Preventative Maintenance

Ideal Fencing and Gates preventative maintenance

All commercial and industrial grade automatic and manual gates benefits from regular programmed maintenance. Ideal Fencing and Gates will inspect all of gates and provide recommended preventative maintenance services.

Our trained staff will formulate a tailored programme to suit your business activities and the operational requirements of your gates. Our service technicians follow a rigorous inspection and service procedure and if the technicians recommend any major remedial works, these are recorded in a Customer Service Report. Major repairs can then be scheduled in for both cost-effectiveness and convenience.

Regular inspections of your working environment will ensure that you don’t get any unexpected surprises relating to major breakdowns or capital outlays. Unfortunately, acts of vandalism and extreme weather events can cause unexpected damage, but our 24/7 emergency repair service team can fix any damaged gates quickly.

To arrange a site visit from one of our senior technicians, please contact our Service Centre.

Why planned regular maintenance is necessary:

Legal requirement and risk mitigation – failure to properly maintain your gates makes you liable in the case of injury, death, or property damage.

Safety device compliance – safety components are required to be re-certified every 6 months.

Prolongs the optimal operating life of gates.

Prevent catastrophic failure – in almost all cases of serious injury to people involving automated gates a lack of maintenance has been a contributing factor.

Longevity of the system – just like cars need regular servicing, gates do too.
