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

This page covers commercial gates & automation for commercial occupiers around Fleet and Crookham Village: 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. Inherited automated gates with no logbook, force testing or Declaration of Conformity on file is the recurring local variable.

Site conditions that change the specification

  • Fleet 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 GU51, GU52 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.

Three practical outcomes for this page

Selected from the service brief and local property context rather than a generic location list.

  1. 01

    Replacing a dropped swing pair on a depot entrance with a properly braced frame

  2. 02

    Fitting a cantilever sliding gate where a ground track kept filling with grit and failing

  3. 03

    Widening a clear opening so articulated deliveries stop clipping the gate posts

Compliance and accountability

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

FAQs - Commercial Gates & Automation in Fleet

What insurance do you carry for work in Fleet?
£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 Fleet 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 GU51?
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 Crookham Village?
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 Fleet 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 Fleet and the surrounding GU51 commercial estates.

Request a site survey

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