A look at our work
Every gate we fit is made to measure for the property it goes on. Here is a small selection of recent installations — traditional and contemporary, swing and sliding.
Local expertise, right on your doorstep
Basildon's New Town heritage gives the area a real mix of housing styles — from post-war family homes and established estates around the town centre to more recent developments near Laindon and Gloucester Park. This variety means our installer regularly fits gates suited to everything from practical suburban driveways to larger detached properties.
With a strong commuter population and many properties offering off-street parking, electric gates are a popular and practical addition across Basildon — adding security and convenience for households balancing work, family and busy daily routines.
Whether you're on a residential street in Basildon itself or in the surrounding Essex countryside, ElectriGate will connect you with the right local specialist for your project — completely free of charge and with no obligation.

Do I need planning permission for electric gates in Essex?
In most cases, no — residential electric gates fall under permitted development rights in England. The main exceptions are gates over 1 metre adjacent to a highway, listed buildings, and properties in conservation areas. Our planning permission guide covers the rules in full.
What types of electric gate do you supply and install?

Most residential installations are completed in one to two days. More complex projects involving new pillars, ground loops and full intercom systems can take two to three days. Your installer will give a precise timeline when they visit for the survey.
