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, it's not technically an emergency — book a normal callout (£225+VAT) and save £45.

Common Reigate Emergency Patterns

Capacitor burnout on commuter gates

The most common Reigate emergency. High-cycle commuter use ages capacitors fast. Symptoms: motor hums but won't move, gate stops mid-cycle. Easy same-day fix with a £20 part.

Sudden alignment failure on slopes

Cockshot Hill, Reigate Hill, Park Lane: the gate's been getting tighter and tighter to close, and one day it stops moving altogether. Limit switches need recalibrating, sometimes hinges need adjusting. Same-day fixable.

M25-zone fastener failure

A motor mounting plate that's been gradually loosening for months finally separates. Gate stops or starts swinging unpredictably. We re-fix and recalibrate on site.

FAAC and premium board failures

Park Lane / Warren Road properties: when a premium board fails, parts may not be in our van. We stabilise the gate same-day and return within 24-48 hours with the part. The premium-brand failures are rarer but more disruptive when they happen.

Storm damage on the ridge

Reigate Hill is exposed to easterlies. Gate leaves catch wind, motor housings take water ingress. We see this most after winter storms.

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 90-120 minutes from the call
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, common parts carried in the van
5. Quote follow-up work — if a deeper repair is needed (motor replacement, premium-brand boards) we quote before any 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. We carry common spares so most emergencies need no extra parts call-out.
