What we would check

We check power, distance, the connection and compatibility with the gate equipment. Gate operation and safety arrangements need agreement.

Specialist upgrades need exact equipment and suitability checks. They are not automatically included in a standard installation.

Your next step

Request an assessment without choosing equipment, sending photos or making a payment. We will contact you to agree how to help.

Can I see and speak to someone at the gate?

We check power, distance, the connection and compatibility with the gate equipment. Gate operation and safety arrangements need agreement.

Do I need to know which equipment to buy?

No. Tell us what is not working or what you want to do. We check your connection, the property and the areas you need before recommending equipment.

Do I need photos to ask for a visit?

No. You can request an assessment without photos. If useful, we can ask for a couple of photos later. Never climb or move equipment to take one.

Will I have to pay before someone looks at the problem?

There is no payment to make an enquiry or for the initial local assessment. We confirm the visit with you, explain suitable options and provide a written quote before you agree to installation.
