ExploreAI Gate Visualiser — Our Signature Feature
See Your New Gate Before You Buy
Most gate companies ask you to commit before you can picture the result. Ellison works the other way round: upload a photo of your property, preview gate styles, materials and finishes on your own entrance, and arrive at your free site survey already knowing what you want.
Step 1
Upload Your Entrance
A clear photo of your driveway, gateway or boundary is all it takes.
Step 2
Explore the Options
Try gate types, materials, finishes and automation on your own property.
Step 3
Book Your Survey
We take your concept and engineer it into a full specification and quotation.

How we work
The Ellison engineering process
Nine controlled stages from first visit to final handover — the same engineering discipline on every project, from a private driveway to an industrial yard.
Stage 01
Site Survey
We measure the opening and assess ground conditions, power, drainage, access and safety on site — before anything is quoted.
Stage 02
Design Consultation
We agree gate type, material, finish, automation and access control around how the entrance is actually used.
Stage 03
CAD Design
Your gate is drawn to dimension before anything is cut — so what you approve is exactly what gets built.
Stage 04
Fabrication
Steel or aluminium is cut, folded and welded in our own workshop, with quality controlled under one roof.
Stage 05
Powder Coating
A durable architectural finish in your chosen colour, applied for long-term weather resistance.
Stage 06
Automation
Motors, controls, intercoms and access control are engineered into the system — not bolted on afterwards.
Stage 07
Installation
Our own team completes groundworks, posts, gates and equipment to the approved design.
Stage 08
Safety Testing
Force limitation, photocells and safety devices are tested and commissioned before the system goes into use.
Stage 09
Handover
You receive a working system, full documentation and a maintenance plan to keep it performing.
