What does a gate installation service include?

You can get help with anything to do with gates, from gate selection and installation to repair and maintenance. Most gate installers are experienced with a range of fencing types, and can choose a gate to match your existing fence, or help install a fence alongside your gate.


Here are some of the most common types of gates and what you can expect with each service:


Automatic gates 


Need automatic gates or electric gates installed or repaired? These are a popular option for driveways, with everything securely locked away and you don’t even have to get out of your car to open or close it. Your technician will have experience with automatic gate openers, including how to set up access so that your gate can open smoothly via a buzzer, remote, keypad, or intercom. They’ll measure the area and recommend the best gate type to fit, with the most suitable opening methods (swinging or sliding). Your gate installer can order in your gate materials, before installing everything onsite and showing you how to operate your new gate.


Swinging gates 


Swinging gates are the most popular gate type because they’re simple to operate, with your gate suspended on a hinge, and held in place with a latch. Your gate installer will help recommend a gate style that will fit with your existing fence and other features, whether you need timber gates, aluminium gates, or even glass. They’ll order in the materials and assemble your gate onsite, ensuring its level and properly secured at the hinges. Finally, they’ll attach a latch at the correct height for easy opening and closing - with the option to padlock your gate for added security.


Sliding gates


Sliding gates are ideal for homes with limited space on either side of the gate, or for larger gates along driveways, where a swinging gate isn’t practical. Your gate installer will begin by measuring the area and recommending some suitable sliding gates to fit. They’ll order in the materials and begin by installing your footings and metal tracks for the gate to roll on. Next, they’ll put in place posts for your gate. Then they’ll insert wheels into the bottom of your gate and slide it onto the track and lock it into place. Sliding gates do need regular maintenance to ensure they’re clean and well lubricated, and you may need to book sliding gate repair if your gate stops working smoothly or gets damaged.


Pool gates


If you have a pool, you’ll need at least one or two gates for safe access to your pool area. Your pool gate installer will help you select a gate that matches your pool fence, whether glass or aluminium. They’ll install your gate between fence posts, ensuring it meets the regulations for your local area. Common regulations include self-closing and self-latching, latches at a minimum height, and only outwards-opening. If your pool gate doesn’t open or close properly, you’ll need to book pool gate repairs as soon as possible to ensure your pool is safe and compliant.

A licensed plumber to investigate recurring hot water issues

$220

Haymarket NSW, Australia

5th Oct 2025

I need a licensed plumber with experience in apartment buildings and hot water systems to investigate recurring hot water issues in my bathroom. Issue: In the bathroom (shower and sink only), water temperature suddenly surges to excessively hot even when the mixer is set at a normal range. Once this happens, adjusting the handle does not stabilise the temperature. At the same time, there is a distinct mechanical noise from above, like a valve snapping shut (not the usual “water hammer”). Kitchen hot water is not in use, but no irregularities noticed there. What I need checked: Inspect my tempering valve to confirm if it is working correctly. Assess whether the issue may be related to shared risers or building-level hot water components. Provide a clear written report of findings so I can raise this with building management if needed. Skills required: Licensed plumber Experience with hot water systems and tempering valves Familiarity with apartment building plumbing (shared risers/central hot water)

Child-proof/pet-proof existing garden gates x 2

$200

Daceyville NSW, Australia

30th Jun 2025

1) Have an existing timber slatted garden gate and the latch often does not catch at the top after shutting door and can swing open randomly. I need the gate to be either amended where it has a strong(er) spring that keeps it shut at all times and a new latch at the top or possibly completely replaced with a new child/pet proof version. I have a cat as well as small children that visit so gate cannot have spaces where either can get out. I need it to stay shut even when not locked. 2) I have another metal gate further down the side of the house and I have purchased a very fine black mesh outdoor sheet that I need fixed securely onto the entire metal gate. A timber piece may need to be fixed to block the gap at the bottom of the gate as a cat can easily slip out from under there too. Im flexible on budget as I know it will depend on whether the person appointed can make the existing timber gate work or whether a complete new one needs to be priced. Please advise how you would address this in your reply message.

Quick and efficient service. Good communication.
