Planned Maintenance Contract

Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
When routine upkeep is skipped, motors, sensors and hinges deteriorate silently — that hidden wear leads to sudden failure, access loss, and high emergency costs.
Sea breezes and high tides accelerate corrosion on exposed motors and fixings without regular lubrication and inspection.
Cold, damp mornings and sand ingress cause jams that leave residents locked out and needing costly emergency repairs.
Vague service agreements often omit sensor testing and control checks, creating unexpected bills and safety risks during faults.
Every visit includes motor lubrication, safety sensor tests, and a written inspection report with action recommendations.
Contract holders receive priority callouts and local teams aiming to attend urgent faults within 24 hours.
