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.
Wentwood is properly rural. The properties scattered through the forest and along its edges are individual: farmhouses, converted barns, and houses set well back from the lane behind long private approaches, often shared with a neighbour.
Power and distance are the first two questions. An entrance three hundred metres from the house means either a long armoured run or a solar and battery arrangement, and we work out which is sensible at survey rather than guessing. Unmade approaches also move underfoot, so a sliding gate needs a properly founded track.
Wentwood is fifteen minutes from our unit, which makes surveys and call-outs here about as easy as they get. 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 gate installers cover Wentwood and the area around it, fitting electric driveway gates in aluminium, timber and steel to suit the opening, the gradient and the way the entrance is actually used. Installed prices start at £6,995 including VAT for the Essential range, rising to £10,200 including VAT for Premium bespoke work.
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.
The control panel is the brain of any automatic gates in Wentwood, and the part most likely to need attention.

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.

No supply at the entrance is not a problem. We either run armoured cable or specify a solar and battery arrangement, whichever genuinely suits the site.

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.

The strongest option, and the one to pick where security is the point rather than the appearance. Galvanised and powder coated so it stays that way.
If a set of driveway gates in Wentwood is opening slowly or juddering, it is usually the automation rather than the gates themselves.
Mud, leaf litter and forestry traffic are hard on tracks and photocells. Rural gates want a service that includes clearing the running gear, not just greasing the hinges.
