Hello, I'm Adrian
Adrian heads up the installation work at AutoGate Carlisle and has been fitting electric gates for 16 years. Swing, sliding and bifold; new gates and old gates converted; city driveways, Eden Valley farmyards and business entrances across Cumbria and Dumfries and Galloway.
The aim never changes: a gate that opens and closes properly every single day, year after year. That comes from getting the job right the first time.
The Team Behind Automatic Gates in Carlisle
AutoGate Carlisle is a local firm, not a franchise or a call centre. When you ring about automatic gates, you speak to Adrian – the same person who'll survey your entrance, fit the gates and set up the motors.
That continuity matters. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson and an installer, and you always know who's responsible for your gate. It's also why so much of our work comes from recommendations around Carlisle and north Cumbria.
Sixteen Years of Gate Automation Experience
In 16 years Adrian has worked on just about every kind of electric gate: heavy wrought iron on country houses, timber gates on farm lanes, aluminium sliders on new estates and busy commercial entrances.
That experience shows in the details – choosing the right motor for the gate's weight, planning cable runs that won't flood, and setting forces so the gate is safe as well as smooth. It's the difference between a gate that lasts and one that keeps breaking down.
Members of BIGAA
AutoGate Carlisle is a member of BIGAA – the British and Irish Gate and Access Association. BIGAA pushes for safe installation, helps buyers recognise a good job, and steers people away from cheap kits and cowboy fitters.
Powered gates have caused serious injuries in the UK and Ireland, and far too many are still put in without proper safety devices or testing. On our jobs you get:
- the safety devices each gate needs – photocells, safety edges and more where required
- force testing to BS EN 12453
- electrical work to BS 7671
- a proper handover with a Declaration of Conformity and the manuals
