The work we do, and who we do it for
We have been making, fitting and looking after gates, barriers, bollards and access control since 2009, and we have installed over 500 systems in that time. This page sets out the kinds of work we take on, grouped by who it is for.
We are rebuilding this gallery. Photographs of finished work are being collected and will go up here as they come in, alongside proper write-ups of individual jobs. Rather than fill the page with stock photographs of somebody else's gates, we have left it as words until then. If you want to see work in progress, ask and we will show you what we are on.
Homes, sites and public estates
Work at people's homes
- New driveway gates. Timber clad, aluminium, steel and traditional wrought iron gates made to the opening, automated, with intercoms and keypads for visitors.
- Automation retrofits. Putting motors, controls and safety devices onto a gate that is already there and sound.
- Repairs and servicing on gates we did not install. The single most common reason a homeowner rings us.
- Garden, driveway and boundary railings. Made to fit the frontage rather than cut from a standard panel.
- Driveway posts and bollards. Telescopic, removable and rising, to stop other people using a private drive.
Work on commercial sites
- Vehicle gates on industrial and distribution sites. Cantilever and heavy duty sliding gates specified for the duty cycle rather than the picture.
- Car park barriers and road blockers, including height restriction barriers on undercrofts and managed car parks.
- Rising and fixed bollards on service yards, pedestrian zones and controlled entrances.
- Access control across a whole entrance, so gates, barriers and bollards run from one credential.
- Planned maintenance and reactive call-outs, on any make, across estates with twenty years of mixed equipment on them.
- Perimeter security fencing with the gates in the line made and automated by us.
Work on public estates
- Council and housing provider estates, planned and reactive, across mixed equipment.
- Schools, perimeter fencing with controlled pedestrian and vehicle gates.
- Compliance testing across an estate, with the readings recorded and reported rather than asserted.
