Commercial electric gates, barriers and access, kept working
Secure, reliable entrances for your site, and a team you can count on when they need attention. We install and look after vehicle gates, barriers, bollards and access control for facilities managers, managing agents, main contractors and developers across the Home Counties and London. We'll work on any make, and we write up every visit so you can show what was done and by whom.
Constructionline Gold. SSIP via Once For All. dhf. Same day emergency response.
How we help, whatever your role on the site
Facilities managers
You want the entrance working and safe, even on a site you didn't design. Our team will come out when it fails, work on whatever make is already there, and leave you a record of it. Every visit ends with a documented job report, we offer same day emergency response, and contract customers get a priority enquiry line rather than the general queue.
Managing agents
It's not just the gate you have to look after, it's being able to justify the gate. A multi-year maintenance agreement above the statutory threshold triggers a Section 20 consultation (the formal leaseholder consultation) under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, which makes placing one administratively expensive and makes leaseholder scrutiny a certainty. Clear scope, documented visits and credentials that can be checked stand up to that scrutiny better than a lower number does, so we write everything down for you. This is context on why documentation matters, not legal advice on your consultation.
Main contractors
You need a subcontractor you can bring on without a fuss: already pre-qualified, insured to the level your contract demands, and ready for an audit. We hold Constructionline Gold, registration 00322439, assessed against the Common Assessment Standard, and SSIP via Once For All, and we carry 8m pounds public liability and 8m pounds products liability. Our engineers are directly employed rather than subcontracted, which helps when you're the one accountable for who is on site.
Developers
We'll help you get the entrance right from the start: specified correctly, made to the drawing, installed to programme, and handed over with the paperwork so whoever takes on the building can look after it. We make the metalwork as well as fit it, with factory production control certified to BS EN 1090-1 and BS EN 1090-2 at EXC2 under certificate 2273-CPR-4271.

Constructionline Gold is worth a word of its own, because it saves you work. It rolls a verified health and safety assessment together with environmental, quality and equal opportunities checks, all assessed against the Common Assessment Standard. In practice it means a buyer running a framework can often bring us on board without a separate pre-qualification round.
What we do, and what it does for your site
Keep your gates compliant and working
Planned maintenance and reactive call-outs on any make, with same day emergency response.
Vehicle entrances that keep traffic moving
Gates chosen for how often they open and the wind they face, not just how they look.
Car park access and control
Rising arm barriers, road blockers and height restriction barriers.
Keep vehicles where they belong
Rising, telescopic, removable and fixed bollards.
Let the right people through easily
Intercoms, keypads, readers, fobs and turnstiles, on one credential across the site.
Perimeter security fencing
Mesh, 358, palisade and temporary fencing for live and industrial sites.
Boundary and estate railings
Frontage and estate railings, made to measure in our own workshop.
Know your gate is safe
Force testing, safety inspection, risk assessment and a written report.
If the entrance goes down, we'll get it moving again
- Same day emergency response where a gate, barrier or bollard is unsafe or blocking access.
- A priority enquiry line for customers on a maintenance contract.
- Any make, any age. We're happy to look after systems we didn't fit, not just our own installations.
- 100+ maintenance contracts and 500+ systems installed since 2009.
- A documented job report every visit, so the record is written down rather than remembered.
Request our PQQ pack
If you're pre-qualifying suppliers, running a framework, or need our documentation for a tender, just ask us for the pack rather than filling in the standard quote form. We'll send it back with our certificates, insurance, policies and references.
