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.
Radyr and Morganstown combine Edwardian houses near the station with newer executive homes on the higher ground off Heol Isaf.
The approach into several roads here climbs steeply, which affects how a swing gate hangs and how far it can open before it fouls the ground. Where the fall is severe we would normally look at a sliding gate on a level track instead.
Radyr is around forty minutes from our unit, and easy to reach off the A470. 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 Radyr 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. Our Essential range starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed, with Premium from £10,200 including VAT for bespoke work.
Every gate we finish is force tested and fitted with photocells and safety edges, and nobody is left without knowing how the manual release works. 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.

A drive that climbs is the single most common reason a swing pair will not work. We measure the fall across the opening at survey, before anything is ordered.

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.

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.
A pair of driveway gates in Radyr can be hung on existing pillars if they are sound, which saves the cost of new posts.
Gates on sloping drives wear their hinges harder. A yearly service picks up drop and misalignment before it starts straining the motors.
Gate repairs in Radyr on any brand — Nice, CAME, BFT, FAAC, Beninca, DEA. We do not mind who installed it. Annual servicing is £234 per gate system, including VAT.
Gate automation in Radyr means adding motors to gates you already own, which is far cheaper than starting again.
Garage doors in Radyr are quoted from a photograph and a measurement, same as the gates.
Photocells, safety edges and a measured force test. If your gate has never had one, it is worth booking before you need the paperwork.
Boards, capacitors, limit switches and receivers. Most failures are one component rather than the whole system, and we say which.
Beams that trigger on sunlight, leaves or nothing at all. Usually alignment or a failing sensor rather than the whole safety system.
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 Radyr 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 Radyr installation.
Yes, and most repairs we attend in Radyr were installed by somebody else, sometimes by a firm that has since stopped trading. We work on all the major makes of automation and would far rather mend something sound than sell you a replacement.
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 Radyr service — it is the part everyone needs and nobody tests.
It depends on the height and the setting rather than on the gate being electric. In Radyr 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.
