What Counts as an Emergency

• Gate stuck closed and you can't access the property by other means
• Gate stuck open and the property is exposed
• Gate hanging off its hinges or off its track
• Motor smoking, sparking, or making grinding noises
• Visible electrical damage after a storm or power surge
• Gate dropped after a vehicle impact
• Gate behaving erratically and won't respond to controls

If your gate is closed and you can park on the road or use a side gate, it's not technically an emergency — book a normal callout (£225+VAT) and save £45.

Common Maidstone Emergency Patterns

Riverside damp-driven board death

Allington, Maidstone East after wet weather: moisture finally shorts a control board that's been struggling for months. Same-day stabilisation, board replacement may need 24-48 hours.

Capacitor burnout on commuter gates

Tonbridge Road / M20 corridor: high-cycle households see capacitor failure once every 5-8 years. Easy same-day fix.

Arm-motor failure on rural farm gates

Boxley, Detling, Loose: arm motors that have been straining against moisture-heavy gates finally give up. Common parts in the van, usually fixable same-day.

Storm damage on Downs-edge properties

Detling, Boxley, ridge-side properties get hammered by easterlies. Warped gate leaves, sheared mounting bolts, water-damaged control boards.

Long-driveway remote-stops-working failures

Owner reports remote suddenly doesn't work — usually a receiver issue, not a remote, and it's been creeping in for months. Long-range receiver swap fixes it same-day.

How an Emergency Callout Works

1. Call 07542 024681 — describe the situation, send a photo if you can
2. We confirm an arrival window — usually 90-150 minutes from the call (Maidstone is the further end of our coverage)
3. Diagnose and stabilise on site — first priority is making the gate safe and the property secure
4. Repair if possible same-day — most emergencies fixed in one visit
5. Quote follow-up work — if a deeper repair is needed we quote before further work

If the gate can't be fully repaired in the visit, we'll secure it in a safe position and return with parts within 1-3 days.

Pricing

Parts charged separately at cost, always quoted before ordering.
