In plain terms
Gate access control manages who can drive or walk in through an automated gate — by intercom, fob, keypad, remote or number plate.
Most Greater London enquiries for this arrive after something went wrong — a break-in, a shared code that spread, or a door that was propped open for months. The system is the fix, but the survey is where it is decided properly.
Common Greater London use cases
Yards, depots, gated developments, farms, private drives and secure compounds.
- Warehouses and depots — vehicle gate control, personnel doors and turnstiles on the pedestrian route.
- Retail and hospitality — back-of-house control, cash-office restriction and CCTV-linked door events.
- Commercial premises — multi-door fob or card systems with access levels, time zones and a full audit trail.
- Blocks of flats — digital directory panels, per-flat handsets, resident fobs and a managed trades window.
What the price covers
- Free-exit loops or exit readers
- Underground ducting and armoured cabling where needed
- Intercom or video panel on a gate post with weatherproof housing
Avoiding the usual mistakes
- Plan the visitor path: couriers should not need to ring the house
- Powered gates are machinery — insist on a documented safety risk assessment
- Long driveways need the cable route planning before the gate is chosen
The process
We look at the doors before we price them. That means measuring cable runs properly, checking whether the frame will take a maglock, and confirming with your fire documentation which openings must fail safe. The quotation that follows is fixed. Every quote is itemised door by door, so you can see exactly what each opening costs before you commit.
After install the system is commissioned, the fire interface is tested against the alarm, your users are loaded and the documentation is handed over on the day rather than chased later.

Gate Access Control in Greater London — questions
Do you install gate access control in Greater London?
Yes. Greater London is part of our regular England coverage and gate access control is one of our core services. Give us the postcode and the number of doors when you enquire and we will confirm a survey slot.
What does gate access control cost in Greater London?
Pricing is driven by door count and hardware rather than county. As a guide, a single controlled door lands between £750 and £1,500 installed, with multi-door sites working out at £600 to £1,100 per door. The survey is free and the written quote is fixed.
Are automated gates covered by safety regulations?
Yes. A powered gate is machinery and must be risk-assessed, force-tested and fitted with appropriate safety devices. Any competent installer will produce that documentation as standard.
Can I open the gate from my phone?
Yes. App-based control and video calling to a mobile are standard on modern gate intercoms, provided there is a usable signal or network at the gate.
Can access control be linked to CCTV?
Yes, where both systems support a common integration. Every door event gets a matching video bookmark, so instead of scrubbing hours of footage you click the event and watch it. We check compatibility at survey before anything is ordered.
How much does access control installation cost in the UK?
A single controlled door with a reader, lock and controller typically costs between £750 and £1,500 installed. Multi-door systems usually work out between £600 and £1,100 per door, because the controller and software cost is shared across the doors. Door hardware, cable runs and any fire alarm interfacing move the figure most, which is why we survey before quoting rather than pricing blind.
How long does an access control system take to install?
A single door is normally half a day to a day. A typical 8 to 12 door commercial system takes two to four days on site, followed by a commissioning visit to load users, set access levels and hand over. Larger sites are phased so the building stays secure throughout.
