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.
Gates on a shared access
A good number of properties around Huntingdon and Godmanchester sit on shared driveways or private access roads serving several houses. Gating those is entirely achievable, and often the most effective security improvement available, but it raises questions a single-household installation does not.
The practical ones are straightforward enough. Each household needs its own means of entry, and it should be possible to add or revoke a user without re-coding the whole system — individual fob codes or app-based access rather than one shared code everyone knows. Visitor access needs thought too, since an intercom serving four houses works differently from one serving one.
The less obvious question is legal rather than technical. Where a right of way exists over the access, obstructing it can be a problem even where the obstruction is temporary and everyone has a fob. It is worth checking the deeds and getting the other households on side before anything is ordered — that is a conversation for you and your neighbours rather than your installer, but it is better had early.

Full cost guide →Frequently asked questions about electric gates in Huntingdon
Can you gate a shared driveway?
Yes, and it is often the single most effective security improvement for properties on a private access. Each household gets its own entry method, with individual codes or app access so users can be added or removed without re-coding the system. Visitor access via intercom needs configuring to serve multiple households.
Do I need my neighbours' agreement?
Almost certainly, and it is worth establishing before ordering anything. Where a right of way exists over a shared access, obstructing it can be a problem even temporarily. Checking the deeds and getting agreement in writing first avoids an expensive disagreement later. That conversation sits with you rather than your installer, but we would always advise having it early.
Do you install electric gates throughout Huntingdon?
Yes — our installer covers Huntingdon, Godmanchester and the surrounding villages including Brampton, Hartford, Buckden and Great Stukeley, along with St Ives and Ramsey.
What access control suits multiple households?
App-based control with individual user accounts is generally the cleanest answer, since access can be granted and revoked per household without touching anyone else's. Fob systems work too provided each fob is individually coded rather than all sharing one. See our access control page for the options.
What types of electric gate do you supply and install?
Electric swing gates, sliding gates, bi-folding gates, full driveway automation and automatic rising bollards. On shared accesses, sliding gates are often preferable since they need no swing clearance and cope better with high daily use.
