How Windlesham Gates Delivered Multi-Property Access for a Grade II Listed Home
When installing electric gates at a luxury Grade II listed property in Surrey, Windlesham Gates needed to provide a flexible, multi-button intercom solution across two connected homes. The requirement was clear: both properties needed equal access to visitors, while maintaining independent control. A tailored intercom solution delivered exactly that.

The existing setup presented several challenges:
- Two connected properties required shared access to the same entrance
- Each property needed independent call handling and separation
- The system had to suit a high-end, listed property
- The homeowner wanted a simple, user-friendly way to manage access
Why this solution?
A multi-button intercom provided a practical way to manage access across both properties while keeping call routing separate.
Each residence could receive calls independently, giving occupants full control over visitor access without affecting the other property.
App-based management also allowed installers and end users to manage the system easily, adding flexibility and long-term usability.
Installation
Windlesham Gates installed a two-button intercom at the entrance, with each button assigned to a different property.
Calls were routed to the relevant occupants, allowing each household to manage access independently.
The system was configured to suit the layout of the property, ensuring both homes had equal and reliable access.
The Outcome
The finished installation delivered a clean, flexible solution that met the needs of both households.
- Independent call handling for each property
- Shared access to a single entrance without conflict
- Simple, intuitive system for daily use
- Suitable for high-end residential environments
