Compact Driveways
Sliding gates that glide smoothly every time — no swing clearance needed, no fumbling in tight driveways, just one-click entry that fits your Thundersley property.
What We Do
Covering new sliding gate installation with track and motor, retrofit automation for existing manual sliding gates, and debris guard systems to prevent blockages.

Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Sliding gates fail when tracks flood or debris jams the mechanism. Thundersley's clay subsoil and regular rainfall demand proper drainage design from the start.
Short forecourts and tight turning circles make swing gates impossible to open fully
Autumn leaf fall and regular rainfall clog unprotected tracks, jamming gates mid-slide
Manual sliding gates sit idle because you don't know if retrofit motors will fit
Gates run along the boundary line instead of swinging into the drive, freeing space for parking
Protective covers shield the track from leaves and rainwater, keeping the mechanism clear
Who We Help
Sliding gates solve the problem when swing gates won't fit your property layout.
