Do you install new aluminium gates as well?

Our focus here is repair and re-hang for existing gates - it's cheaper and faster than replacing. If your gate is genuinely beyond repair we'll say so and help you scope a replacement.

How much does an aluminium gate repair cost?

Most single-fault repairs land between £180 and £650 including parts. A hinge-post reset in fresh concrete is closer to £450-£950 depending on ground and access.

Can you fix the motor and remotes?

Yes - we work with CAME, BFT, FAAC and Nice motors and can re-programme remotes, keypads and safety photocells.

How quickly can you come out?

For an aluminium gate that won't close (a security issue) we usually visit within 3-5 working days.

Do you cover both driveway and pedestrian gates?

Both - sliding driveway gates, swing driveway gates and matching pedestrian gates are all in scope.

Yes - Ash is inside our 30-mile coverage zone from Ash Vale and we work in GU12 every week.

How quickly can you quote a aluminium gate repair in Ash?

Most Ash enquiries get a free site visit within five working days and a written quote within a week of that visit.

How long does a aluminium gate repair take?

Allow half a day to 2 working days on a typical Ash property. Sloping plots, restricted access or larger formats add to that and we'll flag it on the quote.

Do I need permission from Guildford Borough Council?

For most aluminium gate repair work, no - but anything affecting the public highway (dropped kerbs) or a conservation frontage goes through Guildford Borough Council. We'll tell you on the visit which forms apply.

Service

Aluminium Gate Repairs

Aluminium driveway gates fail differently to timber - it's almost never the gate leaf itself, it's the hinges, the hinge post foundation, or the motor. We service, re-hang and repair aluminium gates so you get the gate you originally bought back working rather than replacing the whole set.

Why us

30+ years on the tools across Surrey & Hampshire. Family-run, fully insured, no subcontracted crews.

Local factors we plan around

Camberley and Frimley executive plots where dropped hinge posts move with clay expansion each summer
Guildford and Woking gated driveways where CAME and BFT motors need photocell alignment after paving works
coastal-corridor plots along the A3 where salt spray corrodes hinge pins faster than the leaves themselves
shared electric gates on private roads where the motor and safety loop are jointly maintained
