Electric Gates in Crawley
Electric gate installation automates a sliding or swing driveway or entrance gate using an electric motor, together with safety devices such as photocells or force-limiting edges and an access method such as a remote, keypad or intercom.
In Crawley, that covers Ifield, Three Bridges, Southgate, Furnace Green, Broadfield, Pound Hill, Maidenbower, Northgate, West Green, Langley Green, Tilgate, Gossops Green, Bewbush. Crawley combines postwar new-town neighbourhoods with older pockets around Ifield, Three Bridges and Southgate, and sits close to Gatwick Airport with strong transport links into London and along the M23. Housing stock ranges from 1950s–70s estate homes to Victorian terraces and more recent developments, which means project requirements vary considerably from one street to the next.

Property styles in Crawley
Crawley's housing mix includes postwar semis and terraces across the New Town neighbourhoods, Victorian and Edwardian houses around the older Ifield and Southgate areas, and newer estate housing on the town's edges. Many properties are well suited to rear or side-return extensions where garden depth allows, and loft conversions are common in the older stock.
Planning considerations
Crawley Borough Council is the local planning authority. Ifield village and parts of the old town centre fall within conservation areas, which affects permitted development rights and materials on visible elevations. Properties near Gatwick Airport may also be subject to safeguarding or noise-related planning considerations, which we check at feasibility stage.
