Gate Automation Specialists Across Lancashire

Most domestic gate automation across Lancashire runs £1,800 to £4,500 fitted, depending on gate weight and whether power already reaches the post. John gives a fixed price after a free site visit, never a phone-quoted guess.

Most single or double gate installs with automation are completed in one to two days from arrival to handover. Jobs needing new power run to the post take slightly longer, which is flagged at the survey, not on the day.

John covers Lancashire, including Leyland, Preston, Chorley, Wigan, Lancaster, Kendal and surrounding towns. See the full area list below or use the map to check your town.

Yes, every quote starts with a free, no-obligation site visit so gate weight, ground conditions and access are seen in person before a fixed price is given, not guessed over the phone.

Yes, John supplies and fits new timber, steel and composite gates as well as automating existing gates, and can duct power in at install stage so a motor can be added later without digging up the driveway twice.

Repair call-outs are usually attended within 24 to 48 hours across Lancashire, sooner where a stuck-open gate is a security risk. Common motor, hinge and control-board parts are carried on the van so most faults are fixed on the first visit.

Yes. Every automated gate John fits or services is checked against BS EN 12453, the standard that limits how much pressure a closing gate can exert, so it cannot close unsafely on a car, pet or child.

Yes, John the Gate Man carries public liability insurance for all installation, servicing and repair work carried out on site.

Both. John fits, services and repairs residential driveway gates, farm and field entrances, and small commercial site gates, sizing the motor and hardware to the actual gate rather than a one-size kit.

John fits underground and articulated ram kits from established manufacturers including FAAC, Came and Nice, matched to the gate and site rather than a single default brand.

Once a year for most domestic gates, starting from around £90 for a single gate, or twice a year on gates used heavily or exposed to coastal salt air, which accelerates wear on hinges and hardware.

Call John directly or fill in the quote form on this site with your town and the service you need. A free site visit is usually arranged within a few days and a fixed price given on the spot once the job has been seen in person.
