Wokingham bow top & vertical bar fencing: specification, programme and site access

Buying a bow top railing in RG40 is a procurement exercise, not a shopping decision. You need certificates before an induction, a specification you can put against competing tenders line by line, and a contractor who will not leave a boundary open overnight. We work to all three, and around Wokingham we plan specifically for nursery gardens needing self closing, self latching gates at adult reach height.

Page purpose

For compliance briefs, a generic regional specification would miss the local plot conditions.

Bow Top & Vertical Bar Fencing installed on a commercial site near Wokingham, RG40, showing the perimeter detail described on this page

What we record on the survey

  • Wokingham 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 RG40, RG41 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a bow top railing - the park and open space boundaries where the railing has to read as landscape rather than security 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 Wokingham

Can the bow top railing be installed while our Wokingham 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.
What local conditions change the specification around RG40?
Most often nursery gardens needing self closing, self latching gates at adult reach height. 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 Winnersh?
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 Wokingham?
£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.

Booking the site survey
