Electric Gates
Peterborough
Looking for electric gate installation in Peterborough? We work with a trusted local fabricator covering the city and the surrounding Cambridgeshire 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
Peterborough is one of the fastest-growing cities in the UK, and that growth shows in its property mix. New residential developments continue to expand around Hampton, Werrington and Orton, while established areas like Longthorpe and Thorpe Road retain a stock of larger period homes with generous driveways.
Beyond the city, the surrounding villages — Castor, Ailsworth, Wansford, Barnack and Elton among them — include a good number of stone-built and listed properties where gate design needs to respect the character of the building. Our local installer works across both, from contemporary composite gates on new builds to traditional metal designs for older properties.
Whether you are in Peterborough itself or one of the surrounding Cambridgeshire villages, ElectriGate will connect you with the right local specialist for your project — completely free of charge and with no obligation.

Do you install electric gates throughout Peterborough?
Yes — our local installer covers Peterborough and the surrounding Cambridgeshire areas including Stamford, Wisbech and March. If you are unsure whether your postcode is covered, send us an enquiry and we will confirm straight away.
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.
Do I need planning permission for electric gates?
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, which is worth checking in the stone-built villages around Peterborough. Our planning permission guide covers the rules in full.
What types of electric gate do you supply and install?
Our Peterborough 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 available include aluminium, steel, wrought iron and timber.
How long does installation take?
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. Bollard installations require excavation and typically take two days. Your installer will give a precise timeline at survey.
