Who we are

A personal approach to electric gate care

Most gate companies focus on big new installs or commercial maintenance contracts. Domestic gate owners get left behind — chased for contracts they don’t need, or routed through call centres that don’t really care.

Electric Gate People was built for the other side of the market: an experienced engineer on every visit, no contracts, written paperwork for safety and compliance, and online booking that fits around your day.

What Our Customers Say

“Excellent service from start to finish. The whole process from visit to quote, build and installation were stress free and efficient. The team even used spare timber to blend the old fence into the new gates, for free. Fantastic product and service.”
Sharon A.Google
“Our electric gates have been maintained for the last 6 years. The service has always been excellent. They are always prompt, professional and reasonably priced. We will certainly continue in the future!”
Howard M.Google
“They installed electric gates for us some years ago — they still look great and operate perfectly. They service them every 12 to 15 months with great care and attention to detail.”
John D.Google
“5 years on from having our gates built and installed and they have been faultless. Guests are still commenting on how nice they are! Yearly schedule is a breeze. Would recommend.”

Why Annual Servicing Matters

An electric gate is a piece of machinery. Like any machinery, it needs regular servicing to run reliably, last longer, and stay safe. Most gate breakdowns we attend could have been prevented with an annual service.

Common Gate Problems

Whatever the fault, our engineers have seen it before and fixed it.

Gate Won't Open or Close

Motor failure, control board fault, or power issue. Most fixed in one visit.

Gate Is Grinding or Slow

Track misalignment, low lubrication, or hinge wear. Servicing prevents this.

Remote Not Working

Dead battery, frequency clash, or receiver fault. Quick fix.

Photocell / Sensor Issue

Gate opens but won't close? Sensors are probably misaligned or blocked.

Gate Stuck — Emergency

Can't get your car out? Same-day emergency callout available.
