Frequently Asked Questions

Installations:

There is no definitive answer to this question as every installation is unique. With many factors to consider such as the gate design, material, complexity, location and scale. Considerations must also be made to the type of automation used. Given the myriad of brands and products on the market, we rely on our first hand experience and lean on only the tried and tested equipment we know and trust can deliver high levels of reliability and functionality. Systems can range from £7500 – £15,000 for single domestic and multi-user sites and higher for more industrial and larger scale systems.

If the decision is commercially driven, then of course, the cheapest quote wins. But we find that it is often the case that this does not hold the greatest value. We sell systems, yes, but also provide a service. Alongside our knowledge and experience for after-sales care and preventative maintenance. In our industry, there can be quite a diverse and varied approach to any given system or project. We must first ensure that we are comparing apples for apples as different companies will not always specify the same equipment, design or approach. We at Gatedoctors install systems with more than just automation in mind, we look ahead. We know the devil can be in the details and it is quite often the unseen elements of a system that are the most important. Such as the quality and type of cable used, the methods employed to seal and protect sensitive areas of a system. The structural and mechanical elements of your system are designed with long term reliability in mind. With an abundance of choice in todays market, we will specify and install only tried and tested equipment we know and trust can deliver.

Gate systems are an investment, often adding more than their initial cost to the value of any property. We aim to provide long term value and we will happily look at options to suit you and help you to make a positive investment based on your chosen budget.

We very often see gate systems installed by unqualified persons. This, although in the short term cheaper, invariably leads to problems in the future. Our industry is regulated and strict criteria laid out for the high standards of installation and system safety. A great number of our existing customers are recipients of a system installed ‘on the cheap’ and so we would urge you to ensure that your chosen contractor is qualified and able to demonstrate a high standard of work. We are happy to provide free advice and answer any questions you have relating to the installation of a new system.

We design and install a wide range of automated access systems, including electric driveway gates, swing gates, sliding gates, bi-folding gates, barriers, powered doors, roller shutters and bollards. Our team can recommend a system suited to your property, available space, security requirements and intended use.

The process normally begins with a discussion and site assessment to understand the entrance, property layout and your requirements. We will then recommend an appropriate gate design and automation system before arranging manufacture, groundwork, installation, electrical connections and final testing as required.
