Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Poorly assessed retrofits leave gates unstable, cause motor strain, and fail safety checks, increasing repair costs.
Rotten posts or weak frames need reinforcement before motors can be fitted, delaying automation projects.
Cutting or welding may weaken historic gates and spoil their appearance easily.
Salt spray accelerates corrosion on motors and fixings without stainless steel protection in coastal properties.
Site checks and targeted reinforcement let motors be fitted to sound frames, cutting full replacement costs.
Stainless fixings, sealed motors and covered control enclosures reduce corrosion risk from Chalkwell sea-spray.
Who We Help
Scenarios include coastal family homes, small estates, and timber gate owners needing structural assessment before automation.
Family properties near Chalkwell Beach needing salt-proof automation and quieter, hands-free access for school runs.
Managers coordinating multiple entrances who need integrated access control and scheduled maintenance windows.
Owners checking timber condition and hinge strength before automation, seeking reinforcement or replacement advice.
How We Work
Three clear steps from survey to handover for Chalkwell properties.
Site survey
A local installer inspects posts, hinges and ground conditions, records issues and recommends reinforcement or mounting methods.
Design & quote
Installer specifies motor torque, mounting, controls and safety devices, then issues a detailed fixed quote for approval.
Install & handover
Installer fits motor, wiring to BS 7671, safety devices, programs remotes and provides a hands-on handover demonstration.
