Electric Driveway Gates Designed Around Your Property

Every driveway is different. The amount of space available, the slope of the entrance, the width of the opening and the way you use the property all influence which type of gate will work best.

 

Almond Electric Gates provides bespoke residential gate systems rather than relying on standard catalogue sizes.

 

A domestic gate system can combine:

The aim is to create an entrance that works naturally with your driveway while complementing the appearance of your home.

Gate types

Choose The Gate That Suits Your Driveway

Not every gate configuration suits every property. The right choice depends on the available opening space, driveway layout, preferred appearance and how you want to control access.

Swing Gates

Single or double swing gates are a popular choice for residential driveways with sufficient space for the gate leaves to open.

Sliding Gates

Sliding gates move horizontally across the entrance, making them useful where opening space behind the gates is limited or the driveway layout makes swing gates less practical.

Timber Infill Gates

Timber infill can provide a warmer, more traditional appearance while offering greater privacy than an open metal gate design.

Aluminium Infill Gates

Aluminium infill provides a contemporary appearance and can be incorporated into bespoke residential gate designs.

Steel & Metal Gates

Steel gates can suit both traditional and contemporary properties, with the design tailored around the style of the entrance.

Access Control Systems

Keypads, remote fobs, intercoms, smartphone access and other entry systems can be integrated with suitable automated gates.

Automated Gates For Convenient Everyday Access

Electric gate automation removes the need to manually open and close your driveway gates each time you arrive or leave the property.

The most suitable automation system depends on factors such as the gate type, size, weight, opening arrangement and how frequently the entrance is used.

Automation can be incorporated into new residential gate installations and may also be available for suitable existing gates.

Almond Electric Gates works with established automation manufacturers including:

Depending on the system, access can also be controlled through devices such as remote fobs, keypads, intercoms or smartphone-based entry.

 

This allows the gate, automation and access-control equipment to work together as one complete driveway entrance system.

From Your Driveway To Installation & Aftercare

A residential gate needs to work with the property as a whole. Almond Electric Gates considers the entrance layout, gate configuration, automation and access requirements before the final system is installed.

Understand The Property

Provide details about your driveway, entrance and the type of gate you are considering. Photographs and approximate measurements can help the team understand the layout and identify suitable options.

Choose The Gate

The available space, driveway arrangement, preferred materials and access requirements can then be considered when deciding between swing, sliding or other suitable configurations.

Prepare & Install

The gate system is prepared around the requirements of the individual property before installation and automation. This gives homeowners a bespoke solution rather than a gate based on a standard opening size.

Service & Maintain

Support can continue after installation through routine servicing, repairs and maintenance. Almond Electric Gates also offers fixed-price service contract options for domestic and commercial gate systems.

Domestic Electric Gate Repairs & Maintenance

Automated gates contain mechanical, electrical and control components that can wear or develop faults over time.

 

Almond Electric Gates provides domestic gate repairs, fault diagnosis and maintenance for existing residential systems.

 

Support can include:

Regular maintenance can also help identify worn components before they become more disruptive problems.

 

Whether Almond Electric Gates installed the gate originally or you need support with a suitable existing system, the team can discuss the problem and the most appropriate next step.

What it costs

Straight answers on price

Bespoke automated gate packages typically start from around £5,000 to £7,000 + VAT, depending on size, style, groundwork and the automation you choose. We are competitively priced for what is a fully in-house, made-to-measure product, and we tell you the number the same day you ask.

Planning permission

Do you need it?

In most cases gates up to two metres are permitted development, but height limits are lower next to a road, and listed buildings or conservation areas have their own rules. We will flag anything that looks like it needs consent before you commit, so it is resolved before manufacture starts.
