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.

Investigate gas plumbing issue

$150

Ebbw Vale QLD, Australia

28th Apr 2025

Hey all, Am looking for a gas plumber to come out and have a look at issues we appear to be having with our gas lines into the house. When the gas went out while boiling potatoes last week I went out and flicked the switch from the right bottle to the left and opened the left bottle all the way, now when we turn on the stove the pressure of the gas is so weak it snuffs out completely. The bottle on the right (red) is empty. The bottle on the left (green) is full. Since this is a hardwired gas system that is clearly not functioning the way it should, I’m not feeling very confident or safe to twiddle with these fittings myself as a professional does this when they replace the bottles, they don’t just deliver and make us change them as the fittings require tools as well. We have lodged a request with the real estate but this has been skirted around so we will have to bear the invoice ourselves I guess. Thankyou !

Need a timber fence Installed & side gate along side of house

$5

One Mile QLD 4305, Australia

4th Apr 2025

We would like a pine fence installed along the side of our house. There is an existing 4ft fence up that side but we only want the pine fence on our side of the yard so the existing fence does not need to be removed. I think the length is about 50mtrs & we would also like a gate to be attached between the newly installed fence & the side of our house for side access. There is a concrete strip along the side of the yard and existing fence so please let me know if you can do a no-dig style fence or if the concrete will have to be removed & how much that will also cost. We would like the fence to be as tall as legally possible which I think is about 1.8m. Would also be interested in discussing a front fence with gate.

Our gate has disconnected from the fence/post and needs to be reattached. Appears the existing post was never contested in & was just attached to the bordering fence.

I work from home most days, so can be available nearly any day/time. Thanks!
