Who We Are
Professional Gate Servicing & Maintenance Plans in Plymouth
Protect your assets & stay compliant. We offer expert gate servicing & maintenance contracts in Plymouth & Devon. All safety checks, force testing & repairs. Choose from our Bronze, Silver or Gold plans and keep yourself safe.


Is Your Automated Gate System Safe and Legally Compliant?
Under UK health and safety regulations, it is your responsibility to have all of your powered gates and barriers regularly maintained by a suitably qualified engineer and that a proper record is also kept. That’s because a poorly maintained gate causes inconvenience and at times poses a significant safety risk and a liability.
Automatic gate and barrier systems are generally exposed to all weather conditions and different levels of use. As with all automation equipment, a maintenance program helps extend the life of your gates and fencing equipment to offset that excessive wear and tear due to heavy usage and natural degradation.
Our company provides annual renewable maintenance contracts for you to make sure that your system always stays fully operational, safe and compliant with the law.
What We Offer
What Does Our Professional Gate Service & Maintenance Include?
Our certified engineers will comprehensively check your gate system on every service and maintenance visit. Our servicing goes beyond a simple inspection so that we can make sure that every component of your automated gate and fencing functions safely and as intended.
Service & Maintenance
Each visit includes a detailed service and maintenance procedure. Our engineers will check every component individually and any faulty ones will be repaired or replaced right away.
Full System Service & Testing
We perform thorough tests on all the safety devices, including photocells and pressure-sensitive edges to make sure the gate stops and reverses whenever it detects any obstacle.
Mechanical Parts Care & Lubrication
We spray and lubricate all moving parts like gears, rollers and hinges which ultimately decreases wear and tear and increases the lifespan of parts.
Electrical System Clean & Check
We clean the dust and insects from the circuits thoroughly and check all electrical connections to prevent any shorts and failures due to debris.
Hardware Adjustments & Alignment
We adjust and realign gate hardware like rollers or hinges if there’s any issue with the gate or fence, especially if it does not open or close properly or creates creaking, sliding noises.
Force Testing & Certification
We perform a force test to measure the gate’s closing force and give you a force test report sheet. This helps us make sure that it is within safe legal limits.
Debris Removal
We clear out motor boxes, which are set underground, of sludge, leaves and any debris that usually corrodes and damages the motor.
Detailed & Updated Reporting
You receive a full maintenance and fault report sheet after every visit from us. We document the system’s condition and all the necessary maintenance work that we did.
What Our Services
Why Is An Annual Gate Service So Critical For My Property?
Automatic gate systems are hard-working assets and in our Southwest areas, they are directly exposed to the harsh weather and daily wear-and-tear. If you neglect their regular maintenance, it’ll lead to three major risks.
Safety Failures
A gate that doesn’t reverse or open properly can cause serious injury. A regular service by our engineers will prevent such accidents and keep you and your loved ones safe while using the gate.
Costly Emergency Repairs
A small issue that goes undetected can sometimes escalate into a major component failure. For instance, a small crack could extend into a full-blown split if you don’t address it right away. So regular maintenance can identify and mitigate such problems.
Security Breaches
A gate or a fence can compromise your entire property’s security if it malfunctions in any way. So we make sure that it stays operational and reliable.
Our Maintenance & Service Contracts: The Right Fit for Your Gate & Fencing
We offer flexible, affordable maintenance plans to suit your exact needs and, of course, budget. All plans include the full service checklist above.
For a limited time, we are now offering a 15% discount on any labour and parts required to repair the system within the period of the contract.
Bronze Service Plan – For Light Domestic Use
We will make one comprehensive service visit to your property per year. Ideal for homes where you use the gate less than 15 times a day.
Silver Service Plan – For Busy Homes & Light Commercial
We will make two comprehensive service visits per year (typically once every 6 months). We recommend this for properties with higher traffic or where reliability is key.
Provides proactive care to handle increased wear and seasonal changes.
Gold Service Plan – For High-Usage & Maximum Uptime
We will make three comprehensive service visits to your property per year. This plan is highly recommended for gates that open 30 or more times per day.
Our Service And Maintenance Contracts Also Include Fencing Inspections & Handrail Safety Checks
- Security Fencing (Palisade, Bastion, Chain Link): We’ll check for stability, corrosion and damage.
- Safety Handrails & Railings: We’ll make sure that they are secure and can withstand required force.
- Timber Fencing: We’ll identify rot, loose panels and structural weaknesses.
