Seaside Security
Gates that slide smoothly every time, keep sand and debris off tracks, and give one-click entry even in coastal gales.
What We Do
Design, soil assessment, post foundations, counterbalanced beam, heavy-duty motor installation and safety sensors for track-free operation.
Cantilever Gate Installation
Full design with post foundations, counterbalanced beam and robust motor for wide, track-free openings.
Cantilever Gate Retrofit
Motorise existing cantilever gates with updated control, safety sensors and a replaced motor where needed.
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Incorrect foundations or underspecified motors cause sag, frequent callouts and safety failures on coastal properties if not addressed up front.
Thorpe Bay's sandy soils need deeper concrete foundations; shallow posts lead to gate sag, misalignment and costly rework.
Strong estuary winds can stall or overload underspecified motors, increasing breakdown risk and emergency callout costs.
Owners worry older frames or boundary masonry won't accept a cantilever beam without structural upgrades and clear fixings.
Deeper concrete-filled posts sized to soil tests prevent movement in sandy ground and carry cantilever beam loads safely.
Specified motor torque ratings handle estuary gusts, reducing stall incidents and lowering gearbox stress in salt-exposed sites.
Who We Help
Scenarios where wide openings, sand and wind require specialist cantilever solutions.
Owners on Eastern Esplanade and Balmoral Road needing wind-rated automation that resists sand ingress and salt spray.
Properties overlooking the Thames Estuary that need cantilever systems for wide openings where ground tracks would trap debris.
Managers coordinating low-maintenance, wind-resistant gates across multiple residences to reduce callouts and tenant issues.
How We Work
A clear three-step delivery from site check to tested handover.
Site assessment
A local electric gate installer inspects opening width, soil type, frame condition and wind exposure, then measures and photographs for a structural design.
Design & quote
Engineer sizes post foundations, counterbalance beam and motor torque, specifies safety sensors and issues a detailed fixed-price quote with timelines.
Installation & handover
Foundations and beam are installed, motor and controls fitted, sensors commissioned and full user handover plus operational testing completed on site.
