Sliding gates that save space on narrow Ashingdon driveways — smooth automation without swing clearance hassles.
What We Do

Sliding Gate Retrofit
Retrofit motors to existing manual sliding gates with minimal disruption
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Narrow driveways and compact forecourts make swing gates impossible. Sliding systems run parallel to the boundary, but Ashingdon's heavy clays demand deeper post foundations to prevent gate sag over time.
Rural slopes and clay soil cause standard foundations to settle, jamming tracks
Field exposure and winter freeze cycles lock motors without weatherproof components
Leaves, mud, and gravel from countryside driveways block sliding gate movement
Posts anchored below frost line in heavy clay prevent seasonal shift and track misalignment
Freeze-resistant components handle inland frost without seizing or motor failure
