An automatic gate is a gate that opens and closes using an electric motor and control system, removing the need for manual operation. These systems are typically activated via access controls such as keypads, fobs, intercoms or ANPR, and incorporate essential safety devices to ensure compliant, controlled movement.
Modern automatic gate systems are designed to enhance site security, improve access control, and manage vehicle or pedestrian flow efficiently, all while operating in line with UK gate safety regulations. They can be tailored for a wide range of environments, from high-traffic commercial premises to secure industrial sites, with the automation system selected to suit the gate type, usage levels, and security requirements.
Installing automatic gates gives you clear operational and security benefits:
Our automatic security gates are designed to be robust, low-maintenance and reliable – even in high-use commercial environments.
Auto sliding gates are a popular solution for commercial and industrial sites where space is limited. They’re perfect for large entrances and heavy use – operating laterally along a track or cantilever system.
The benefits include:
Automatic swing gates offer a classic appearance while delivering modern automated performance. They come as single or double leaf configurations and are commonly used for controlled access points where you’ve got enough swing space.
The benefits include:
We cover everything from design right through to long-term support; a complete solution for automatic gate installation and maintenance.

The cost of automating your gate depends on a few factors: what sort of gate you’ve got, how big it is, how heavy it is, what kind of automation system it needs and what the conditions are like at your site. As a rule, retrofitting automation to an existing gate is often more cost-effective than installing a whole new system, provided the gate structure can take it. A site visit lets us check feasibility and give you a proper quote.
The cost of installing an automated gate will depend on whether it’s for a house, a business or an industrial site. Things like access control, safety gear, groundworks and power supply all add to the cost. Commercial automatic gates tend to need more robust components to cope with frequent use.
The price of motorised automated gates depends on the type of motor, how hard it needs to work, the kind of gate material and the overall system spec. Sliding gates and swinging gates often need different motors and safety kit, which all adds up. We give you clear, itemised quotes after we’ve taken a look at your site.
Try installing an automatic gate yourself? It’s not advised – UK regulations say automated gates need to be to a certain safety standard, and if they’re not installed properly you could end up with a real safety risk and non-compliance on your hands. Let us do it professionally and you can be sure it’ll be safe, legal and reliable.
Automated gates do need a bit of regular maintenance to keep them safe and working properly – like any mechanical system, bits can wear out over time. But with planned servicing and a proper installation, automated gates are pretty reliable and offer loads of long-term security and convenience benefits.
Most of the time you won’t need to get permission for an automated gate, but there may be exceptions depending on the gate height, location, proximity to highways or listed buildings. We can advise on this after we’ve done a site visit – we’ll make sure your installation meets all local planning and safety requirements.
