£250 Emergency Gate Opening or Closing

If your swing or sliding gate is faulty, damaged or stuck open or closed, we can send an engineer to inspect it as soon as possible.

This service costs £250 and includes having an engineer come to your broken gate on priority and help you gain access to your property.

Who needs this emergency gate repair attendance service?

You may require this emergency gate repair attendance service when:

  • Your gate is jammed closed and you can’t exit the property
  • You cannot lock up your property and your gate is stuck open
  • Damage to the gate / automation system during a break-in
  • The manual release won’t work
  • The gate leaf has halted halfway during opening or closing
  • The complete gate structure must be temporarily made safe before a permanent repair can be carried out

What do you get from our emergency attendance?

An engineer within the next 1 hour to 24 hours depending on your property location - we will keep you updated with the time taken to reach you.

The purpose of emergency gate repairs service is to open or close the gate to help you restore access to your property. Our engineer will get the gate open or closed where it is safe and reasonably possible to do so.

Our guarantee

Guaranteed Emergency Attendance Within 24 Hours

Once we have accepted and confirmed your emergency gate repair booking, we guarantee that an engineer will attend within 1 to 24 hours.

This guarantee covers emergency attendance and the work needed to open or close the gate where safely possible. It does not guarantee that every underlying fault can be permanently repaired during the emergency visit.

A permanent repair may require:

Replacement components​

Specialist fabrication or welding

Additional electrical work

Parts that must be ordered

A return visit

If further work is needed, we will explain the fault and provide your repair options.

Simple pricing

Standard Gate Repair Pricing

Our pricing still is simple for non-emergency repairs or for repairs that are needed after the initial issue of gaining access is taken care of.

£150

Call-out and first hour

£60

For each additional hour

If the repair takes longer than the first hour, additional labour is charged at £60 per hour.

Replacement parts and specialist materials are not included. We will discuss these with you before ordering or fitting them.

Our approach

Repair First, Replace Later

We do not recommend replacing a gate motor or automation system simply because it has developed a fault.

Our engineers will first look for a practical and cost-effective repair. Replacement will only be recommended when the existing equipment is unsafe, beyond economical repair or unlikely to remain reliable.

You remain in control. We will explain the available options and will not order replacement parts without your approval.

Check our blog article, which discusses whether repairing or replacing your gate motor or automation system is the right option.

Repair or replace guide

Your protection

Our No Fix, No Fee Policy

If we cannot repair the reported fault, you will not be charged the full £150 repair call-out or additional hourly labour.

A minimum £50 attendance and assessment charge will still apply. This contributes towards the engineer's travel, time and diagnostic expenses.

If we fix the fault, our standard repair charges apply.
If we cannot fix it, you pay only the £50 minimum attendance charge.
Any separately agreed emergency opening or closing service remains chargeable.
Any parts or specialist services approved by you are charged separately.

This qualification is part of our No Fix, No Fee policy and will be explained when your visit is booked.

Raf was excellent. He came in on a Bank Holiday when he couldn't work the levis week due to bad weather. He was thorough in checking every issue with the gate, changed the motor and took us through all aspects of the installation so we could monitor and solve minor issues ourselves. Very happy with the service

Outstanding. I have a gate more tempermental than a hormanal teenager that evenutally stopped working and Raf came and within the hour totally sorted it. It ran smoothly for months and months ....but...my bad...totally my fault... naughty step for me...I didn't follow his intructions to clean the track and it got stuck this morning. I couldn't manually open it and I couldn't get the car out for the school run during a tube strike! Ahrrrrghhh. Within the hour he was there and yet again - total hero - he sorted it. Massive relief. He needs to be first on everyones emergency call when your gate is experiencing problems. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable and instills confidence strightaway. Utter professional and even though it's raining, the day is looking brighter by the fact that he has fixed my gate with my car trapped behind it. If only everything in life was fixable with just one call away.....

Raph is exceptionally good at what he does. I tried 3 different companies to repair my gate who came up with completely random solutions in an attempt to charge me huge amounts. Kept searching and and found gate fixers and I’m over the moon. He came when he said he would, solved the problem with a very practical solution and also helped solve other issues with the gate that he spotted that I didn’t even know, all for a very reasonable price as agreed. There are not many genuinely honest people around these days (ie won’t over charge or maximise their own profit to your detriment with unnecessary work) but Raph is def one of them. Would recommend him very very highly. An encyclopedia of gate knowledge and the best at what he does.

Outstanding Service and Professionalism from Raf and the Gate Fixers Team. We recently had our entire doorbell and gate intercom system overhauled by Gate Fixers, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience from start to finish. Raf, who led the installation, was exceptional — friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about delivering quality work. The project involved multiple internal monitors linked to our electric pedestrian gate and a complete overhaul of our electric car gate. Raf went above and beyond to ensure everything worked seamlessly, modernising the whole system and even troubleshooting and repairing a previously faulty unit that others hadn’t been able to fix. His work ethic, reliability, and attention to detail were second to none. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to ensuring everything is perfect and that the customer is completely happy. I would recommend Raf and the team without hesitation — an absolutely top-class service from genuinely decent and hardworking professionals.

What can I say - Amazing. The service from Raf from start to finish was exceptional. They deal with everything, ordered and installed everything for me and provided a warranty. It’s a one-stop shop where you don’t need to deal with anybody else. He initially came to look at the issue with my Came motor but didn't charge me for the call-out as the motor was beyond repair! That's a breath of fresh air in today's world where companies will charge you for each and everything. He removed the old motor and proceeded to recommend a replacement, ordered the new motor and came earlier than expected to fix it, but unfortunately, there was a mismatch in the wheel size with the new model. He tried to fit the old wheel so that he could still complete the job that day, but the size was just slightly out! He was not fazed he got on to his suppliers there and then and proceeded to order the required part then duly came back to install the new motor. It was an amazing job and gate works perfectly. I asked him to add another couple of photosensors for safety which he did even though it was a tricky job and he charged a very reasonable amount, just the 1-hour labour and cost of photo sensor even though it took him longer as it was a bit more difficult than expected due to having to run discreet extra power cables for both sensors. I wish all companies operated like this. Raf was always courteous, polite and professional, and he even turned up early (as he had a free slot unexpectedly), you can’t go wrong with this company! Don’t hesitate in commissioning this company for any of your gate needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the £250 service a complete gate repair?

No. The £250 emergency service is for urgently opening or closing a stuck gate. Its purpose is to restore access or help secure the property. If diagnosis or permanent repair work is also required, our standard £150 call-out and repair charge applies. Additional repair time is £60 per hour.

Yes. Once we have accepted and confirmed the booking, we guarantee emergency attendance within 24 hours. This guarantee applies to attendance and emergency opening or closing. A permanent repair may require parts or a return visit.

Call us on 0785 104 6581. We will arrange emergency attendance to open the gate where it is safe and reasonably possible to do so.

We can attend to close or temporarily secure the gate. If additional work is required because the gate, motor or control system has been damaged, the standard repair charges may apply in addition to the £250 emergency service.
