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 Mumbles
Mumbles rises steeply from the seafront, and the housing climbs with it. Victorian and Edwardian villas sit on terraced plots above the bay, much of it inside a conservation area, with larger detached properties on the higher slopes towards the Gower.
Almost every entrance here is on a gradient, and that rules things in and out early. A swing gate on a rising drive either needs the ground re-levelled or it fouls as it opens, so we often end up on a tracked sliding gate running along the boundary instead. On the conservation streets the style and height need agreeing before anything is made.
Mumbles is a little over an hour from us, west along the M4. 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.
01
Electric Gate Installation in Mumbles
Our gate installers cover Mumbles and the area around it, fitting electric driveway gates in aluminium, timber and steel to suit the opening, the gradient and the way the entrance is actually used. 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.
The finished gate is force tested, the photocells and safety edges 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.
We look after automatic gates in Mumbles from installation through to annual servicing.
Planning & Consent
In a conservation area the council has a view on what stands at your boundary. Getting that view early costs a fortnight; getting it late costs a gate.
Seaside Exposure
Weather off the water is unforgiving on anything mechanical. We specify the finish, the fixings and the automation enclosure for it from the outset.
Timber Electric Gates
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.

Driveway Gate Installation in Mumbles
Driveway gates in Mumbles that get heavy daily use are worth servicing annually; a gate opened twice a day is a different machine from one opened twenty times.

Repairs, Any Brand
Gate not opening, motor failure, photocell or intercom faults, repaired on any make of automation whether or not we installed it.
Safety Checks & Force Testing
Photocells, safety edges and a measured force test. If your gate has never had one, it is worth booking before you need the paperwork.
Motor & Control Gear Faults
Boards, capacitors, limit switches and receivers. Most failures are one component rather than the whole system, and we say which.

Common questions
Electric gates in Mumbles — your questions.
An automated aluminium double swing gate starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed. What moves the figure for a Mumbles 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.
Every gate we fit in Mumbles 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.
Most domestic gates under two metres are fine, but we would never tell you that as a guarantee for a specific Mumbles address. Planning conditions on newer developments catch people out. Check with the council and we will tell you what we have seen locally.
£216 including VAT covers the call-out and the first hour on site in Mumbles, then £108 including VAT an hour, with parts on top. Most faults are diagnosed and put right inside that first hour.
