Electric Sliding Gates
Electric sliding gates suit driveways with limited swing clearance, steep gradients, or wide openings. Cost is driven mainly by gate length, material, motor type (ground-track vs cantilever), and automation specification.
Electric Swing Gates
Electric swing gates are the traditional choice for Hertfordshire driveways with enough setback from the road. Underground motors are more discreet but cost more than above-ground ram arms.
Wooden Driveway Gates
Wooden driveway gates work particularly well on Hertfordshire cottages, listed properties, and conservation area homes. Iroko and oak are the most durable choices but cost more than softwood.
Metal Driveway Gates
Metal driveway gates cover everything from galvanised estate fencing to hand-forged ornamental wrought iron. Material grade and finish quality drive most of the cost variation.
Gate Automation Retrofit
Automation retrofit is adding motors, controls, and safety equipment to gates that already exist. Cost depends on the existing gate weight, access requirements, and cabling distance.
Gate Repair and Maintenance
Repair costs depend entirely on what has failed. A genuine diagnosis from a specialist is far more valuable than a quote for wholesale replacement. Many gate "failures" are control board or photocell issues that cost a fraction of a motor replacement.
