Electric Gates
Fareham.
Bespoke electric gates in Fareham designed, manufactured and installed for premium homes, private driveways and secure coastal entrances across Fareham, Portchester, Stubbington, Titchfield, Locks Heath, Warsash, Catisfield and Whiteley.
Electric Gates Designed for Fareham Homes and Driveways
Perimeter Fencing and Gates installs electric gates across Fareham and the surrounding coastal and semi-rural areas, with each system designed around the exact entrance rather than treated as a standard kit installation. Around Fareham and Portchester, driveways can sit close to the road, with limited vehicle waiting space and a need for precise gate movement planning.
In areas such as Stubbington, Titchfield, Locks Heath, Warsash, Catisfield and Whiteley, we also see wider private entrances, exposed approaches and premium residential properties where gate weight, wind shear force, foundation depth, automation geometry and access control must be engineered properly from the outset.
We build each system around the entrance. That includes the gate design, posts, sub-surface foundation pouring, hinges or track, automation, access control, safety equipment and statutory compliance testing, so the finished installation is secure, refined and reliable for daily use.
Electric Gates for Residential and Secure Entrances Around Fareham
Fareham driveways often need a more engineered gate layout than a simple open entrance. Some homes have short forecourts, parked vehicles near the gate line, tighter turning areas or entrances close to a road or pavement. In those cases, the automation, safety layout and vehicle waiting position must be planned properly.
For properties around Fareham, Portchester and Whiteley, a sliding gate or carefully positioned swing gate may help preserve usable driveway space. For larger entrances around Titchfield, Locks Heath, Warsash and Catisfield, we may recommend stronger posts, deeper foundations, steel-framed construction, wind shear force calculations and a more robust automation specification.
We specify the gate system around everyday use, including visitor entry, delivery access, pedestrian movement, vehicle turning space, intercom positioning, emergency release access and how close the gate is to the public road.
Electric Gate Systems We Install in Fareham
The right system depends on the driveway layout, available opening space, gate weight, wind exposure, access control requirements and how the entrance is used day to day.
Swing Gates
Electric swing gates suit many Fareham homes where there is enough driveway depth for safe opening, closing and vehicle positioning.
Sliding Gates
Sliding electric gates can help where driveway depth is limited, the entrance is wider or swing gates would interfere with parking.
Automation
We specify motors, control panels and safety equipment around the gate size, weight, usage level, wind loading and site layout.
Access Control
Keypads, remotes, fobs, GSM intercoms, video entry and app-based access can be included where required.
Electric Gate Designs Suitable for Fareham Entrances
Different Fareham properties need different gate styles. We can build timber-clad gates, composite gates, wrought iron-style gates and sliding gate systems depending on the entrance layout, finish, exposure and automation requirements.

How Much Do Electric Gates Cost in Fareham?
The cost of a complete electric gate installation in Fareham depends on the entrance width, gate weight, material specification, automation type, access control, power supply, safety equipment and the level of groundworks required. Premium residential systems are specified after a proper site survey rather than priced from a generic kit list.
Electric sliding gates are usually more involved than swing gates because they can require more groundwork, stronger support, track or cantilever hardware and heavier automation equipment. Exposed entrances near Stubbington, Titchfield, Locks Heath and Warsash may also need closer consideration of wind loading and structural reinforcement.

Why Fareham Customers Choose Perimeter Fencing and Gates
We are not just fitting motors to gates. We design the complete entrance system so the gate, frame, posts, automation, safety setup and access control work together properly.
That matters on Fareham properties where entrance width, road position, wind exposure, boundary walls, mature landscaping and parking layout can affect the right gate choice. A suitable installation needs the right structure, foundation design, automation and statutory compliance testing from the start.
We keep the process straightforward: survey the entrance, specify the correct system, provide a clear quotation and install the gate to a professional standard.
Electric Gate Safety Comes First
Electric gates are powered machines. A safe installation needs more than a motor and a remote control. The system must be specified around safe movement, pedestrian protection, vehicle access, force limitation and reliable stopping.
We allow for suitable safety equipment such as photocells, safety edges, correct force settings and professional commissioning where required by the gate design and site layout.
We follow HSE electric gate safety guidelines to ensure full compliance with UK regulations.
From Fareham Site Survey to Installation
We survey the entrance first so the gate system is specified correctly rather than guessed from a photo.
1. Site Survey
We inspect the opening, driveway layout, ground levels, exposure, power options, access requirements and any existing gates or posts.
2. Specification
We recommend the most suitable gate type, materials, automation, access controls, foundation approach and safety equipment for the entrance.
3. Quotation
You receive a clear quotation based on the agreed specification, so you know what is included before work begins.
4. Installation
We install, commission and set up the gate system so it is ready for everyday use.
