Electric Gates in Worthing

It depends on the property and how you want to use the entrance. Metal gates are a strong choice for longevity: hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated, they resist rust and hold their finish for years with minimal upkeep. Hardwood works well on period or traditional properties where timber feels right for the setting, though it does need occasional maintenance. Aluminium is genuinely low maintenance and suits contemporary homes well.

Beyond material, the configuration matters too: swing gates suit most standard driveways, while sliding gates are the practical answer where the driveway slopes or space is limited. We go through all of this at the survey once we have seen the property.

Yes. Narrower driveways usually suit inward-opening swing gates, which need less clearance than outward-opening designs. Where the driveway slopes or space is tight, a sliding gate that runs parallel to the boundary is often the better option. We survey the entrance before recommending anything.

The price depends on gate material, entrance width, automation equipment and whether entrance works such as pillars or groundwork are included.

A pair of powder-coated metal swing gates for a standard driveway is a very different job to a wide set of bespoke hardwood sliding gates with video intercom and new brick piers. We provide a full quotation after the site survey.

Generally yes. A well-installed set of gates with good pillars and entrance landscaping improves the kerb appeal of a property and tends to register positively with buyers. The entrance is the first thing people see, and a gate that looks right for the house and the street makes a different impression from one that feels out of place or was chosen without much thought for the setting.

How much value it adds depends on the quality of the work and whether the design suits the property.

We recommend annual servicing. This keeps the mechanical and electrical components in good condition and catches wear before it becomes a fault, which is far less disruptive and less costly than an emergency repair.

We service both our own installations and gates fitted by other companies across Worthing and the wider West Sussex area. Get in touch to learn more about our servicing offering.
