Bow Top & Vertical Bar Fencing in Shere for yards, depots and industrial units

Facilities managers in Shere rarely start with a fence type. They start with an insurance threshold, a programme date and a site that cannot close. We carry £5m public liability and £10m employers liability, issue RAMS before mobilisation, and phase the run so the perimeter is secure at the end of every working day. Locally, the detail we check first is housing schemes where a vertical bar line defines private plots without blocking natural surveillance.

Perimeter risks specific to this area

Shere is inside our 30-mile core area, so site visits are arranged within a week and project supervision is daily, not weekly.
We've spent enough time on GU5 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a bow top railing - the nursery gardens needing self closing, self latching gates at adult reach height that gets missed when a national firm quotes from a desk.
Quotes are written, fixed and broken down by stage, with the same crew on site from day one through to clean-down.

FAQs - Bow Top & Vertical Bar Fencing in Shere

What local conditions change the specification around GU5?: Most often housing schemes where a vertical bar line defines private plots without blocking natural surveillance. We also record ground type, buried services, gate swept paths and whether the boundary is overlooked by existing camera coverage before fixing the specification.
Do you provide a written specification we can tender against?: Yes. The quote states profile or section, height, post centres, foundation detail, toppings, gate hardware and programme, so a procurement team can compare it against other tenders line by line rather than on a headline figure.
What is the cost of a bow top railing for a site near Holmbury St Mary?: Bow top and vertical bar fencing typically runs £110 to £180 per metre fitted depending on height and finish, with self closing pedestrian gates from £950. Ground conditions and access on the individual site move that figure, which is why we survey before committing to a rate or a programme date.
What guarantee comes with a commercial install?: A written workmanship guarantee on every commercial installation, alongside the manufacturer cover on materials and any gate automation. It is issued at handover with the site walk round, not promised verbally.
What insurance do you carry for work in Shere?: £5m public liability and £10m employers liability. Certificates go out with task specific RAMS and CSCS records before mobilisation, which is normally what a facilities manager or principal contractor asks for before booking an induction.
Can the bow top railing be installed while our Shere site stays open?: Yes. We phase the run so no section is left open at the end of a day, keep vehicle and pedestrian routes working, and take out of hours slots where daytime work would interrupt trading. That approach is priced into the quote rather than added later.

Turning a risk into a specification

If the driver is an insurance requirement or a planning condition, send the wording. The specification is written against that document rather than against a standard product sheet. This applies to bow top & vertical bar fencing enquiries from Shere and the surrounding GU5 commercial estates.

Talk to us before the tender closes

We can attend outside trading hours if a daytime visit is disruptive. Mention Shere and bow top & vertical bar fencing so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
