How we work
The Ellison engineering process
Nine controlled stages from first visit to final handover, the same engineering discipline on every project, from a private driveway to an industrial yard.
Stage 01
Site Survey
We measure the opening and assess ground conditions, power, drainage, access and safety on site, before anything is quoted.
Stage 02
Design Consultation
We agree gate type, material, finish, automation and access control around how the entrance is actually used.
Stage 03
CAD Design
Your gate is drawn to dimension before anything is cut, so what you approve is exactly what gets built.
Stage 04
Fabrication
Steel or aluminium is cut, folded and welded in our own workshop, with quality controlled under one roof.
Stage 05
Powder Coating
A durable architectural finish in your chosen colour, applied for long-term weather resistance.
Stage 06
Automation
Motors, controls, intercoms and access control are engineered into the system, not bolted on afterwards.
Stage 07
Installation
Our own team completes groundworks, posts, gates and equipment to the approved design.
Stage 08
Safety Testing
Force limitation, photocells and safety devices are tested and commissioned before the system goes into use.
Stage 09
Handover
You receive a working system, full documentation and a maintenance plan to keep it performing.

What customers say
Five stars, every review
Nine reviews on Google. Every one of them five stars.
★★★★★Had a new back and front gate fitted. Brilliant friendly service, great price, would highly recommend.
Google review · New gates fitted
★★★★★Gate was stuck and we could not get one of our vehicles out. Turned up on time, put the gate back in a serviceable condition and were clear and friendly about all they were doing. Not even bothered by our two huge dogs. Thanks guys.
Google review · Gate repair
★★★★★These guys took my old gates away, repaired them, recoated them and re-hung them. They look like new gates now. So happy with the work carried out, would highly recommend them.

The automation we fit
Only the best motors: Benincà, Nice and BFT
Every gate we automate is fitted with a Benincà, Nice or BFT motor and control system. They are the three makes the industry trusts, they are built to last, and each comes with a proper manufacturer warranty: 30 months on Benincà, three years on Nice and BFT, and BFT extend it to five years with an annual service.
Plenty of firms fit cheaper unbranded imports to win the job on price. We do not. We would rather fit the right kit once, with a warranty that means something, than cut corners you pay for later. Quality over margin, every time.
