Fast, reliable gate repairs across Kent, London and the South East
Whether your gates have stopped working, developed a fault, or been damaged, our engineers diagnose and resolve issues quickly, getting you back up and running with minimal disruption.
A faulty gate is more than an inconvenience.
A gate that won't open leaves you locked out. A gate that won't close is a security risk. A gate that moves unexpectedly is a safety hazard. Electric gate faults need to be diagnosed and resolved quickly, by engineers who understand the systems involved. At GKW our engineers are trained across a wide range of gate systems and automation equipment, not just the ones we install ourselves. Whether it is a motor failure, a control board fault, a damaged leaf, or a safety device issue, we will find the problem and fix it.
We repair all makes and models of electric gate system, not just our own installations.
Gate not working? Don't leave it. Get in touch and we'll get an engineer out to you as quickly as possible.

Why choose GKW for your gate repairs?
A repair is only as good as the diagnosis behind it. We don't guess and we don't replace parts that don't need replacing. We find the fault, fix it, and tell you honestly if there is anything else you need to know.
We repair all makes and models
We are not limited to systems we have installed ourselves. Our engineers are trained across a wide range of gate automation equipment and can diagnose faults on most major brands.
Honest diagnosis
We tell you what is wrong, what it will cost to fix, and whether it is worth fixing. If a repair is not the right answer, we will offer an alternative solution.
Genuine parts, sourced quickly
We keep a wide range of common parts in stock, so many repairs can be completed on the first visit. When a part needs ordering, we can usually get it from our suppliers within a couple of days. We only fit genuine parts from leading manufacturers, each covered by its own manufacturer's warranty.
Repair or replace advice
If your system is old or repeatedly developing faults, we will give you an honest assessment of whether continued repair makes financial sense or whether replacement is the better option.

Don't just take our word for it
When I arrived at the school as Site Manager the car park gates had been an issue for over two years since they were installed. After using two different companies we turned to GKW who finally rectified our issues and put in a good, fair priced maintenance plan. They are a friendly local team and I would recommend them to other schools and businesses.

Common questions
Do you repair gate systems you haven't installed?
Yes. We repair all makes and models of electric gate system. We will need to inspect the system first to confirm we can source the necessary parts, but in most cases this is not an issue.
How quickly can you get an engineer out?
We aim to attend as quickly as possible. For situations where a gate fault represents a security risk we treat this as a priority. Contact us directly and we will do our best to get to you the same day or next day.
My gate is old. Is it worth repairing?
It depends on the age and condition of the system and the nature of the fault. We will give you an honest assessment on the visit. If continued repair is not the most cost-effective option, we will tell you and talk you through the alternatives.
Can you fix a gate that has been hit by a vehicle?
Yes, in many cases. Impact damage can affect the gate leaf, the posts, the hinges, and the automation equipment. We will assess the full extent of the damage on the visit and advise on what can be repaired and what may need replacing.
