Do you cover Frimley?

Yes - Frimley is inside our 30-mile coverage zone from Ash Vale and we work in GU16 every week.

How quickly can you quote a commercial gate in Frimley?

Most Frimley 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 Frimley 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 Frimley?

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 Surrey Heath Borough Council?

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

Commercial gate installation across Frimley and GU16

This page covers commercial gates & automation for commercial occupiers around Frimley and Frimley 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. Sites on a slope where a swing leaf would ground and a sliding gate becomes the only option is the recurring local variable.

Page purpose

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

What we record on the survey

Frimley 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 GU16 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 Frimley

Can the commercial gate be installed while our Frimley 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 GU16?: Most often sites on a slope where a swing leaf would ground and a sliding gate becomes the only option. 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 Frimley 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.
What insurance do you carry for work in Frimley?: £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

Most Frimley perimeters need one visit to establish ground, services and gate geometry, after which the specification and programme are fixed in writing. This applies to commercial gates & automation enquiries from Frimley and the surrounding GU16 commercial estates.

Get the specification in writing

A survey gives you a written specification, a programme and a fixed figure, all of which can be compared against other tenders. Mention Frimley and commercial gates & automation so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
