Overview
What Gate Repair and Servicing Involves
A gate that stops working properly affects how you get in and out, so the first job is finding out why. Repair means diagnosing the fault and fixing it; servicing means having the gate looked over on a planned basis so faults are caught early.
An engineer assesses the gate as it stands before recommending anything. Whether you need security gate repair after a fault, automatic gate repair when the automation misbehaves, or gate servicing and automatic gate servicing to keep a gate looked over, the work and its cost are agreed with you first.

Diagnosis
Gates Repair and Maintenance: What We Diagnose
Our starting point is finding the fault. The areas below are what an engineer looks at.
Automation issues
A gate that doesn't open, close or respond as it should.
Safety checks
Checks on the gate's safety features as part of assessing or servicing it.
Faults that aren't obvious
Problems where the symptom and the cause are in different places.
Decide
Repair vs Upgrade vs Replacement
Which is right can only be confirmed once the gate has been assessed. These are the points that usually decide it.
Repair is often enough when
The problem is limited to one part of the gate or its operation
The gate is otherwise in good working order
Parts are still available for it
Worth discussing a bigger change when
The same faults keep coming back
Parts are no longer available
The gate no longer suits how the entrance is used

Help & FAQs
Gates Repair & Maintenance FAQs
What gate faults can you repair?
We diagnose faults with gate systems, including automation issues. An engineer assesses your gate first and confirms what can be repaired.
Can you repair automatic gates installed by another company?
In many cases, yes. It's assessed first, and we then tell you what can be repaired.
What happens during a gate service visit?
An engineer looks over the gate and its operation, carries out any agreed servicing or repair, and tests the gate afterwards.
Can you repair motors and access controls?
Automation faults are something we diagnose. For a specific part, an engineer assesses your gate and confirms what can be repaired before quoting.
When should a gate system be replaced?
It depends on the gate's condition, whether parts are available and how it's used. We can advise once the gate has been assessed.
