Before the visit

Questions to ask.

Bring together previous reports, the gate instructions and any changes in how the gate behaves. The service interval should suit the installation and its use; the directory does not set it.

  1. What inspection and maintenance does your visit include?
  2. How will you record defects and any work still needed?
  3. Are parts and additional testing included or quoted separately?
  4. How will you decide the next service date for this gate?

What a service looks at

A service is a planned inspection, not a repair visit. Ask what the engineer checks, what gets recorded and what happens if a defect is found.

The two published servicing intervals A twelve month scale. Gate Safe recommends servicing all automatic gates at least every six months, marked at six months. The Door and Hardware Federation gives an annual visit as a minimum baseline for domestic gates, marked at twelve months. Neither figure is set by legislation, and heavier use can mean a shorter interval than either. 024681012 Months since the last service DHF: annual minimum, domestic gates Gate Safe: at least every 6 months

The Door and Hardware Federation gives an annual visit as a minimum baseline for domestic gates. Gate Safe recommends servicing all automatic gates at least every six months. Heavier use, exposed sites and more safety devices can all mean a shorter interval than either. Agree yours with the engineer.

Source: GateHQ's servicing intervals guide, citing the DHF domestic owners leaflet dated 2017 and Gate Safe's advice dated 1 June 2026. Neither interval is set by legislation, and neither is a schedule for your gate.

Annual servicing was estimated at £150 to £750. Checkatrade, 16 May 2024. These are not current market rates, so ask for a current quote.
