What's included in our automatic gates & barriers service
Site Survey & Specification
We assess the opening, ground conditions, traffic type and duty cycle, and specify the right gate or barrier — swing, sliding, rising-arm or bollard — for the site.
Force-Safety Compliant Installation
Every powered gate is installed and force-tested to BS EN 12453 / BS EN 12604 with the safety devices — photocells, safety edges and force limitation — the Machinery Directive requires.
Access Control Integration
Gates and barriers are linked to keypads, fobs, ANPR, intercoms or your existing access control so entry is managed and logged, not left open.
Intercom & Remote Entry
Audio or video intercom and app control so visitors can be seen, spoken to and admitted from a handset or phone before the gate opens.
Safety Documentation
We provide the risk assessment, force-test results and CE/UKCA declaration for the completed powered gate installation.
Maintenance & Repair
Planned servicing keeps the safety devices working and the mechanism reliable; reactive call-out covers strikes, faults and storm damage.
