Electric gate repairs in Woking
A Woking gate that has failed often leaves a motor under real strain, especially the heavier sliding gates on the town's private estates. We attend fast, diagnose the actual fault, and quote before any part goes on — no guesswork, no upsell.
The Woking faults we see most
Woking splits neatly into two repair patterns. Around Hook Heath, St John's and the older Horsell roads, the gates are high-specification automated entrances — intercoms, keypads, ANPR — and the failures are as often about access control as about the gate itself: a dead GSM module, an expired SIM, or a receiver that has given up, any of which can lock a household out while the motor is perfectly healthy. On the newer Sheerwater, West Byfleet and Brookwood developments, the gates cycle far more often, so the mechanical wear items — rollers, hinges, capacitors, limit switches — come round sooner and are what we most often replace. Diagnosing which half of that picture you are in is the first thing we do on site.
Not sure what your gate is doing? Our guides break down a gate that won't open and the full repair approach step by step.
When the gate is fine but nothing answers
A surprising share of Woking 'broken gate' callouts turn out to be a healthy gate and a dead connection — a flat fob, a failed intercom handset, or a GSM unit whose SIM has lapsed. We check the cheap, simple causes before anyone mentions a new motor, because replacing a working motor to fix a £15 fob is exactly the kind of bill we exist to prevent. Every visit still includes a safety and force check to BS EN 12453, because a gate that has been playing up is a gate worth checking properly.
Keeping a gate reliable costs less than fixing it reactively — see servicing and maintenance. We also repair gates in Guildford, Weybridge and the wider Woking area.

Frequently asked questions — Woking
Can you fix the intercom and access control, not just the gate, in Woking?
Yes. Many Woking entrances integrate the gate with video intercom, keypads and ANPR, and a single failed board or SIM can take out the whole system. We diagnose and repair the access control alongside the gate, whatever brand was originally installed.
Our Woking gate is on a busy cycle and keeps wearing out — can you help?
High-cycle gates on the newer developments wear rollers, hinges and capacitors faster. We replace the worn items and can set up a servicing schedule so the wear is caught before it strands you — cheaper than reactive callouts.
How fast can you get to Woking?
We prioritise Woking callouts and aim to attend within one to two working days, sooner for a gate stuck open or a household locked out by an access-control fault. Common spares are carried for a first-visit fix.
