Electric Gates
Skegness
Looking for electric gate installation in Skegness? We work with a trusted local fabricator covering the town and the surrounding coast — 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.
Built to handle a coastal setting
Anything installed within a few miles of the coast lives a harder life than the same product inland. Salt-laden air attacks untreated steel, works into hinge pins and bearings, and shortens the life of electrical contacts inside a control box that has not been properly sealed. It is the single biggest factor in how long a gate lasts here.
The answer is specification rather than maintenance. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating rather than paint alone, stainless fixings instead of zinc-plated, and enclosures rated for the exposure. It costs a little more at the outset and saves a great deal over fifteen years — and it is the sort of detail that separates a gate still working smoothly in a decade from one already showing rust bleed at the welds.
Alongside the residential work, Skegness and the coast north of it carry a good number of holiday parks, caravan sites and commercial premises where barrier and access control requirements are rather different from a domestic driveway. Our installer covers both.

Do you install electric gates throughout Skegness?
Yes — our installer covers Skegness and the surrounding coastal area including Ingoldmells, Chapel St Leonards, Winthorpe, Burgh le Marsh and Wainfleet. He is based in Boston, around 24 miles away, which keeps the area comfortably within range for servicing as well as installation.
Will a gate near the coast rust more quickly?
It will if it is not specified for the setting. Salt air is corrosive and untreated or painted-only steel will show it within a few years. Hot-dip galvanising before powder coating, stainless fixings and properly sealed control enclosures make the difference. Your installer will specify accordingly rather than quoting a standard inland build.
Do you fit gates and barriers for holiday parks and commercial sites?
Yes. Caravan parks, holiday sites and commercial premises along the coast often need higher-cycle systems, barrier arms or rising bollards rather than a domestic gate, along with access control for staff and guests. These are quoted individually after a site visit.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one to two days. Projects involving new pillars, ground loops or full intercom systems can take two to three days. Commercial installations vary considerably and are scoped at survey.
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, plus automation retrofits to existing gates where they are structurally suitable. For coastal properties, galvanised steel and aluminium tend to be the sensible choices.
