What can a local security gates and bollard specialist help with?
Prevent vehicle theft, unwanted visitors, and driveway security risks by hiring a skilled security gates and bollard specialist to protect your residential or commercial property. Look out for local gate installers and security engineers who:
- Have expertise across a wide range of products, from wrought iron, timber, and contemporary aluminium gates to manual telescopic or fully automatic hydraulic bollards.
- Hold relevant safety accreditations (such as DHF Gate Safe or Gate Safe alignment) and electrical qualifications to ensure all automated installations comply with legal UK safety standards (BS EN 12453) and force-testing regulations.
- Have a verified track record of positive reviews from previous local homeowners praising their technical skill, punctuality, and tidy work practices.
- Offer the precise range of security services you require, including ground excavation, subterranean cabling, intercom and keypad integration, safety sensor alignment, or ongoing motor servicing.
- Provide transparent, upfront pricing with a clear breakdown of hardware, groundwork, installation labour, and post-installation warranties so you can plan your budget with total confidence.
A local security specialist understands the terrain and logistics of your area, meaning they can navigate tricky driveway gradients, account for local soil conditions, and recommend setups that satisfy council boundary guidelines.

How much does security gate and bollard installation cost?
The overall cost of installing security gates or bollards depends on the type of barrier chosen, whether automation is required, and the extent of ground excavation needed. A simple manual security post fitted into an existing paved driveway costs considerably less than a fully automated, subterranean hydraulic bollard system or bespoke electric swing gates requiring deep concrete footings and new electrical supply lines.
For standard residential installations:
- Manual telescopic driveway bollards: Typically range from £250 to £600 per bollard, including supply and professional installation.
- Automatic hydraulic bollards: Range from £1,200 to £3,000+ per unit due to subterranean drainage, power cabling, and control box integration.
- Manual driveway gates (timber or metal): Generally cost between £800 and £2,500 depending on material quality and size.
- Fully automated electric gates: Typically range from £3,000 to £8,000+ depending on whether you choose swing or sliding mechanisms, smart access controls, and safety sensors.

What factors should I consider when choosing a security gate and bollard specialist?
A properly executed security installation protects your driveway, prevents opportunistic vehicle crime, and gives your entire family peace of mind. Investing in professional installation eliminates the risk of striking underground gas or water pipes during digging, ensures electric motors are grounded safely, and guarantees heavy physical barriers operate smoothly without jamming. Additionally, hiring a registered specialist who provides safety compliance documentation ensures you are protected should you ever need to demonstrate safety compliance to insurers.
A security gates and bollard specialist can help you with:
- Systematically excavating, concreting, and setting sub-surface casings for telescopic bollard posts and underground gate motors.
- Installing high-security manual or automatic telescopic bollards designed to protect parked cars, caravans, and commercial vans.
- Designing and hanging custom swing or space-saving sliding gates tailored to your boundary dimensions and aesthetic preferences.
- Integrating smart access control systems, including keypad entry, wireless audio/video intercoms, key fobs, and mobile app controls.
- Fitting essential automated safety equipment, such as infrared photocell beams, safety edges, and emergency manual release keys.
- Servicing, re-aligning, and repairing existing automated gate motors, hydraulic systems, and rusted hinge points.
Professional security installers don't just drop barriers into place; they evaluate drainage needs, test force limits, and configure safety electronics so your entryways operate safely around children, pets, and vehicles.
Ensuring your home perimeter is secure is vital for a stress-free home life. Whether you need a simple manual parking post or a complete, automated electric gate setup, a local security specialist can get it sorted safely.

Other security gates and bollard FAQs
Do I need planning permission to install security gates or bollards?
In most UK homes, installing bollards or security gates falls under Permitted Development. However, planning permission is required if your gate or fence exceeds 1 metre in height adjacent to a public highway or footpath, or 2 metres elsewhere on your boundary. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas also have stricter rules and usually require planning approval.
What is the difference between swing gates and sliding gates?
Swing gates open inward or outward on hinges, making them ideal for flat driveways with plenty of internal space. Sliding gates move laterally along a track or cantilever rail, making them the perfect choice for short driveways, steep inclines, or properties with limited space behind the entrance.
Are electric gates safe for families and pets?
Yes, provided they are fitted by a qualified specialist following UK safety regulations. Electric gates are classed as machinery and must legally feature safety equipment—such as infrared photocell sensors, obstacle detection, and soft rubber safety edges—to automatically stop and reverse if a person, pet, or vehicle crosses their path.

HEX360 was founded in 2015 by Craig Lewis with the solid foundation that a degree in construction management provides. Before launching HEX360, Craig’s former life saw him working at Princess Yachts, where he founded his skills and acquired his particular attention to detail – but if you’ve reached this page, you probably aren’t interested in hearing Craig’s life story… you’re really interested in finding out what makes HEX360 different to all the other construction companies out there. So read on and discover our difference. Working with most construction companies can feel a bit like finding your way in the dark – you just don’t know where to go to get the information you need. The stereotypical construction company that makes matters so confusing and complicated that everything they say goes over your head is, unfortunately, not just a myth. They’re out there, and they’re confusing clients as we speak. So, it’s no wonder that so many people put off their project or come to a grinding halt partway through – after all, it can all feel just too overwhelming. Luckily, HEX360 is here to change your perceptions and prove that not all construction companies are the same. We’re dedicated to working with you, not for you, and that means taking a collaborative approach right from the get-go. With our 8-step process, we’ll clearly outline every stage of your project so you won’t feel overwhelmed, and thanks to our use of in-house project management software, you’ll have complete transparency for every aspect of your project. We are committed to flexibility, accessibility, and approachability so your project can run smoothly, whether you’re updating your kitchen, renovating or extending your entire home or developing a large commercial property. You’re more than a number on a spreadsheet to us, and we never bite off more than we can chew. Our attention and efforts are solely dedicated towards you and your project during your time with us. Unlike with some construction companies, once we begin work on your project we don’t simply move on to our next. We provide industry leading account management during the full life cycle of the project, meaning you aren’t forgotten about once you sign on the dotted line.
