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.
Why the water table matters here
Wisbech sits in the heart of the fens, and a good deal of the surrounding land lies at or below sea level with a water table close to the surface. That has a direct bearing on one common specification choice: underground motors.
In-ground operators sit in a below-surface housing, which needs to drain. Where the water table is high, that housing fills, and no amount of sealing keeps water out indefinitely. The result is premature failure of an expensive component. On these sites an above-ground ram or articulated arm operator is almost always the better answer — less discreet, considerably more reliable, and far cheaper to service when something does need attention.
It is worth raising at enquiry if you have your heart set on the hidden look of an underground system. Sometimes it is achievable with proper drainage provision, and sometimes it genuinely is not. Better to have that conversation before the quote than after the first wet winter.

Do you install electric gates throughout Wisbech?
Yes — our installer covers Wisbech and the surrounding villages including Elm, Emneth, Leverington, Tydd St Giles and Parson Drove, along with March and across to Long Sutton and Downham Market.
Can I have underground gate motors in Wisbech?
Sometimes, but it needs assessing rather than assuming. In-ground operators sit in a below-surface housing that must drain, and much of the land around Wisbech has a water table close to the surface. Where drainage cannot be guaranteed, an above-ground ram or arm operator is the sensible specification — less discreet but far more reliable and much easier to service.
How quickly can I get a quote?
Wisbech is around twenty-five miles from our installer's base in Boston, so surveys here can usually be arranged quickly. Submit an enquiry and you should hear back within 24 to 48 hours.
Do gates need to be built differently for exposed fen sites?
Often, yes. Flat open country means a gate takes considerably more wind load than the same gate on a sheltered street, and a solid infill acts like a sail. That can mean deeper post foundations, heavier sections or an infill that lets air through.
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. All metalwork is fabricated to measure in-house.
