Langholm is in Eskdale, the Borders town north of Longtown, and it's well within our reach from Carlisle. We supply, automate, repair and service electric gates for homes and businesses across the area.
Gates around Langholm
The kind of work we do in and around Langholm:
- Farms and rural properties with long lanes, often fitted with GSM "call to open" control. See automating a five-bar gate
- Character properties with stone or brick piers, where underground motors keep things looking original
- Driveways on a slope, where sliding gates or swing gates on rising hinges are usually best
- Repairs and servicing on all the major brands, whoever fitted them
Langholm Electric Gates, Made to Measure
Homes and businesses in Langholm are an easy run from Carlisle, so automatic gates here get the same attention as a job on our own doorstep. We fit swing, sliding and bifold gates, automate existing ones and look after them for years afterwards.
Out on country lanes, the length of the cable run and how you want to open the gate (often by phone) shape the whole design. Older properties need a careful touch: we look closely at the pillars and the existing gates, and often hide the motors underground so the entrance keeps its character.
Every electric gate we install in Langholm is surveyed first, priced in writing and fitted by Adrian, who has 16 years of experience installing gates. We also cover nearby Longtown, Lockerbie and Gretna.
Automated Gates in Langholm: Safe, Tested and Warranted
Before anything is ordered, we check the width and slope of the entrance, the strength of the posts or pillars, and where the power will come from. That's what lets us choose the right gate and the right CAME motors for it. Over the border in Langholm, the same standards apply as on our English jobs.
Safety is built in: photocells and safety edges where they're needed, a force test to BS EN 12453 and a Declaration of Conformity at handover. As BIGAA members, we follow the safety regulations for electrical work and gate automation on every job.
New installations come with a 3-year parts and labour warranty, and we're here for servicing and repairs whenever you need us.

Questions people ask me
Do you fit and repair electric gates in Langholm?
Yes – throughout Langholm and the surrounding area, on all the major brands.
Can you automate a farm gate with no power nearby?
In many cases, yes. It depends how far away a supply is and how much the gate is used, so we'll look on site.
Can underground motors go on older gates and pillars in Langholm?
Frequently, as long as the gates are sound and the pillars are solid. We check both before we quote.
