Commercial Electric Gates
SPS installs, automates and maintains commercial electric gates in Manchester and Stockport. From our Cheadle Hulme base, we help businesses, schools and managed estates control vehicle access at single sites and across the UK.
Electric gate installation, servicing and repairs
Install a new automatic gate
We survey the entrance and recommend a gate layout and controls based on vehicle traffic, pedestrian routes and how the site operates.
Automate or upgrade an existing gate
We review the gate, its condition and the existing controls. Then we explain whether it can be automated or upgraded and what needs replacing.
Service or repair an electric gate
Tell us about any faults or changes in how the gate operates. We can assess the existing system and discuss a repair or planned servicing.
Choose the right gate for your entrance
Tracked sliding gates
A gate runs along a ground track. We assess the entrance surface, drainage and the available space alongside the opening.
Cantilever sliding gates
The gate slides without a track across the entrance. The survey checks the side clearance and support needed for the installation.
Swing gates
One or two leaves swing open. We review the movement area, gradient and how vehicles and pedestrians approach.

How commercial electric gate installation works
Tell us about your entrance
Send the site postcode, a photo of the entrance and whether you need a new gate or help with an existing one.
Arrange a site survey
We review the layout, usage, ground conditions, power and how people and vehicles use the entrance.
Review your quote
We explain the proposed gate, controls, safety measures and any site preparation included in the work.
Install and hand over
We agree access and timings, test the system and show your team how to operate it and report faults.
Gate safety and access controls
SPS is a Gate Safe Aware Installer. We assess how vehicles, staff, visitors and pedestrians use the entrance, then discuss suitable controls and safety measures. See the HSE guidance on powered gate safety.
Commercial electric gate FAQs
Can you automate an existing manual gate?
Sometimes. We inspect the gate, posts, fixings, movement and layout first, then explain whether automation is suitable.
Can you service or repair a gate installed by another company?
We can assess it. Send the make and model if known, a description of the problem and any previous service records you have.
Can we use fobs or an intercom to open the gate?
Yes, where the equipment is compatible. We’ll review how staff, deliveries and visitors need to enter and agree the controls with you.
What affects the cost of commercial electric gates?
The size of the opening, gate type, groundworks, power, controls and safety equipment all affect the price. Photos and a survey help us scope the quote.
Where do you cover?
We cover Stockport, South Manchester, Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and can scope projects for organisations with sites across the UK.
