Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Narrow South Benfleet driveways and short forecourts make swing gates impossible. Sliding systems run parallel to the boundary, but track installation on alluvial soils requires deeper foundations to prevent subsidence over time.
Semi-detached homes on London Road lack the clearance for swing arcs to open fully
Leaves and silt from Benfleet Creek area clog tracks without debris guards
Flat floodplains shift over time, tilting gates unless posts are reinforced deep
Gates run alongside the boundary, freeing driveway space for parking or turning
Protective covers stop leaves and silt entering the sliding mechanism
