Cockermouth is on the edge of the Lake District, where the Cocker meets the Derwent, and it's well within our reach from Carlisle. We supply, automate, repair and service electric gates for homes and businesses across the area.

Cockermouth Electric Gates, Made to Measure
Homes and businesses in Cockermouth are an easy run from Carlisle, so automatic gates here get the same attention as a job on our own doorstep. We fit swing, sliding and bifold gates, automate existing ones and look after them for years afterwards.
Older properties need a careful touch: we look closely at the pillars and the existing gates, and often hide the motors underground so the entrance keeps its character. Wide entrances and heavier gates need motors with something in reserve, so we size the CAME kit to the gate rather than to a price list.
Every electric gate we install in Cockermouth is surveyed first, priced in writing and fitted by Adrian, who has 16 years of experience installing gates. We also cover nearby Keswick, Workington and Maryport.
Automated Gates in Cockermouth: Safe, Tested and Warranted
Before anything is ordered, we check the width and slope of the entrance, the strength of the posts or pillars, and where the power will come from. That's what lets us choose the right gate and the right CAME motors for it.
Safety is built in: photocells and safety edges where they're needed, a force test to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover. As BIGAA members, we follow the safety regulations for electrical work and gate automation on every job.
New installations come with a 3-year parts and labour warranty, and we're here for servicing and repairs whenever you need us.

Frequently, as long as the gates are sound and the pillars are solid. We check both before we quote.
