Gates rarely fail out of nowhere. A hinge wears, a photocell clouds over, a backup battery fades – and months later the gate stops on a wet morning. A service finds those things while they're small and cheap to put right.
We service all the major brands, for homes, farms, businesses and apartment developments across Carlisle and Cumbria.

How often
Once a year for most homes. Busy commercial and shared gates every three or six months. See how often should electric gates be serviced?
Businesses and shared sites
If you're responsible for a gate at work, a car park or an apartment block, you have a legal duty to keep it maintained and safe. Scheduled servicing with records is the easy way to show you're doing it. See maintenance contracts.
New to the gate?
Bought a house with electric gates, or taken over a site? We can inspect the system and give you a written report. See gate inspections and reports.
Between visits
Keep the photocells clean and the tracks clear, and watch for anything unusual. See simple gate care you can do yourself and looking after your gates through the winter.
Questions people ask me
How much is a service?
It depends on the gates. Call us for a price.
Do you service gates you didn't fit?
Yes – all the major brands.
Is servicing a legal requirement?
For gates at work and on shared sites, the people in control must keep them maintained and safe. At home it isn't required, but it's the best way to keep everyone safe.
