Timber Gate Maintenance And Treatment
Annual sealing, hinge checks and motor servicing to protect timber gates.
Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
In Thundersley's regular rainfall, poor sealing and wrong motor sizing lead to rot, warping, and early automation failure.
Regular rainfall breaks down sealants, exposing timber joints to rot and accelerating repair needs.
Incorrect motor sizing or weak hinges causes premature failure and costly repairs when automation is overloaded.
Skipping reseals lets water in, causing warping and shorter gate lifespan if left unaddressed.
Motors sized to timber mass with hinge reinforcement to prevent overload.
Pressure-treated timbers and sealants reduce water uptake and slow decay.
Who We Help
Detached suburban homes seeking bespoke timber gates with electric operation that match period styling.
Managers needing low-maintenance timber gates to reduce callouts and minimise downtime across rental portfolios.
Secure timber gates with intercoms to control resident access and opening times.
How We Work
A clear three-step process from site assessment to handover, including timber specification and motor matching.
Site survey
An electric gate installer visits your driveway, inspects timber condition, measures access and clay subsoil, and records motor load requirements.
Design & quote
The installer specifies timber species, rot-resistant treatments, hinge reinforcement and motor size, then issues a detailed written quote.
