RG12 commercial perimeter · Berkshire

Commercial Gates & Automation in Bracknell for yards, depots and industrial units

Facilities managers in Bracknell 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 inherited automated gates with no logbook, force testing or Declaration of Conformity on file.

Site conditions that change the specification

  • Bracknell 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 RG12, RG42 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a commercial gate - the trade and distribution units where an articulated delivery dictates the clear opening width 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.

    Specifying fail secure overnight with a documented manual release for evacuation

  3. 03

    Integrating a new gate controller with the existing site intercom and fob system

Compliance and accountability

We're insured to £5m public liability, registered for waste carriage, and every Bracknell job is signed off in person rather than from photos.

I chose this company for a small block paved driveway job because of the positive reviews. The job was done efficiently in October 2020 but 6 months later it started to sink and now there is a puddle after rain in the middle of my driveway. I contacted Steve and sent photos with the warranty document. Steve came over once and left his business card. Steve promised to fix it by the end of October 2021 but this didn't happen.

FAQs - Commercial Gates & Automation in Bracknell

What insurance do you carry for work in Bracknell?
£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 Bracknell 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 RG12?
Most often inherited automated gates with no logbook, force testing or Declaration of Conformity on file. 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 Crowthorne?
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 Bracknell perimeter

Send a site plan or a boundary photo and we will confirm what has to be surveyed before a rate is meaningful. This applies to commercial gates & automation enquiries from Bracknell and the surrounding RG12 commercial estates.

Request a site survey

Insurance certificates and RAMS are issued before we attend, so the induction can be booked in parallel. Mention Bracknell and commercial gates & automation so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
