How Much Do Electric Gates Cost in the UK?

One of the most common questions we get asked is: how much do electric gates cost in the UK? The answer depends on a few key factors — gate size, material, design, and the type of automation system used.

Typical Price Range

As a general guide, a fully installed electric gate system usually ranges from £3,500 to £9,500. Bespoke, large-scale, or high-end projects can exceed this range.

Material Costs

  • Timber gates: £3,800–£5,500

  • Steel gates: £4,500–£6,500

  • Composite gates: from £4,200

Automation Options

Underground motors are discreet and smooth, but involve more groundworks and cost more. Above-ground arms and sliding gear are simpler and more affordable where space allows.

Extras That Affect the Price

  • GSM intercoms or video entry systems

  • Remote fobs or keypad access

  • Power trenching & groundwork

  • Bespoke gate design

We use trusted motors from Roger Technology, and all systems include safety features like photocells, force limitation, and emergency access.
