Electric Gate Repairs and Servicing Across Hampshire
Perimeter Fencing and Gates provides professional electric gate repairs, automatic gate servicing and gate automation maintenance across Hampshire, including Southampton, Winchester, Romsey, Eastleigh, Chandlers Ford, Fareham, Ringwood, Lymington and surrounding areas.
Electric gates should be maintained properly for reliability and safety. When a gate stops working, becomes intermittent, moves unevenly or starts behaving unpredictably, the cause may be mechanical, electrical or safety-related.
We inspect the gate as a complete system. That means checking the gate movement, motors, control equipment, safety devices, access controls and visible mechanical condition before advising on the correct repair or servicing route.

Electric Gate Repairs Done Properly
Electric gate faults are not always caused by the motor. A gate can fail because of the control panel, safety devices, access control, cabling, water ingress, poor alignment or mechanical resistance in the gate itself.
Accurate Diagnosis
We inspect the full automation system before recommending a repair. That includes gate movement, motors, control boards, photocells, safety edges, intercoms, keypads and visible mechanical condition.
Practical Repairs
Where a sensible repair is possible, we will explain the issue clearly and advise on the most reliable route. If a part is unsafe, worn out or no longer practical to repair, we will say so.
Reliability First
The aim is not just to make the gate move once. The aim is to restore safe, predictable operation and reduce the chance of the same fault returning.

Automatic Gate Servicing for Safer, More Reliable Gates
Electric gates should be serviced properly to keep the automation working safely, smoothly and reliably. A gate that is used every day has motors, hinges, tracks, rollers, safety devices, control equipment and access systems all working together.
Our electric gate servicing covers the full system, not just the visible fault. We check the movement of the gate, the automation hardware, the control panel, photocells, safety edges, intercoms, keypads and the general condition of the installation.
Regular maintenance can help prevent avoidable breakdowns, reduce strain on motors, identify worn parts early and keep your automated entrance operating as it should.
What We Check During Servicing
- Gate movement and alignment
- Motor operation and mounting points
- Control panel condition
- Photocells and safety devices
- Safety edges and stop/reverse behaviour
- Remote controls, intercoms and keypads
- Sliding gate track, rack and rollers
- Swing gate hinges and arm geometry
- Visible cabling and water ingress risks
- General wear, strain and maintenance issues
Servicing is especially important for busy entrances, older automation systems, underground motors, exposed sites, heavy timber gates and gates used by multiple people.
Repairs for Different Gate Automation Systems
Swing gates and sliding gates fail in different ways, so the repair approach needs to suit the system. We inspect the gate, automation equipment and safety devices together, rather than treating the motor as the only possible fault.
Swing Gate Repairs
Swing gate problems can be caused by motor faults, hinge strain, poor geometry, worn brackets, underground motor issues, control panel faults or one leaf working harder than the other.
- Above-ground motor faults
- Underground motor issues
- Uneven gate leaf movement
- Hinge strain and alignment problems
- Safety device interruptions
Sliding Gate Repairs
Sliding gate issues often involve the motor, track, rollers, guide system, rack, limits, debris on the track, control equipment or resistance in the gate movement.
- Sliding gate motor faults
- Track, rack and roller issues
- Gate stopping halfway
- Guide and alignment problems
- Obstruction detection faults
Repairing the System, Not Just the Symptom
A gate that struggles to move may not need a bigger motor. It may need the track cleaning, hinges adjusting, safety devices testing, the control panel checking or mechanical resistance removing from the gate itself.
That is why our repair process looks at the full entrance system. The goal is safe, predictable operation and a repair that makes sense for the age, condition and specification of the gate.
Gate Automation Safety Checks Are Not Optional
Electric gates are powered machinery. That means they need to be installed, maintained and checked with safety in mind, especially where gates are used by families, visitors, delivery drivers, tenants or members of the public.
As part of servicing and repair work, we check the safety devices and general operation of the gate automation system. This can include photocells, safety edges, force settings, stop and reverse behaviour, access control operation and obvious risks around the gate movement area.
We follow HSE electric gate safety guidelines to ensure full compliance with UK regulations.
Safety Items We Check
- Photocell operation and alignment
- Safety edge condition
- Stop and reverse behaviour
- Force settings and gate movement
- Access control operation
- Possible trapping or crushing risks
- Gate travel area and user safety
- Signs of unsafe wear or poor adjustment
If a Gate Is Unsafe, We Will Tell You Clearly
If your gate is operating unsafely, missing key safety devices or failing to stop correctly, we will explain the issue and recommend the right corrective work. That may involve safety edge replacement, photocell adjustment, force setting checks, control changes or further repair to the gate structure or automation equipment.

Perimeter Fencing and Gates is not just a call-out repair company. We design, install, automate, service and repair gate systems, so we understand the full entrance — not only the control panel.
That matters because many electric gate problems are not caused by one isolated part. A motor fault may be linked to a heavy gate, poor alignment, worn hinges, a damaged track, water ingress, unsafe force settings or an incorrectly specified system.
Our approach is practical and professional. We assess the system, explain what we find and recommend the repair or maintenance route that makes sense for the condition of the gate.
