Long Rural Drives
Where the gate is a long way from the house, the power run, the intercom and the ground conditions all need designing rather than assuming.
Raglan is a Monmouthshire village built around the castle, with stone cottages in the centre and farmhouses and converted barns on the lanes running out of it.
Stone piers are common here and they vary enormously in condition — some are perfectly sound, others are a rubble core behind a nice face. We check them before hanging anything, and fit our own aluminium posts where the existing piers will not take the load.
Raglan is twenty minutes up the A449 from us. 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.

We supply and install automatic gates in Raglan, from a straightforward aluminium swing pair to a bespoke timber or steel entrance with full access control. A standard Essential entrance starts at £6,995 installed, including VAT. Premium, where the shape, finish or access control is bespoke, starts at £10,200 including VAT.
Nothing leaves site without a force test, working photocells and safety edges, and a written handover explaining the manual release. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.

Where the gate is a long way from the house, the power run, the intercom and the ground conditions all need designing rather than assuming.

Next to a listed building the gate has to sit comfortably with what is already there. That usually means timber or a painted steel, and a design agreed before anything is cut.

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.

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.

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 Raglan 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.
There is a manual release on every installation. We walk you through it before we leave your Raglan property, and it is checked again at each annual service.
Often not, though it depends on the height and how close your Raglan 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.
