Electric Gate Servicing in Reigate
Annual electric gate servicing in Reigate, Reigate Hill, Cockshot Hill and Reigate Heath. 7-point check, force test, written report. Gate Safe trained. Call 07542 024681.
Annual servicing in Reigate is more important than the average suburban gate. The combination of sloped driveways, M25 vibration, high commuter cycle counts and premium installations means small faults compound into expensive failures faster here than elsewhere.
We service domestic electric gates across Reigate, Reigate Hill, Cockshot Hill, Holmesdale and the surrounding villages. £225+VAT for a single domestic gate, all-in.

- Motor inspection — opening housing, gears, brushes, bearings, exposed wiring

- Force test on the gradient — calibrated meter, slope-aware calibration
- Safety edge test (if fitted) — response time and trigger force
- Control board check — settings, capacitor health, error codes, receiver battery
- Mechanical adjustment — limit switches, end-stops, hinges, sliding tracks
- Fastener retorque — standard on Reigate jobs given M25 vibration
- Lubrication — hinges, gears, sliding tracks
- Manual release test — confirming override key/lever works
- Written report — what was done, what's worn, what to budget for next year
What Reigate Gates Specifically Need
Slope-aware force testing
Standard installer settings rarely account for driveway gradient. We force-test on the actual slope and recalibrate on every visit.
Capacitor health check on high-cycle installations
Reigate commuter households often run 30-50 cycles/day. Capacitor health declines linearly with cycles — we measure and recommend replacement at ~7 years on high-use gates.
M25-zone fastener retorque
Properties within 500m of the M25 see continual low-frequency vibration. Every fastener gets re-torqued during a service.
Pillar plumb check
Heavy stone pillars on the period properties settle. We check pillar plumb against gate plane and adjust hinges to compensate before gates start binding.
