An electric gate should open when you ask it to, close safely behind you and keep doing that for years. Getting there is about the right gate, the right motor and careful installation – and that's what we've been doing for 16 years around Carlisle.

Questions people ask me
How much do electric gates cost?
A complete installation typically starts from £2,500 for swing gates and £4,000 for sliding gates. See gate costs.
Underground or overground motors?
Underground looks neater; overground costs less and is easier to service.
What happens in a power cut?
Battery backup keeps the gate working, and every gate has a manual release.
