Hillside Entrances
On a steep approach the gate has to work with the slope rather than against it. Sliding along the boundary is usually the answer, and it needs a properly founded track.

Electric Gates in Tintern
Tintern sits in the bottom of the Wye Valley, and the housing is strung along the valley floor and up the sides: stone cottages, converted mills and period houses, a great deal of it listed or inside the conservation area, with the whole village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This is one of the more constrained places we work, and honestly so. The valley sides are steep enough that many drives climb hard from the A466, which usually points to a sliding gate rather than a swing pair. Consent is a genuine consideration rather than a formality, and access for a delivery lorry needs checking before anything is made.
Tintern is twenty minutes up the road from us, so we are here often. 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 Tintern
We supply and install automatic gates in Tintern, from a straightforward aluminium swing pair to a bespoke timber or steel entrance with full access control. 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.
Conservation & Listed
Height, style and finish all matter where the boundary is inside a conservation area or attached to a listed building. We would rather agree the design before manufacture than after.
Tree-Lined Approaches
Overhanging trees mean leaves in the track and sap on the ironmongery. It is the commonest cause of a call-out on a drive like this, and an annual visit prevents it.
Above-Ground Automation
Ram or articulated arms mounted on the posts. Simpler to service, easier to retrofit, and the right answer wherever the ground holds water.

Driveway Gates: Swing or Sliding in Tintern
Driveway gates in Tintern are typically 1.6m to 2m high; above that the wind loading and the visual bulk both start to tell.
03
Gate Servicing and Repairs in Tintern
A wooded valley floor means damp all year, leaf fall every autumn and moss on anything that stands still. Control gear wants to be properly sealed and looked at annually.
We take on gates in Tintern regardless of who fitted them, and work across all the main automation brands. An annual service visit is £234 per gate system, including VAT.
Sliding gate automation in Tintern needs clear runback along the boundary, which not every entrance has.
Garage doors in Tintern that jam or drag are usually springs or tracks rather than the door itself.
Gate repairs in Tintern are worth doing properly — a bodged fix tends to come back within the year.
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 Tintern — your questions.
An automated aluminium double swing gate starts at £6,995 including VAT, installed. What moves the figure for a Tintern 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.
Typically a day or two on site in Tintern. The lead time before that is the gates being made, and the survey confirms the ground, the power and the access so there are no surprises on the day.
Width and runback decide it. Openings over about five metres in Tintern almost always mean a sliding gate, because a swing leaf that long becomes unwieldy and catches the wind.
That is most of what we do. Older automation around Tintern often needs nothing more than new photocells, a control board or a proper service.
