Gate motor repairs in Craighall.

The gate the house cannot see

On these stands the entrance is a long way from the house, which makes the intercom a security function rather than a convenience.

Faults get noticed late too. A beam tripping intermittently for weeks is reported only when the gate refuses altogether, by which time the household has been living with a warning it did not recognise.

Where an original cable run has failed, a proper re-run or a GSM unit beat chasing a damaged buried cable through an established garden. On a slider, the track and the rack are dealt with under sliding gate repairs.

Heavy gates on generous frontages

The gates are substantial, and the recurring fault is a motor chosen for something lighter — frequently because a gate was upgraded and the motor kept.

It moves the gate, so it appears fine, and it runs permanently at the top of its duty cycle. Slowness is the first symptom, early failure the second. Where the fault turns out to be the motor itself, that is ordinary gate motor repair work rather than anything exotic.

Mature gardens

Established planting drops into tracks and hinge lines and drifts into beam lines. A clear-out before the rains and a check after them prevents most of what we attend here.
