They are in Cov, I wonder whether Nottingham is a little off their patch.

I am not sure.

If any use, we are in Stourbridge (DY7 post code) and visiting us has never been an issue.

Engineers (service) have been excellent.

I'm in nottm and still do one or two automations but i dont make gates anymore, although i know a very
good fabricater that will make the gates and i can do some of the on site fitting and all the automation.
If you need any advice feel free to call me, i dont charge for that. LOL
Nothing personal to the other guy but i would use someone local, as it's a long way to come and service them, or to do a repair.

Not used them myself, but have seen many of their installations.

Thought they had gone bust. Phone numbers not working and no reply to email when I tried. Though I have since decided to go for metal gates.

Blimey, their work was bloody good.
Shame if that's the case.

If you're going metal you could try Dave Mott - been around a long time.

If you want something nice and good customer service i wouldn't recommend you use Dave Mott.
Over the past few years a lot of the automation people have either folded or stpped doing them.
Which part of nottm are you ?

Really? Do tell.

I believe he's been going for well over 30 years, so must be doing something right.

I'm not going to elaborate on an open forum and just because he's been going for 30yrs doesn't automatically make him the person to use but if the op wishes to try him that's fine with me.

Any good suggestions guys? I did place an order with a company but they are struggling to do the job properly and I may have to sack them.
