“Your gate isn’t just the first thing people see—it’s your first line of defence. Choose a partner who understands security, design, and service. Choose Patron.”
Why The Right Installer Makes All The Difference
Choosing an experienced, professional gate installer means avoiding costly mistakes, ensuring compliance, and getting a gate that performs reliably for years. At Patron, we’ve seen the effects of poor installations—unreliable mechanisms, substandard safety, and unhappy customers.
A well-chosen partner ensures your installation delivers long-term value and peace of mind.
1. Proven Experience And Local Knowledge
Experience matters—but local knowledge is vital. You need an installer who understands Kent’s planning requirements, architecture, and client expectations.
We’ve successfully installed hundreds of electric gates for homes and businesses throughout Kent, tailored to suit everything from country estates to commercial loading bays.
2. Industry Certifications And Accreditations
Only work with installers who have the right certifications. Look for memberships with Gate Safe, DHF (Door & Hardware Federation), and other recognised authorities. These ensure the installer follows industry best practices and up-to-date safety guidance.
Our team holds all the necessary qualifications and follows the most current UK safety legislation for electric gate installation.
3. Bespoke Design Options
Off-the-shelf gates don’t suit every property. A good installer will offer custom solutions to match your layout, gate type, access needs, and personal style.
Whether you prefer sliding gates, swing systems, or integrated intercoms, we design to meet your needs, not force you to compromise.
4. Honest, Transparent Pricing
Beware of vague estimates or cheap quotes that hide extra costs. A trustworthy installer provides a full, itemised breakdown of all parts, labour, and ongoing maintenance.
Learn more about what affects pricing by visiting our guide on understanding the installation cost.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing—no surprises, just full transparency.
5. End-To-End Project Management
Electric gate installation includes groundwork, electrical components, access systems, and safety features. Make sure your installer can handle the full scope without outsourcing vital steps.
We manage the entire process—from the first design sketch to final handover and training. You stay informed throughout.

6. Reliable Aftercare And Maintenance
Electric gates require regular servicing to stay safe and functional. Choose an installer who offers reliable aftercare and understands the long-term servicing needs of your system.
We offer comprehensive maintenance packages, fast-response repairs, and ongoing support for years after installation.
7. Strong Reviews And Case Studies
Always check testimonials and previous work. Genuine feedback gives you an idea of what the company delivers and how it supports its customers after installation.
We’re proud of our reputation across Kent. Our clients trust us for our professionalism, quality workmanship, and excellent communication.
8. Emergency Call-Out Services
Gate failure can compromise your security, especially outside working hours. Make sure your installer offers 24/7 emergency support.
We’re available around the clock to help with unexpected breakdowns or issues, ensuring your property stays secure, day and night.
9. Full Compliance With UK Safety Standards
Electric gates must comply with EN12453 standards and UK safety regulations. Non-compliant gates can result in injury, fines, or even legal issues.
We make sure every gate we install is legally compliant and fitted with appropriate safety devices, risk assessments, and user training.
10. Training And User Handover
You should always be shown how to safely use and control your new gate system. From remote access to fault detection, proper handover is essential.
We guide you through every function and ensure you feel confident operating your gate from day one.
