Beachside Security
Handcrafted timber gates that open with a fob, resist sea air, and remove gate fuss for Chalkwell homes.
What We Do
Covering bespoke timber gate design, rot-resistant sealants, motor sizing to gate weight, stainless fixings, and maintenance plans.
Wooden Gate Design & Installation
Timber gates with motor sizing and stainless fixings for seaside use.
Timber Gate Maintenance & Treatment
Seasonal sealing, rot checks and motor inspection for timber gates.
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Untreated timber and underspecified motors fail quickly in sea air, leading to rot, warping, and repeated callouts.
Sea breezes bring salt that accelerates wood decay; untreated timber quickly warps and requires frequent repairs.
Motors not rated for timber weight cause gearbox wear, stalled openings and emergency callouts under daily use.
Chalkwell driveways and sandy approaches complicate deliveries and require shallow post fixings or bespoke foundation plans.
Protective sealants rated to last up to 10 years reduce rot and cut maintenance in coastal conditions.
Correct motor selection and gearbox rating prevents overload and reduces emergency gearbox replacements.
