Electric gates are great – right up until they stop working. Then they're a real pain. Stuck open, stuck shut, opening on their own or making a racket: whatever your gate's doing, give me a call and I'll get it working again.
I've been repairing electric gates for 25 years, and I work on all the major brands, whoever installed them.

What I fix
- Gates that won't open or close – see gate won't open and gate won't close
- Motors and gearboxes – worn, stripped, seized or burnt out
- Control boards – water damage, lightning and power surges, failed components
- Safety devices – photocells, safety edges and other sensors
- Remotes, keypads and intercoms – see remote and intercom repairs
- Power problems – tripping, no power, faults after a power cut
- Hinges, posts and alignment – sagging, dropped or binding gates
- Sliding gates – tracks, wheels, racks and end stops
- Hydraulic motors – leaks, loss of pressure and slow operation
How a repair works
- Tell me what's happening. A phone call, text or WhatsApp – a short video of the gate trying to move is gold.
- I diagnose the fault. On site, with the right test kit.
- You get a price before I do the work. No nasty surprises.
- I fix it and test it. Including checking the safety devices, so the gate's safe as well as working.
If a repair isn't worth doing – say the motor is obsolete and parts are impossible to get – I'll tell you honestly. Read repair or replace?
Before you call
Some problems you can safely check yourself, like dirty photocells or flat remote batteries. Have a look at my troubleshooting guides. Please don't open up the control box or bypass safety devices – that's a job for a qualified engineer.
Keep it working
Most breakdowns I see could have been caught at a service. Once your gate's fixed, think about a yearly service – see electric gate maintenance.
