Help & FAQs
Gates Repair & Maintenance FAQs
How soon can a gate fault be diagnosed?
We don't promise a timescale before an engineer has seen the gate. Tell us how it is behaving and we'll arrange a visit.
Can you repair a gate that someone else installed?
Yes, gates fitted by others are part of our work. On the visit the engineer looks at what's there, then says what can be fixed.
What happens during a gate service visit?
The gate and how it operates are checked, any agreed servicing or repair is done, and the gate is tested before the engineer leaves.
Is a new gate ever better value than a repair?
Only an assessment settles it. We give you our view with the quote.
Can you come out to Manchester for gate repairs?
Yes. It's where we're based. Get in touch and we'll arrange the call-out.
