Period & Listed Property
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.

Electric Gates in St Fagans
St Fagans is a small village on the western edge of Cardiff, built around the castle and the museum, and much of it is conservation area with estate cottages and period stone housing. There are larger detached properties on the approaches with long, private drives.
Consent leads here more than engineering. In a village this tightly conserved, the height, style and finish of anything at the boundary is a planning conversation first, and we would rather have it before manufacture than after. On the larger plots outside the conservation area the constraints lift considerably.
St Fagans is around half an hour from us, straight 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 St Fagans
Our engineers install automatic gates throughout St Fagans and the villages around it, in aluminium, timber and steel. Swing pairs, tracked sliding gates and electric driveway gates, specified to the entrance rather than to a catalogue. Installed prices start at £6,995 including VAT for the Essential range, rising to £10,200 including VAT for Premium bespoke work.
Each installation leaves us force tested, with photocells and safety edges fitted and a handover pack explaining the manual release and how to isolate the power. You can price an aluminium entrance yourself with our gate builder before speaking to anyone.
Wooded & Shaded Sites
Leaf fall blocks tracks and triggers photocells, and constant damp is hard on control gear. Sealed enclosures and an annual clear-out deal with both.
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.
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.

Swing and Sliding Driveway Gates in St Fagans
Before quoting driveway gates in St Fagans we ask about the power supply, because running a new spur to the entrance can cost more than the automation.

Electric Gate Servicing and Fault Finding in St Fagans
Long tree-lined drives mean leaves, sap and damp, all of which shorten the life of an unserviced motor. An annual look at the photocells matters here too, because low autumn sun and falling leaves both trigger them.
We take on gates in St Fagans regardless of who fitted them, and work across all the main automation brands. An annual service visit is £234 per gate system, including VAT.
Gate automation in St Fagans is worth specifying with the intercom in mind, rather than adding cable to a finished job.

Common questions
Electric gates in St Fagans — your questions.
An automated aluminium double swing gate starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed. What moves the figure for a St Fagans 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.
Most St Fagans installations are a day or two on site once the groundwork and the power are sorted. What adds time is anything underground — foundation boxes and drainage — or a new supply run to the entrance.
Width and runback decide it. Openings over about five metres in St Fagans almost always mean a sliding gate, because a swing leaf that long becomes unwieldy and catches the wind.
We do — it is the bulk of our repair work. We carry parts for the common makes, so a St Fagans repair is often one visit, and where a system is genuinely finished we will say so rather than keep patching it.
