Secure your home with bespoke sliding gates designed, fabricated, and installed in the UK.
At Howick Automation, we design and fabricate high-quality sliding gates for residential properties across the UK, delivering secure and reliable access solutions tailored to each home. Our gates are engineered to combine robust security with smooth, effortless operation, ensuring dependable performance in everyday use while enhancing the overall appearance of your property.
Every sliding gate is fully bespoke, allowing complete flexibility in size, style, and material to suit your driveway, entrance, and surrounding landscape. Whether you prefer a modern, low-maintenance aluminium design, a traditional timber finish, or a heavy-duty steel frame for added strength, each gate is carefully crafted to meet your exact requirements. From lightweight residential installations to more substantial perimeter solutions, we ensure every system is built for durability, functionality, and long-term value.
Sliding gates offer an elegant and highly practical alternative to traditional swing gates, particularly where space is limited. Operating on a smooth track or cantilever system, they glide effortlessly without requiring additional clearance, making them ideal for driveways on slopes, narrow entrances, or compact spaces. While space-efficient, they still provide a strong level of security and a clean, modern finish for residential properties.
Our sliding gates are available in a range of high-quality materials to suit different styles and performance requirements. Composite gates combine the natural appearance of timber with the strength of aluminium or steel, delivering a durable and attractive finish. Aluminium options are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and low-maintenance, making them ideal for modern homes.
For a more traditional look, timber gates offer timeless appeal using premium hardwoods, while steel frame designs provide maximum strength and are suitable for heavier infills and decorative panels.
Sliding gates are compatible with all standard residential access control systems, including intercoms, keypads, and remote controls. They are designed for durability and long-term performance, with materials that minimise maintenance requirements.
Available in both manual and fully automated configurations, they can be manufactured as single or double leaf systems depending on site requirements. Every gate is fully bespoke in size and design, ensuring a perfect fit for your property, with smooth and reliable operation as standard.
To enhance both appearance and performance, a range of optional extras is available. Finishes such as powder coating or timber staining can be applied to match your property’s aesthetic, while safety features including safety edges, warning systems, and emergency manual release mechanisms improve operational security.
Additional upgrades such as LED lighting and advanced safety devices can also be incorporated for automated systems, alongside decorative infills, laser-cut designs, or bespoke cladding for a fully customised finish.
All sliding gates are fabricated in-house and delivered fully assembled to minimise installation time and disruption on site. We offer both cast-in and bolt-down post options depending on site requirements, along with full integration of hydraulic or electromechanical operators. Every gate is thoroughly tested before leaving our factory to ensure smooth, safe, and dependable operation from the moment it is installed.
Our sliding gates can be integrated with a wide range of access control systems to suit different levels of security and convenience. These include remote control fobs for everyday use, proximity cards or token-based entry systems, keypad and key switch controls, as well as intercom and video entry systems for enhanced site management and visitor verification.
