Electric & Automatic Gate Repair in Plymouth
Plymouth Gates & Railings repairs and services electric and automatic gates across Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall, including gates we did not install.
When an automated gate stops, jams or starts behaving oddly, you want someone local who can get to you and fix it.
We diagnose the fault, repair or replace the worn parts, and service the gate so it keeps running. Regular servicing is the cheapest way to avoid a gate failing at the worst possible moment.
Every repair and service is carried out by our partner NS Metal Crafting Ltd, a Plymouth family business since 2017.
Call 01752 741454 to book a repair or service.
What We Repair & Service
Fault-Finding & Repair
Gates that will not open, close, or stop on the safety edge. We trace the fault to the motor, ram, control board, hinges or power supply, and put it right.
Worn Hardware Replacement
Seized motors, worn rams, pitted pivots and tired hinges are the most common coastal failures. We replace like for like or upgrade where it makes sense.
Servicing & Maintenance Plans
A scheduled service catches small issues before they strand you. Each visit covers:
- A safety check.
- Lubrication of moving parts.
- A force-test on powered gates.
- A full hardware inspection.
For a new gate or a new automation install, see driveway, electric and automatic gates.
How It Works
1. Describe The Fault
Tell us what the gate is doing, or not doing. We will often narrow it down over the phone.
2. On-Site Diagnosis
We attend, test the gate, and tell you what is wrong and what it will cost before we proceed.
3. Repair & Test
We repair or replace the faulty parts and re-test the gate, including the safety function on powered gates. {DHF-PENDING}

Why Coastal Gates Fail Early
Saltash and the other Tamar-side towns take salt-laden air straight off the water. That air seizes gate motors and corrodes hinges and rams far faster than inland.
Mechanical wear, not control faults
Most call-outs we see there are worn mechanical parts and pitted pivots, not control faults.
Coastal-grade service interval
A coastal-grade service interval and proper lubrication make the difference between a gate that lasts and one that seizes.

Common Mistakes vs What We Do
Running a gate to failure
Common mistake: ignoring a gate that is straining or slowing, until the motor burns out and the bill trebles. What we do: we service on a sensible interval so worn parts are swapped before they fail.
Replacing the wrong part
Common mistake: replacing a control board when the real fault is a corroded hinge binding the leaf. What we do: we diagnose the actual cause before quoting any part.
Skipping the safety test
Common mistake: skipping the safety force-test after a repair, leaving a powered gate that can injure. What we do: we re-test the safety function on every powered-gate repair. {DHF-PENDING}
