Electric Gates in Grays
Electric gate installation, repairs and servicing across Grays and the rest of Thurrock. This is our home patch — our base is in Chafford Hundred, on the edge of Grays.
Gate installers on your doorstep
Most of our customers are a drive away. In Grays, we are just round the corner. Our workshop and vans are based in Chafford Hundred, so a survey in Little Thurrock, a repair in Chadwell St Mary or a quote for a new gate in Orsett rarely needs more than a short trip across town.
Housing across Grays is a real mix. Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre often have short frontages, where a compact sliding gate or a pair of lightweight swing gates fits better than anything heavy. The 1990s and 2000s estates around Chafford Hundred and Badgers Dene tend to have open-plan front gardens and block-paved drives, and the larger plots out towards Orsett and Bulphan have room for bigger, more traditional gates.
Whatever the property, we start with a free site survey, measure the opening and the fall of the drive, and recommend a gate and motor that suit the space rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

Gates for Thurrock’s yards and units
Thurrock is one of the busiest commercial areas in Essex. Between the Port of Tilbury, DP World London Gateway, the logistics parks in West Thurrock and Purfleet and the retail around Lakeside, there are a lot of yards and units that need a gate opening and closing reliably dozens of times a day.
For these sites we install heavy-duty sliding and cantilever gates in galvanised steel, with motors rated for high-frequency use, safety edges and photocells. We can tie the gate into access control so staff use a fob, keypad or ANPR, and visitors are let in from reception.
All groundworks, steelwork and electrical connections are done by our own team. We hold CSCS cards and enhanced DBS clearance for work on sensitive and public sites.

Grays questions
Common questions from homeowners and businesses in Grays and across Thurrock.
All of it. We are based in Chafford Hundred and regularly work in Grays, Little Thurrock, West Thurrock, Chadwell St Mary, Purfleet, Tilbury, South Ockendon, Aveley, Orsett, Stanford-le-Hope and Corringham. For neighbouring areas, see our Basildon and Hornchurch and Upminster pages.
Because we are based locally, Grays and the rest of Thurrock are the quickest areas for us to reach. Urgent call-outs, such as a gate stuck open on a commercial site, are prioritised. Call us on 01375 886299 and we will give you an honest time.
Usually, yes. Many terraced and semi-detached homes in Grays have only a few metres between the pavement and the house. A sliding gate does not swing into the drive, so it suits short frontages, as long as there is enough wall or fence beside the opening for the gate to slide behind. If there is not, inward-opening swing gates or a bi-fold or telescopic gate may work instead. We will check on the survey.
Gates under 1 metre high next to a road, or under 2 metres elsewhere, are usually permitted development for houses. Taller gates, listed buildings, flats and some estates with covenants may need permission, so check with Thurrock Council or your management company before ordering. We can advise on height and design during the survey.
We also provide CCTV installation in Grays, access control & intercoms in Grays automatic door servicing in Grays and burglar alarms in Grays & Thurrock.
