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.

Electric Gates in Old St Mellons
Old St Mellons keeps a small conservation-area village core, with much larger modern housing wrapped around it. The older properties are stone and set back behind walls; the newer estates include some of the biggest detached plots on this side of Cardiff, many already gated or built ready for it.
On the modern plots this is usually a straightforward job, and often the entrance was designed with a gate in mind, with ducting already run. In the old village it is the opposite: stone walls, restricted frontages and a conservation area, so the design follows the boundary rather than the other way round.
Old St Mellons is about twenty minutes from our unit, straight down 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 Old St Mellons
We fit electric gates across Old St Mellons and the surrounding area — aluminium, timber and steel, as swing pairs or tracked sliding gates, with the automation chosen to suit the weight and the traffic. Our Essential range starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed, with Premium from £10,200 including VAT for bespoke work.
We measure the closing forces on completion, fit photocells and safety edges as standard, and talk you through the manual release in person. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.
Automatic gates in Old St Mellons are only as good as the safety equipment behind them.
Access Control
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.
Electric Sliding Gates
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.
Aluminium Electric Gates
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.

Electric Gate Servicing and Callout Repairs in Old St Mellons
Gates on the larger estates are used hard, several cycles a day, every day. That is a duty-cycle question, and it is why the motor is specified to the traffic rather than to the price.

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 Old St Mellons — your questions.
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 Old St Mellons installation.
That is most of what we do. Older automation around Old St Mellons often needs nothing more than new photocells, a control board or a proper service.
You release the gates by hand. We show you how on the day rather than leaving it in a manual, and we check the release still works at every Old St Mellons service — it is the part everyone needs and nobody tests.
Often not, though it depends on the height and how close your Old St Mellons entrance sits to the road. Conservation areas and listed properties are the usual reasons a gate needs consent. A call to the local authority first is worth it, and we are happy to talk it through.
