in Monmouthshire and cover the whole of South Wales, east across to Bristol and Bath, north towards Herefordshire and south to Weston-super-Mare. If you are near the edge of that, ring us and ask.
