Electric Gates
Lincoln
Looking for electric gate installation in Lincoln? We work with a trusted local fabricator covering the city and the surrounding Lincolnshire villages — supplying and fitting swing gates, sliding gates, driveway automation and electric bollards.
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
Lincoln splits neatly into two halves for anyone fitting gates. Uphill, around the Bailgate and the Cathedral Quarter, you have historic stone properties, narrow approaches and a good deal of conservation area and listed building coverage. Downhill and out towards the newer estates, the picture is completely different — wider frontages, modern brickwork and far fewer planning constraints.
That divide matters because it changes what will actually get approved and what will physically fit. A wrought iron design that suits a stone property near the cathedral would look wrong on a new build off Doddington Road, and a contemporary slatted gate that works beautifully in Nettleham may need rethinking within a conservation area.
Our local installer covers the city and the villages around it — Nettleham, Welton, Washingborough, Bracebridge Heath, Skellingthorpe and Saxilby among them. Send us an enquiry and we will match you with the right specialist for your property, free of charge and with no obligation.

Do you install electric gates throughout Lincoln?
Yes — our local installer covers Lincoln itself along with the surrounding villages including Nettleham, Welton, Washingborough, Bracebridge Heath and Saxilby. If you are unsure whether your postcode is covered, send us an enquiry and we will confirm straight away.
Do I need planning permission for electric gates in Lincoln?
It depends where in the city you are. Most residential gates fall under permitted development rights, but a large part of uphill Lincoln sits within a conservation area and the city has a high concentration of listed buildings. Gates over 1 metre adjacent to a highway also need consent. Our planning permission guide sets out the rules, and your installer will flag anything that looks likely to need an application.
How quickly can I get a quote?
Once you submit an enquiry through our quote form, your local installer will typically be in touch within 24 to 48 hours. If you call our 24/7 message line directly you can often arrange a site survey sooner.
What types of electric gate do you supply and install?
Our Lincoln installer fits electric swing gates, sliding gates, bi-folding gates, full driveway automation systems and automatic rising bollards. They also carry out automation retrofits to existing gates where structurally suitable. Materials include aluminium, steel, wrought iron, timber and composite.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one to two days. Projects involving new pillars, ground loops and full intercom systems can take two to three days. Bollard installations require excavation and typically take two days. Your installer will confirm timings at survey.
