Cantilever Gate Retrofit
Automate existing gates with suitable motor, reinforced beam and marine-grade fixings to resist salt air.
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Incorrect foundations, salt corrosion and strong winds are common causes of gate failure here; the right design and materials prevent repeated breakdowns.
Leigh-on-Sea's sandy soils and estuary drift can shift foundations, causing misalignment and frequent remedial work if ignored.
Salt-laden wind eats steel and motor housings, leading to seized operators and higher replacement costs without marine-grade parts.
Very wide driveways demand counterbalanced beams and heavy-duty gearboxes; wrong sizing causes sag, excess wear and early failure.
Counterbalanced beam and heavy-duty motor specifications allow stable, track-free operation on wide estuary driveways.
Stainless fixings, IP-rated motor housings and coated beams limit salt air damage and extend service intervals.
Who We Help
Scenarios where track-free, heavy-duty gates are the right long-term solution
Owners of period or beachside houses needing salt-resistant, track-free gates that withstand strong winds and sandy soils.
Managed estates requiring high-capacity cantilever systems for heavy daily use and centralised access control.
Letting agents and managers needing durable automation that preserves character while reducing maintenance callouts.
How We Work
Three clear stages from site assessment to tested handover, tailored for Leigh-on-Sea conditions
Site assessment
We assess driveway width, wind exposure and sand content, then record levels and recommend pile or pad foundations for stability.
Design & specification
We specify beam length, motor torque, IP rating and stainless fixings, then produce a detailed quote including groundworks and materials.
Installation & testing
Installers set foundations, fit counterbalanced beam, commission motor and sensors, then test operation and hand over with maintenance advice.
