The Challenge

The homeowner wanted to install electric aluminium gates in East Sussex while retaining the existing brick piers at the entrance. A key requirement was a greater gate height for improved security, without altering the brickwork. The client also needed advanced remote access control and a practical solution for handling frequent parcel deliveries without drivers needing to access the property.

Our Approach

We recommended electric aluminium swing gates in a swan top profile – a style that combines a traditional shape with the strength and low-maintenance properties of aluminium. To achieve the required gate height without modifying the existing piers, aluminium gate posts were installed discreetly behind the brickwork. This preserved the original entrance character while giving full flexibility on gate sizing and design.

For automation, we specified Roger Technology gate operators, providing smooth and reliable daily performance. For access control, we installed the AES OPYN smart video intercom, allowing the homeowner to see visitors, speak with them, and open the gates remotely via a smartphone app. The system also integrates with Alexa, enabling voice-controlled gate operation when at home.

To reduce unnecessary gate openings and limit access to the property, we supplied and fitted a large black parcel box at the entrance – a practical addition for any household receiving regular deliveries.

The Installation

The electric aluminium gates were manufactured to size and finished to a high standard, delivering a clean, modern look with a classic swan top silhouette. The aluminium posts were positioned behind the brick piers, ensuring the gates reached the required height while maintaining a balanced, tidy appearance from the road.

The Roger Technology automation was fitted and calibrated for consistent, reliable operation, with all safety and control systems fully tested before handover. The AES OPYN intercom was configured for the client’s smartphone, with voice assistant integration set up and tested on site.

The parcel box was positioned at the entrance to allow easy access for delivery drivers, reducing the need for gate openings and improving overall site security.

Latest From Our Clients

  • James and Paul have done a wonderful job installing our two new sets of electric gates and secure fencing. We can’t rate Sussex Gate Services highly enough. They have a great work ethic and pay attention to detail and aesthetic. After-care is also good with the guys coming out twice to adjust the sensors and plug gaps in the fencing that the dog found and escaped through! We’ve even asked them to come back and quote for fencing in the rear garden. I would highly recommend this local company.
