The installation of electric gates varies depending on the size of the project and what groundwork may be required. For residential properties, we can install electric gates in two to five days. For commercial or industrial installations, it may take longer due to the equipment required and the potential addition of extra security features.
Each of our electric gate installations is individually priced based on the customer’s needs. Some projects require different features from others, so we carefully price each design and installation with budget, style, materials and groundwork in mind.
In some cases, you may need planning permission for electric gates.
If your planned electric gates will be:
• Over 1m high and next to a highway used by vehicles or the footpath of such a highway.
• Over 2m high in any other place.
• Installed at a listed building or in the curtilage of a listed building
• Forming a boundary with neighbouring listed buildings.
You will likely need to seek planning permission from the local council. If none of the above apply, planning permission is not typically required for an electric gate.
