Keep your automatic gates operating safely and efficiently with professional servicing from Procter Fencing & Security.
Our DHF-approved engineers carry out electric gate maintenance, repair and safety testing for schools, businesses, logistics depots and commercial properties.
With over 280 years of engineering heritage, we combine traditional reliability with modern compliance — ensuring your systems meet BS EN 12453 and UKCA standards.
Working across South Wales and throughout the UK, we provide planned maintenance contracts, responsive repairs, and upgrades for all gate types, even if we didn’t install them originally.
Our Electric Gate Maintenance Plans
Choose from three flexible packages based on your site’s usage and safety requirements:
Gold Plan: For high-traffic entrances (up to 45 cycles/day) – quarterly inspections and priority response.
Silver Plan: For medium-traffic sites (up to 30 cycles/day) – bi-annual inspections.
Bronze Plan: For low-use gates (up to 15 cycles/day) – annual or biennial servicing.
All plans include full documentation for compliance with BS EN 12453 and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Professional Electric Gate Maintenance
Routine servicing reduces downtime, prevents costly repairs and ensures legal compliance.
During each visit, our engineers check:
- Gate alignment and drive mechanism condition
- Motor and control panel performance
- Safety devices and photocells
- Force-testing and stop functions
- Warning signage and user controls
Every service includes a written report with recommendations and certification where required.
Safety Testing & Compliance
Under UK law, powered gates are classed as machines and must comply with UKCA marking and safety regulations.
Our team conducts detailed force testing and issues reports confirming your gates meet legal safety limits.
We also provide upgrades to existing installations to bring them up to current standards.

We repair all gate types — swing, sliding, bi-folding and cantilever — and carry a wide range of spare parts for major automation brands.
