Services · East London & Eastern Cape
Sliding and swing gate motors installed, repaired and brought back to life: batteries, control boards, remotes and safety beams, from a registered electrician.
Overview
Elite Home Finishes install and repair sliding and swing gate motors for homes, complexes and businesses across East London and the surrounding areas. Whether the gate has stopped opening, the battery no longer lasts through load-shedding, the remotes have stopped working, or you want a motor fitted to a gate you already have, we test the system, find the actual fault and fix it, instead of replacing parts to see what works.
01
A new gate motor starts with the gate. We check that the gate is straight, runs freely and is light enough for the motor you choose, because a stiff or heavy gate is the most common reason a motor fails early. For a sliding gate we check the track, rollers and rack; for a swing gate we check the hinges, the posts and the arms. Then we size the motor to the real weight and use, mount it, fit the safety beams and set the travel so the gate stops cleanly at both ends.
02
Most repair call-outs come down to a short list: a flat battery, a failed control board, a worn gear or rack, misaligned safety beams, or remotes that need programming. We test the power supply, the battery, the board, the limits and the beams one after another and tell you what we found before any part is replaced. A battery or a remote is a small job; a control board or a new motor costs more, and we show you the difference on the quote.
03
A gate motor is only as good as the gate and the power behind it. Our team builds and repairs steel gates and fences as well, and our electrician runs the power to the motor, so one team can take a perimeter job from the gate to the electric fence and the wiring, instead of three different contractors passing the blame.

Our Approach
We test the battery, board, limits and beams one after another, so you pay for the actual fault and not for a motor you did not need.
Our electrician runs the power to the motor, so the wiring is done properly.
One team can repair or build the gate and the electric fence that go with the motor, and quote it as a single job.
Your Options
Motors that drive a gate along a track on a rack, fitted to new gates or ones you already have.
Arm or underground motors for single and double swing gates, matched to the weight and post strength.
New batteries and backup units so the gate still opens when the power is off.
Extra remotes, keypads and receivers, plus safety beams aligned so the gate stops before it hits anything.
How We Work
Message us the make if you know it, what the gate does, and whether the power or the battery has been off.
We test the power, battery, board, limits, beams and the gate itself, and find the actual fault.
Parts and labour listed separately, so you can see what a battery, a board or a motor adds.
Travel and beams set, remotes programmed, and the gate run through a full cycle before we leave.

Common Questions
The usual causes are a flat or failed battery, a faulty control board, misaligned safety beams, a worn gear or rack, or a gate that has become stiff. Testing the power, battery, board, limits and beams in turn finds the fault.
It depends on the fault. A battery or a remote is a small job; a control board or a new motor costs more. We test first and give you an itemised quote with parts and labour separated, and we do not quote repairs blind over the phone.
The price depends on the gate's size, weight and condition, the type of motor, and whether the battery, beams and remotes are included. We look at the gate first, then give you a fixed, itemised quote, so you see what each part costs before you decide.
In most cases yes. We check that the gate is straight, runs freely and is light enough, repair the track or hinges if needed, and then size the motor to the real weight.
It depends on the battery, the motor and how often the power goes off. A battery that no longer keeps the gate working through load-shedding needs replacing, and we test it at every call-out.
Yes. We build and repair steel gates and install and repair electric fences, so one team can look after the gate, the motor and the fence together.
