Driveway gates for Rayleigh homes
Rayleigh is about 16 miles from our Chafford Hundred base, via the A13 and A130. It is an area we know well: a market town with a lot of detached and semi-detached homes set back from the road, and a good number of drives long enough for a proper pair of gates.
Many Rayleigh properties, particularly on the roads leading out of the town centre and towards Hockley, have deep front gardens and wide drives. These suit aluminium swing gates with underground or arm motors, or a sliding gate where the drive slopes up from the road. Older homes with brick piers can usually keep them, as long as the piers are sound enough to take the weight.
We start every job with a free survey to check the opening, the ground, the gradient and where the power will come from.

Beyond the town centre
North of Rayleigh, the roads around Hockley and Hullbridge become leafier and the plots larger, with homes backing onto woodland or out towards the River Crouch. Here a gate is often as much about keeping dogs and children in as keeping others out, so we pay close attention to safety: photocells, safety edges and force limits set correctly for family homes.
For rural and semi-rural properties with a long run back to the house, we can add a video intercom or a smartphone opener so you can let visitors in without walking down the drive.
We also install composite and steel gates, and repair existing gates of any make.

Driveway gates off the A129
Rayleigh, Hockley and Hullbridge are the town and creek side of this page. Ramsden Bellhouse is the rural side, towards Wickford on the A129 and A130: longer plots, field gates and driveway gates rather than estate-road frontages.
Wickford still covers Runwell, Shotgate and Rettendon. Ramsden Bellhouse driveway-gate searches should land here. Cameras: CCTV in Rayleigh.
Rayleigh questions
Common questions from homeowners in Rayleigh and the Rochford District.
Yes. We cover Rayleigh, Hockley, Hullbridge, Rawreth, Ashingdon and Rochford. Rayleigh is about 16 miles from our base in Chafford Hundred. For Thundersley and Benfleet, see our Benfleet page.
Often, yes, but we check first. Automated gates put extra load on hinges and piers, especially larger swing gates. If a pier is cracked, leaning or hollow, we will recommend rebuilding it or fitting a steel post behind it before the gate goes up.
Swing gates need clear space behind them to open, and a level drive. Sliding gates need wall or fence space beside the opening, but they cope better with slopes and short drives. Many Rayleigh drives suit either. See our driveway gates page for the options.
They are when they are installed properly. We fit photocells and safety edges and set the motor force to current safety standards, so the gate stops and reverses if it meets an obstruction. We test everything with you before we hand over.
