With more than 40 years of experience in the design, manufacture, and installation of electric gates in Oxford and Oxfordshire, we have the skills and expertise to provide the right solution for the diverse locations throughout the South Midlands.
Whether it be a city centre Georgian townhouse, a rural farm in the Cotswold Fringes, or modern commercial and academic campuses we know what the challenges are.
We handle all aspects of the work in-house from site survey, design, manufacture to installation and maintenance. Whether you are a homeowner needing more privacy and security for your home, or a business owner needing heavy duty access control systems for a busy warehouse, we have the expertise and product to provide what you need.
Our gates are available in aluminium, steel, and timber, with an extensive collection of styles and configurations to suit all property types.
The answer depends on three things: the character of the property, the space available, and how the entrance will be used day to day.
With rural estates, working farms, Georgian townhouses and Oxford's modern suburbs, Oxfordshire is full of unique contrasts. Naturally, different types of properties require very different types of gates.
Swing gates made from oak, iroko or idigbo are the most popular for rural and older properties. These gates blend with existing stonework and can be conveniently automated for ease of use. For conservation area restrictions or listed buildings, we can offer advice during surveys on the options available.
For suburban properties in Oxford and the surrounding areas of Didcot, Bicester, and Abingdon, powder coated, aluminium sliding or swinging gates are a great option. These gates offer a long life, are low maintenance, and come in modern designs as well as more traditional styles.
The large agricultural regions of Oxfordshire include part of the Vale of White Horse, North Oxfordshire , Faringdon, and Wantage. The requirements for entrances on farms, equestrian estates and rural estates differ from standard residential entrances.
Agricultural sites often use large vehicles, such as HGVs, horse boxes, and tractors, so entrances need greater spans and structural strength, as well as higher robustness. Gate systems on working farms are subject to frequent use, often in inclement weather conditions. in this case, the aesthetics of the system are less important than the reliability. Fortunately, reliability and aesthetics are not mutually exclusive.
For working farms, we provide commercial-grade, sliding or swinging gates, and for those with high use in poor weather conditions, we recommend automation systems proven to perform in demanding outdoor conditions
The commercial sector in Oxfordshire is more diverse than the other counties of the same size. Oxford itself has prominent science and technology industries, with the Oxford Science Park, Harwell Campus, and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy being located in the same county as many biotech, pharmaceutical and research companies with specific security requirements for their perimeters.
There are also a number of industrial estates and distribution businesses located along the A34 and A40 with a substantial presence in logistics in and around Bicester, and a large number of schools, colleges, and healthcare sites throughout the county.
For commercial sites that require a higher level of security, we install heavy-duty cantilever gates and sliding gates with full access control integration such as RFID, swipe card, GSM diallers and intercom systems that can be configured for multiple levels and monitored remotely.
When it comes to schools and other public sites, gate safety compliance is paramount and is built into every gate installation. For high volume logistics and industrial sites, bi-folding gates are a perfect choice as they allow rapid cycling without compromising security.
We also offer a wide range of vehicle access and traffic control systems such as parking barriers, rising kerbs, and rising bollards for sites that also need vehicle management.
A gate system that stops working is a problem. For a homeowner it is an inconvenience, for a commercial site it can be a security issue or an operational one.
If you have a gate that operates too slowly, does not close fully, has a malfunctioning remote or has motor problems, then the good news is these problems can often be resolved without the need to replace the whole system.
We have a wide range of parts for most major automation brands including FAAC, BFT, CAME, Beninca and DEA.
