What We Repair in Horsham

Motor Failures

The most common callout in the Horsham area. CAME and BFT motors are the dominant brands locally — CAME on newer installations, BFT on established properties around Mannings Heath and the rural parishes to the south. Our engineers carry common parts for both and can often complete the repair in a single visit.

Track and Hinge Misalignment

Horsham sits on heavy Wealden clay. This clay expands when wet and contracts when dry, shifting gate posts and misaligning tracks — a problem we see more in the Horsham area than almost anywhere else in our coverage zone. If your gate is dragging, grinding, or catching, the clay has probably moved your posts. Your engineer realigns the gate and assesses whether the post foundations need attention.

Photocell and Sensor Blockages

Rural Horsham properties tend to have mature hedging and tree cover close to the gate line. Photocell sensors get blocked by ivy, overhanging branches, and leaf build-up — especially in autumn. If your gate opens but won't close, or closes and immediately reopens, blocked sensors are the most likely cause.

Remote and Intercom Faults

Long driveways are common in the Horsham area — many are 15 metres or more. This can push the limits of remote signal range, especially with older transmitters. Your engineer tests and replaces remotes, reprograms keypads, and can upgrade to longer-range systems if needed.

Control Board Issues

Water ingress is a persistent problem on rural Horsham properties where control boxes are exposed to south-westerly rain. Your engineer inspects the board, checks for corrosion and loose connections, and replaces faulty components.

My gate post has shifted — is that normal?

Common in Horsham. The heavy Wealden clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, causing gate posts to move over time. This misaligns the gate and puts strain on the motor. your engineer can realign the gate and assess whether the posts need reinforcement.
