Sliding Gate Systems
Sliding gates for Hockley driveways where swing gates won't fit — smooth automation on compact village properties and rural homes.
What We Do
Covering sliding gate track installation, motor specification, debris guard fitting, and retrofit automation for existing manual sliding gates.
Sliding Gate Installation
Track systems with drainage channels and debris guards for Hockley driveways
Sliding Gate Retrofit
Electric motor automation fitted to existing manual sliding gate frames
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Narrow village driveways and short rural forecourts make swing gates impossible. Sliding gates run parallel to the boundary, but poor track installation leads to waterlogging, debris jams, and motor strain within the first season.
Hockley's wet-autumn rainfall pools in poorly drained tracks, corroding rails and jamming motors
Autumn leaf fall blocks sliding mechanisms without debris guards, forcing manual override
Village residences on Church Road lack clearance for swing gates to open fully inward
Integrated drainage channels divert wet-autumn rainfall away from sliding rails, stopping corrosion
Track covers prevent Hockley Woods leaf fall from jamming sliding gate mechanisms
Who We Help
Village residences and rural homes where compact driveways demand sliding gate solutions.
Hockley High Street and Church Road properties lacking swing-gate clearance for inward opening
Country driveways near Hockley Woods requiring space-saving sliding gate systems from scratch
Properties with existing manual sliding gates wanting electric motor automation without replacement
