Your electric gate handles a lot of repetitive tasks. Day in, day out, it opens and closes multiple times. On top of that, it’s subjected to the elements, mechanical strain, and regular wear.
If you don’t get it serviced regularly (at least once a year), little problems can get expensive fast or even lead to dangerous breakdown.
Routine automatic gate maintenance helps you with not just one, but many benefits:
Fix minor issues before they get major and require costly replacements
Ensure your gate operates safely in line with UK gate safety standards
Keep your gate motor, hinges, and hardware in good shape for ages
Keep your gate looking good with smooth operation
Give you total peace of mind throughout the year
Whether you’re a homeowner protecting your driveway or a business owner securing your premises, a regular gate service contract is one of the smartest investments you can make.
No matter what kind of gate system you have, our engineers have the experience to service it. We work across the following gate types:
A popular choice for driveways with limited space, sliding gates run along a ground track or cantilever system. We'll inspect the motor, track alignment, rollers, and safety features to keep things moving flawlessly.
Single and double swing gates are among the most common residential gate styles. Our engineers check the hinges, arms, motor units, and limit switches to ensure smooth and safe operation.
Bi-folding gates offer speed and style, but their folding mechanism requires careful attention. We inspect the folding arms, guide rails, and drive system to ensure everything folds cleanly every time.
Ideal where ground conditions make a conventional sliding track difficult, cantilever gates are suspended and require precise balancing. We check the rollers, support posts, and counterbalance to keep things perfectly aligned.
Perfect for walkways and entrances, automated pedestrian gates provide convenient access but rely on precise calibration. We inspect the motors, hinges, locks, self- closer and safety sensors to ensure smooth operation and reliable opening and closing every time.
No problem! Please get in touch with us and we'll help you figure out the right servicing plan for you.
Please note: Our gate maintenance services are limited to metal gates or wooden gates with metal frames only.
Every service visit by our team is thorough, systematic, and carried out with care. Here’s what you can expect when a Gate Fixers engineer comes to you:
All gate panels, frames, and hardware checked for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage
Testing for performance, unusual sounds, or signs of strain
Ensuring your gate stops safely when there is any type of object in its path
Calibration for accurate open/close positions
Including hinges, rollers, tracks, and pivot points
Inspecting for faults, loose connections, or moisture ingress
Ensuring smooth movement without strain on the motor
Remote controls, keypads, fobs, intercoms, and linked access devices
In line with UK gate safety standards (BS EN 12453)
A clear summary of our visit with any recommendations
Please note: Our service plans cover the full inspection and routine maintenance of your gate system. Servicing only happens for a working gate system. If the system is not working, it will be approached as repair and our repair charges apply. Should your gate system near its end of life, then we’ll suggest replacement. You’ll need to pay 30% of the replacement gate system’s price upfront. We’ll always let you know clearly before any extra work is carried out.
If you've never had your electric gate professionally serviced before, you might be wondering what the process actually involves. From motor checks and safety sensor testing to lubrication and access system calibration, a professional gate service goes far deeper than a quick visual once-over.
It's one of the most common questions we hear: 'How often does my gate actually need servicing?' The answer depends on several factors, including the type of gate, how frequently it's used, whether your automation equipment is above or below ground, and the environmental conditions your gate is exposed to.
Did you know that automated gates are subject to specific UK safety legislation? Under the Machinery Directive and BS EN 12453, all powered gates must meet defined safety requirements and as a homeowner with a driveway gate, you have a responsibility to ensure yours does too.
We believe looking after your gate shouldn’t be complicated or overpriced. That’s why we’ve built straightforward, all-inclusive residential service plans with clear, honest pricing.
