Aluminium Gates in Wollaton
Wollaton, Bramcote and Aspley Lane properties tend to have the widest driveways we work on in Nottingham, which is why almost every job here is an automated double gate with intercom entry. Bigger openings need the right motor and the right leaf construction, not just a bigger gate.

Wide openings and the right motor
Above roughly 3m per leaf we specify underground or heavy ram motors and stiffen the leaf frame so it doesn't drop over time. Wind loading matters too — solid infills catch more wind than slatted ones, so on exposed Wollaton frontages we often reduce the infill density or upgrade the hinges.
Video intercom and app entry
Most Wollaton installs get a video intercom at the gate post with a handset or phone app, plus fobs for the household and a keypad for deliveries. We run the cabling, mount the pedestal and set the auto-close timing on handover.
Statement finishes
Larger frontages carry a bolder design: wide horizontal slats, laser-cut feature panels or a mixed infill with a solid lower section for privacy. All powder coated in any RAL colour or wood-effect finish, matched to the house.
Questions
Gates in Wollaton — Common Questions
What motor suits a wide Wollaton driveway gate?
Underground motors keep the hardware hidden and handle heavier leaves; ram motors are cheaper and easier to service. We recommend based on leaf width, weight, wind exposure and how often the gate cycles.
Will the gate still open in a power cut?
Yes. Every automated gate we fit includes a manual release key so you can push the leaves open by hand, and battery backup can be added.
Can I open the gate from my phone?
Yes. We fit GSM and app-based controllers alongside fobs and keypads, so you can let visitors in remotely.
