A good set of driveway gates changes how your home looks and feels. Add automation, and you'll wonder how you ever managed getting out of the car to open them in the rain.
I supply, automate and fit electric driveway gates across Northern Ireland – the gates, the motors, the groundwork, the electrics and the safety testing, all from one person you can actually get hold of.

Then make them electric
I automate driveway gates with DEA System motors, or Fadini hydraulics for heavy-duty gates.
- Overground motors from £1,800 – the most popular choice for swing gates.
- Underground motors from around £2,400 – hidden away for a clean look.
- Sliding gate automation from £1,400 – great for short or sloping driveways. See sliding electric gates.
Designed for your driveway
No two driveways are the same. Before I quote, I'll look at:
- the width of the opening and how much room there is for the gates to swing
- whether the driveway slopes up behind the gate
- the posts or pillars, and whether they're strong enough
- where the power can come from
- how close the gate is to the road, and whether a car can pull in off the road while it opens
This is all in my gate planning checklist. If you're wondering about planning permission, see do you need planning permission for electric gates?
Opening and closing your gates
Remotes, keypads, video intercoms, phone apps and fobs can all be added. See access control.
Safe for the whole family
Every driveway gate I automate gets photocells and the safety devices it needs, and is force tested to BS EN 12453. That's what stops a gate closing on a child, a pet or a car. Read more in gate safety and the law.

Questions people ask me
How much do electric driveway gates cost?
Gates start from £1,600 (wood), £2,000 (wrought iron) and £2,200 (composite). Automation starts from £1,400. See the full cost guide.
What's the best gate for a sloping driveway?
Often a sliding gate, or swing gates on rising hinges. I'll look at the slope and recommend the best option.
Should driveway gates open inwards or outwards?
Usually inwards, so they don't swing over the footpath or road. If space is tight, a sliding gate is often the answer.
Do you make the gates or just fit them?
I supply made-to-measure gates and fit and automate them, so you deal with one person for the whole job.
