How Much Do Electric Gates Cost & What Can Impact The Price
The electric gates cost doesn’t have to be as high as you may think. Various items impact the overall electric driveway gates cost, aside from the automation of the open and close mechanism and the labour costs. For example, the price of automatic gates is affected by the material you choose to build with. As well as the customisations you may choose to include in the electric gate system to fit the driveway space available, the motor required for your sliding gates or swing gates, and the need (or not) for civil works and other construction preparations, especially when you’re opting for underground automation.
Underground automation is ideal for those who don’t want the arm motor, ram motor and even the linear screw motor to be visible. It’s aesthetically more pleasing and can offer more security than a ground swing gate automation, but hiding the gate motors requires a bit more work, which means they could cost more. With the multiple per day use of your chosen gate automation, it’s essential to ensure you call a reputable gate expert who can also offer per year maintenance service, making all the costs worth it.
#1. Wooden Electric Gates Cost
Wood, which is the most affordable of the three options, but with per day use, tends to fade/go past by date faster (on average within 6-10 years).
Craftsmen make our Iroko (wooden) gates of the highest quality, and all the timber used in our driveway hardwood gates comes from sustainable forests, which helps to keep costs down and allows us to pass on savings on the cost of electric gates. Our electric gate prices for one pair of bespoke Iroko gates, be it a sliding or swing gate, and automated above ground, to existing piers would start from £12,000 +VAT.
For one pair of Iroko gates, automated underground, to existing piers, our cost would start from £12,000 +VAT. We can also supply and bespoke Iroko sliding gate which would begin at £11,500 +VAT. The above prices indicate the costs involved for sliding or swing gates with underground gate automation. And the prices can change depending on the width and height of the gates, the gate motor required, the open and close mechanism, as well as any accessories you decide to add.

#2 Metal Electric Gates Cost
Metal/Steel, which can produce long-lasting and heavy-duty set-ups, costs around 10% more on average than wood. However, when it comes to the cost of electric gate maintenance, driveway gates designed using steel tend to need more regular maintenance (but still last longer than wood overall).
To provide and fit one pair of bespoke metal gates, automated above ground, to existing piers would start from £11,500 +VAT. Our sliding gates prices for the supply and fitting of one pair of metal gates, automated underground, to existing piers would start from £12,000 +VAT.
