Bespoke Design
Period-style timber gates that welcome you every time, no more wrestling in rain; treated timber resists estuarine dampness and runs quietly.
What We Do
Covering bespoke timber design, rot-resistant sealants, hinge reinforcement, motor sizing for gate weight, and reinforced post footings for alluvial soils
Wooden Gate Design & Installation
Custom timber gates treated for rot, with motor sized to gate weight and reinforced hinge mounts.
Timber Gate Maintenance & Treatment
Planned sealing, hinge lubrication and motor checks to protect timber in Benfleet's estuarine climate.
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Poor treatment, shallow posts, or undersized motors lead to sagging, rot, and frequent callouts; correct specification prevents those common failures.
Estuarine damp speeds timber decay without proper sealants, shortening gate life and increasing repair bills in coastal areas.
Benfleet's alluvial ground needs deeper, reinforced footings; shallow posts lead to sagging, misalignment, and motor strain.
Frequent openings on family driveways demand duty-rated motors and reinforced hinges to avoid premature failure and unsafe operation.
Duty-rated motors and reinforced hinges handle frequent openings, reducing emergency repairs and keeping gates operational.
Marine-grade preservatives and scheduled resealing protect timber from estuarine damp and delay decay.
