We're regularly out in Longtown, on the Esk, just short of the Scottish border – a short run from our Carlisle base. We supply, automate, repair and service electric gates for homes and businesses across the area.
Gates around Longtown
The kind of work we do in and around Longtown:
- Farms and rural properties with long lanes, often fitted with GSM "call to open" control. See automating a five-bar gate
- Large houses with wide entrances, which often suit underground motors and a video intercom
- Modern homes wanting contemporary gates – aluminium and anthracite steel are favourites
- Repairs and servicing on all the major brands, whoever fitted them
Automatic Gates in Longtown
Homes and businesses in Longtown are a short drive from our Carlisle base, 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.
Out on country lanes, the length of the cable run and how you want to open the gate (often by phone) shape the whole design. 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 Longtown is surveyed first, priced in writing and fitted by Adrian, who has 16 years of experience installing gates. We also cover nearby Gretna, Brampton and Kingmoor.
Electric Gate Installation for Longtown Properties
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.

Questions people ask me
Do you fit and repair electric gates in Longtown?
Yes – throughout Longtown and the surrounding area, on all the major brands.
Can you automate a farm gate with no power nearby?
In many cases, yes. It depends how far away a supply is and how much the gate is used, so we'll look on site.
Can I see who's at the gate before I open it?
Yes. With a video intercom you see the visitor on a screen in the house or on your phone.
