Can you pay for electric gates monthly?
Yes. We offer 0% APR finance through Ideal4Finance, spread over 12 or 24 months. You pay a 50% deposit, and the balance is split into monthly payments that start once the gate is fitted. You apply online with a short form, and most people have a decision in minutes. Finance is subject to status.
It's not the only way to pay. Most of our customers pay in stages as the work goes along, on our standard payment terms. This guide explains both, so you can pick what suits you.
How does gate finance work?
- Get your price. Start with the instant quote, then we come out for a free site survey and send you a fixed written quote.
- Apply online. The application goes through Ideal4Finance on a short form. Most people have a decision in minutes.
- Pay the deposit. Once you're approved, the 50% deposit goes in and we start making your gate.
- Monthly payments. The rest is spread over 12 or 24 months, and the payments start once the gate is installed.
Ideal4Finance runs the application and makes the decision, not us. Finance is subject to status, and the representative APR is available on application.
What does 0% APR mean?
It means no interest is charged on the amount you borrow. Spread over 12 or 24 months, you pay back the balance after your deposit, not the balance plus interest.
Always read the agreement before you sign it, mind, so you know exactly what you're committing to.
How much deposit do I need?
50% of the price of the gate. It goes in once the finance is approved, and then we start building. The other 50% is what goes on the monthly plan.
12 months or 24 months?
At 0% APR, the difference is how fast you pay it off. Over 24 months the same balance is split into twice as many payments, so each one is about half the size of a 12-month plan.
| 12 months | 24 months | |
|---|---|---|
| APR | 0% | 0% |
| Deposit | 50% | 50% |
| Monthly payment | Higher | About half the 12-month figure |
| Paid off | In a year | In two years |
Which suits you is your call. We can't give you financial advice, but we're happy to explain how the plan works.
What's the other way to pay?
Our standard payment terms. You pay in stages, in step with the work being done, with no interest and no third party involved. The exact stage payments are set out in full in your written quote, so you have the figures in front of you before you commit to anything.
Plenty of people pay that way. Finance is there if you'd rather keep more money in the bank while the gate goes in.
How much will the gate cost?
Here are our starting prices for electric gates at a 3m opening, before you decide how to pay:
| Electric gate, 3m opening | From |
|---|---|
| Pair of swing gates | £6,610 |
| Sliding gate | £7,150 |
| Cantilever gate | £7,900 |
Manual gates cost less, from £3,200 for a 3m pair. Our guide to how much electric gates cost goes through what moves the price, and the electric gates page shows what we make.
What's included in the price?
Everything on your fixed written quote. Our prices include making the gate in our Leeds workshop, the finish and fitting by our own team, with VAT included. On an electric gate, the groundworks, ducting and power supply are done by our own team too, and the access control you pick is part of the same quote.
So the figure you finance is the whole job, not the gate with extras to follow. The number on the quote is the number you pay.
What if my finance application isn't approved?
Ideal4Finance makes that decision, not us, so we can't promise an outcome either way. If it isn't approved, you can still go ahead on our standard payment terms, paying in stages as the work is done. Nothing else about the job changes: same gate, same price, same team.
How long before the gate is fitted?
Most electric gate jobs take eight to twelve weeks from approved design to fitting. We make every gate in our workshop at Scholes, Leeds, and fit it with our own team. You get a clear install date when we quote, and on finance your monthly payments don't start until it's in.
