Gate Automation
A gate that opens every time, specified to Gate Safe standards and quoted with groundwork and wiring included from the start.
What We Arrange
Swing, sliding, cantilever, timber, steel, or aluminium, the right type is chosen after a site survey, not before.
Full supply, fit, and commissioning of an automatic driveway gate, wired to BS 7671.
Sliding gate motor, track, and photocell installation, suitable for gates up to 400 kg.
Actuator arm, control board, and photocell setup matched to leaf count and swing arc.
Trackless sliding gate on counterbalance rollers, no ground rail, no debris blockage.
Supply and fit of powder-coated aluminium gates with motor, sensors, and remote handsets.
Made-to-measure mild steel gates with powder-coated finish, supplied and fitted to your opening.
Hardwood or treated timber gates fitted with a correctly rated motor and BS 7671 wiring.
Existing gate assessed for balance, hinge condition, and motor compatibility before any hardware is ordered.
Gates measured, fabricated, and fitted to your exact opening with automation fixing points built in.
Video intercom, keypad, or fob access wired and paired to your existing gate motor controller.
Annual service visit covering motor, photocells, auto-reverse force test, and control board check.
Same-day fault diagnosis covering motor, control board, safety sensor, and manual release.
Gate type confirmed on site, not assumed from dimensions.
Gate motor and control board installed and commissioned.
Photocells and safety edges fitted to DHF standards.
18th Edition armoured supply scoped and wired on site.
Foundation depth sized for Brentwood’s clay ground conditions.
Travel limits and auto-reverse force set during commissioning.
Remote handsets, keypads, or app control paired at handover.
Motor, sensors, and alignment checked before sign-off.
Done Right vs Done Cheap
The problems that cause gates to fail within a year are almost always set up before the first post goes in.
Fitting a swing gate where there is no clear swing arc wastes money and forces a costly swap to sliding or cantilever later.
Swing, sliding, and cantilever options are assessed during the survey so the right type is confirmed before any hardware is ordered.
Posts set without accounting for Brentwood’s clay soil will shift seasonally, pulling the gate out of alignment within a few years.
Post foundations are scoped for clay soil conditions from the outset, so the gate stays level and the motor stays correctly aligned.
A gate installed without safety edges and photocells is non-compliant with DHF standards and creates a real entrapment risk.
Safety edges and photocells are included in every specification to DHF standards, they are never treated as optional extras.
Discovering that an armoured supply or consumer unit upgrade is needed after the gate is fitted adds cost and delays the job.
Armoured supply and 18th Edition wiring requirements are scoped into the quote before installation begins, not added on the day.
Why Brentwood Electric Gates
Every enquiry is handled the same way: survey first, specification second, quote third, nothing is assumed before the entrance is seen.
Every installation is specified to Gate Safe standards before a local installer is arranged to carry out the work.
Safety edges and photocells are specified to DHF standards on every job, never sold as optional add-ons after the quote.
Post foundations and groundwork are scoped for Brentwood’s clay soil in the initial quote, so the final cost matches the first figure.
18th Edition wiring and armoured supply requirements are confirmed during the survey and included in the quote upfront.
We connect customers with vetted local partners familiar with Brentwood entrances, from narrow town-centre frontages to long Shenfield driveways.
How It Works
01
Share the gate width, slope, power supply, and access needs and we’ll match you with a local installer suited to the job.
02
The installer surveys the entrance, confirms the gate type, and quotes groundwork, wiring, and automation as one complete figure.
03
The gate, motor, safety sensors, and access controls are fitted, tested, and handed over with limits and sensors set correctly.
Who We Help
Brentwood properties vary widely, and the right gate specification depends on who needs access and how the entrance is laid out.
Homeowners want a gate that opens every morning without effort and secures the driveway at night without a second thought. We arrange a local installer to survey the entrance, advise on swing or sliding automation, and quote the full job, motor, groundwork, wiring, and safety sensors, as one clear figure.
Landlords managing multiple properties need access control that tenants can use reliably without calling for help. We arrange installations with keypad, fob, or remote access specified to Gate Safe standards, so each entrance is controlled, compliant, and low-maintenance from day one.
Commercial sites off the A12 and around Brentwood need vehicles moving without a bottleneck at the entrance. We arrange local installers to assess the opening width, vehicle weight, and access frequency, then specify a sliding or cantilever system with the motor capacity and safety compliance the site requires.
