Cost: powered driveway gate
Separate the gate, supports, drive, safeguards and electrical supply. Compare completed, commissioned and documented installations. A motor kit price is not the cost of converting an entrance; groundworks, wiring and reinstatement can be separate items.
Editorial update on 19 September 2026
Compare the same entrance
Align clear width, height, material, finish, opening type and retained components. Obtain alternatives based on the same survey. Different support and groundwork requirements prevent a universal swing-to-sliding surcharge.
Identify work outside the kit
Request separate foundations, removal, trenching, cables, connections, safeguards, backfilling and disposal. Define where the electrical work starts and who coordinates trades. Check paving reinstatement and spoil removal.
Allow for service
Separate commissioning, tests, remotes, intercom and connectivity. Identify recurring subscriptions, parts availability and proposed maintenance visits. Compare written warranty and care terms. A backup battery, manual release and emergency callout are different provisions.
