Linton
Looking for electric gate installation in Linton? We work with a trusted fabricator covering the village and the surrounding area — 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.
Paddocks, yards and second entrances
The country south-east of Cambridge, out towards Linton and Balsham, holds a good number of properties with land — paddocks, stables, small holdings and yards. Those sites often need more than one gated entrance, and the requirements at each are different.
A house entrance wants to look right and operate quickly. A yard or paddock entrance wants to be robust, wide enough for a trailer or horsebox, and unbothered by mud and livestock. Five-bar style gates in steel rather than timber suit the second job well — they carry automation without dropping over time, and they take knocks that would damage a decorative gate.
Where there are two entrances it is usually worth running both from one access control system, so a single fob or app operates either. It costs less than two independent installations and it avoids the irritation of carrying two remotes.

Full cost guide →Frequently asked questions about electric gates in Linton
Can you automate a paddock or yard entrance?
Yes. These are usually best served by a five-bar style gate built in steel rather than timber, since steel carries automation without sagging and stands up to the knocks a working entrance takes. Width matters too — it needs to take a trailer or horsebox comfortably rather than just a car.
Can one system control two gates?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper than two independent installations. A single fob, keypad or app can operate either entrance, which avoids carrying multiple remotes. It needs planning at survey since the cable runs and control positions have to be worked out together.
Do you install electric gates throughout Linton?
Yes — our installer covers Linton and the surrounding villages including Balsham, Bartlow, Great and Little Abington, Hildersham and Horseheath, along with Haverhill.
Will livestock or horses be safe around an automated gate?
Provided it is specified for the setting. Safety edges and photocells work as they do anywhere, but a gate on a yard entrance benefits from a slower closing speed and an infill that animals cannot get a leg through. It is worth raising at survey if the gate will be used around horses.
What types of electric gate do you supply and install?
Electric swing gates, sliding gates, five-bar style gates, bi-folding gates, full driveway automation and automatic rising bollards, plus automation retrofits to existing gates. All metalwork is fabricated to measure in-house.
