Yes - Albury is inside our 30-mile coverage zone from Ash Vale and we work in GU5 every week.

How quickly can you quote a commercial gate in Albury?

Most Albury enquiries get a free site visit within five working days and a written quote within a week of that visit.

How long does a commercial gate take?

Allow 1 to 4 weeks including civils on a typical Albury property. Sloping plots, restricted access or larger formats add to that and we'll flag it on the quote.

What does a commercial gate cost in Albury?

Manual commercial gates start from £1,800 fitted, automated swing pairs run £4,500 to £9,000 and cantilever sliding gates £7,500 to £18,000 depending on span and access control.

Do I need permission from Guildford Borough Council?

For most commercial gate work, no - but anything affecting the public highway (dropped kerbs) or a conservation frontage goes through Guildford Borough Council. We'll tell you on the visit which forms apply.

Albury commercial gates & automation: specification, programme and site access

This page covers commercial gates & automation for commercial occupiers around Albury and Farley Green: yards, depots, substations, schools, car parks and industrial units. The survey establishes the risk, the swept path of your largest vehicle and the position of buried services, then the specification is written down before anyone quotes a rate. Trade and distribution units where an articulated delivery dictates the clear opening width is the recurring local variable.

Site conditions that change the specification

Albury 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 commercial gate - the sites on a slope where a swing leaf would ground and a sliding gate becomes the only option 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 - Commercial Gates & Automation in Albury

What insurance do you carry for work in Albury?: £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 commercial gate be installed while our Albury 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 GU5?: Most often trade and distribution units where an articulated delivery dictates the clear opening width. 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 commercial gate for a site near Farley Green?: Manual commercial gates start from £1,800 fitted, automated swing pairs run £4,500 to £9,000 and cantilever sliding gates £7,500 to £18,000 depending on span and access control. 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.

Next step for a Albury perimeter
