Excellent worker

Gate for then fence

$200

Neil is wonderful; I can't recommend him highly enough. He is lovely, so polite and respectful (cleans up after himself); he is also punctual and communicates readily. Some of the jobs I asked Neil to do were fiddly and he persisted until he got the cavity door sliding like a dream and the door catch smooth and easy to use. Will definitely use him again!

Small repairs: latch to back gate; cavity sliding door off runner etc

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.

Repairs to verandah balustrade, garden gate and path

$1,000

Tighes Hill NSW, Australia

Looking for someone to do the following repairs: BALUSTRADE - Replace two sections of bottom balustrade that have failed/collapsed. The sections are currently chocked up to keep in place but need to be removed and the white palings re-screwed at bottom with new rust-proof screws (the top of the palings are currently attached to the top rail with nails). I have purchased the pre-primed balustrade and painted three coats in matching Weathershield. The lengths will need to be cut to exact size and ends painted before installing. Waste/old material need to be taken away please. SIDE GATE - Rehang gate to original position so closer to side post where hinges are and lift so in line with fence level and attach new latch on right hand side (on inside of property neighbouring side). Moving to the left as originally positioned will allow the gate to close flush and the latch to be installed (as it was originally). Also, re-attach bottom panel (currently sitting next to gate inside property, see pic below). Latch is already purchased. SLEEPERS IN BRICK PATH - Replace rotted sleepers in pathway x 2 sections. One in step and one flush with pathway. Three sleepers have been delivered. Waste/old material need to be taken away please.
