Repair back fence and gate

I was confident hiring Gavin based on his profile and the knowledge that clearly shone through when talking with him. And I wasn't let down. He is straight to the point because unlike those who try to talk themselves up, Gavin really does know what he is talking about and doing. If you want a job done right the first time, hire Gavin! His type are rare to find these days. Based on my experience with him, he is more about offering quality service, than just earning a quick buck and he puts in the extra effort to ensure that quality service. There's none of this 'ripping the customer off; doing a dodgy job and running off with their money' that is too common in today's society.

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.

Repair/replace the pad bolts on 3 outdoor gates

$200

Camp Hill QLD, Australia

19th Apr 2026

I have 3 outdoor gates that all use sliding pad bolts to close/lock. The gates have moved over time and the bolts no longer lineup properly to close (at least without applying force). Two of the bolts are fixed to a steel frame, the other is directly in the timber door. The bolts all slide into concrete posts (see photos). Not sure if the bolts themselves just need to be moved slightly to line up with the hole again or if we need whole new pad bolts put on. I don’t have the correct tools to do myself. Will pay for any materials needed.

Highly recommend Tim! Great communication and got the job done quickly,

My automatic sliding gate is currently not opening or closing properly and needs repair. The issue appears to be with the gate latch/receiver and alignment near the brick pillar.
