What Counts as an Emergency

• Gate stuck closed and you can't access the property by other means
• Gate stuck open and the property is exposed
• Gate hanging off its hinges or off its track
• Motor smoking, sparking, or making grinding noises
• Visible electrical damage after a storm or power surge
• Gate dropped after a vehicle impact
• Gate behaving erratically and won't respond to controls

If your gate is closed and you can park on the road or use a side gate, it's not technically an emergency — book a normal callout (£225+VAT) and save £45.

Common Tunbridge Wells Emergency Patterns

Underground motor water ingress

After heavy rainfall on period properties, underground motor pits flood. Control boards short, gates stop. Same-day stabilisation possible; full repair often needs 24-48 hours for replacement parts.

Heritage gate hinge failure

Cast iron hinges on Pantiles / Mount Ephraim period gates eventually fail under load — often after a windy night. We can stabilise the gate same-day, but heritage restoration may need a specialist forge.

Slope-related motor strain failures

Mount Ephraim, Pembury Road and ridge-side properties: motors that have been straining uphill for years finally give up. Common parts (capacitor, brushes, gears) usually fixable same-day.

Storm damage on the High Weald ridge

Strong westerlies do damage to gate leaves and motor housings. We see warped frames, sheared bolts, and water-damaged boards after major weather events.

FAAC / premium board failures

Mount Ephraim, Bidborough premium installations: when a premium board fails, parts may not be in our van. We stabilise same-day and return within 24-48 hours.

How an Emergency Callout Works

1. Call 07542 024681 — describe the situation, send a photo if you can
2. We confirm an arrival window — usually 90-150 minutes from the call (Tunbridge Wells is the further end of our coverage)
3. Diagnose and stabilise on site — first priority is making the gate safe and the property secure
4. Repair if possible same-day — most emergencies fixed in one visit
5. Quote follow-up work — if a deeper repair is needed we quote before further work

If the gate can't be fully repaired in the visit, we'll secure it in a safe position and return with parts within 1-3 days.

Pricing

Parts charged separately at cost, always quoted before ordering.
