What We Do

Wooden Gate Design & Installation
Custom timber gates with motor sizing and marine-grade fixings.
Timber Gate Maintenance & Treatment
Seasonal reseal, rot-resistant treatments, and scheduled inspections.
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Coastal salt, sandy soils, and strong winds can corrode motors, swell timber, and misalign frames when gates aren't specified correctly.
Estuary salt spray erodes sealants, accelerating rot and joint failure yearly.
Undersized motors or weak frames cause droop, misalignment, and hinge wear if not specified for gate weight.
Skipping reseal lets salt damage motors and timber, quickly increasing repair bills.
IP66 motors and 316 stainless fixings resist salt corrosion, lowering failure risk.
Proprietary preservative seals timber against rot; recommended recoat every five years for coastal exposure.
