Why Regular Electric Gate Servicing Matters – Especially in East Sussex

If you own an electric gate system in East Sussex, regular servicing isn’t just a recommendation – it’s essential. Whether your gates protect a private home, a commercial site, or a rural property, keeping them well-maintained ensures reliability, security, and safety all year round.

At GA Technical Ltd, we specialise in electric gate servicing across East Sussex. Here's why it matters — and how we can help. Electric Gate Servicing Matters in East Sussex

The Importance of Servicing Your Electric Gates

Just like a car or boiler, electric gates require periodic maintenance to keep everything working smoothly. Over time, motors wear down, hinges rust, control panels become outdated, and safety sensors can misalign — especially with changing weather conditions along the Sussex coast.

Servicing your gates regularly helps to:

• Prevent breakdowns before they happen

• Extend the life of your automation system

• Improve safety for vehicles, pets, and pedestrians

• Ensure compliance with UK safety regulations (BS EN 12453)

• Save money on emergency repairs in the long run

Common Issues We Fix

In East Sussex, we often see electric gate systems affected by:

• Coastal corrosion (especially near Brighton & Hastings)

• Electrical faults from damp or storms

• Wear-and-tear from high usage or rural dust/dirt

• Damaged safety edges or faulty photocells

• Noisy or slow-moving gates

Our skilled engineers at GA Technical Ltd are trained to identify and resolve these issues before they lead to full system failure.

How Often Should Gates Be Serviced?

We recommend:

• Twice per year for gates in frequent use (e.g. commercial or apartment blocks)

• Annually for residential gates with moderate use

However, if you notice unusual noises, slower operation, or error messages, it’s best to book a check-up sooner.
