Gate Repairs Wiltshire

Common Gate Problems We Fix

Here’s the thing: gates break in more ways than people expect. These are the issues we see again and again:

• Gates Not Opening or Closing
  It might be dead power, a fried motor, or a jammed track. We’ll test it, find the fault, and fix it—usually on the first visit.
• Gates Stuck Halfway
  Sometimes they move, sometimes they don’t. That halfway pause? Could be alignment, sensors, or just worn-out components. Either way, we’ll sort it.
• Remote Control or Keypad Not Working
  It’s not always the remote. Signal issues, wiring faults, or interference from nearby devices can cause problems. We’ll check both the tech and the settings.
• Power or Motor Issues
  These are big ones. Gate motor repair can involve motor swaps, capacitor replacements, or just rewiring corroded points. We carry parts to speed things up.
• Gates Moving Slowly or Making Strange Noises
  If it’s dragging or squealing, something’s out of sync. Could be hinges, rollers, or even the motor straining. A quick tune-up can save serious repairs later.
• Physical Damage to Hinges, Arms, or Tracks
  Sliding gate repair and swing gate repair often means reworking structural parts. If arms are bent, hinges cracked, or tracks misaligned—we replace or adjust them on-site.
• Safety Sensor Faults
  A gate that won’t close (or opens randomly) might have a faulty sensor. We recalibrate or swap sensors to make sure things operate safely again.
• Intermittent Operation
  The worst kind—because it seems fine until it isn’t. Usually caused by bad wiring, weak boards, or moisture sneaking in where it shouldn’t. We dig deep to solve these.

What Types of Gates Do We Repair?

Whatever system you’ve got, we’ve probably worked on it. Seriously—we’ve handled everything from small residential gates to fully automated commercial entries.

Electric Gates

Electric gate repairs make up a huge part of our work. Whether it’s controls, power issues, or motor failure, we’ll troubleshoot and fix electric gate problems without the guesswork. We’re familiar with a wide range of brands and setups, and we always aim to repair before we replace.

Sliding Gates

Sliding gate repair can be fiddly—especially with older rails or tight clearances. We check alignment, clean tracks, test motors, and replace worn wheels or guides. We also assess any structural wear that could affect long-term operation and adjust accordingly for smoother function.

Swing Gates

If your gate swings oddly or sits uneven, it could be a hinge, pivot, or arm issue. Swing gate repair means checking weight distribution, clearance, and motor control. These systems rely on proper geometry to function safely—we take the time to get it just right.

Automated Gates

These systems need a mix of mechanical skill and technical know-how. Our automated gate servicing covers everything from remote systems to keypad access and safety locks. Whether your system is newly installed or pushing ten years old, we know how to keep it running reliably.

We also carry a wide range of replacement parts, so we can usually finish jobs without needing a second trip.
