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

Facilities managers in Grayshott 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.

Page purpose

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

Commercial Gates & Automation installed on a commercial site near Grayshott, GU26, showing the perimeter detail described on this page

What we record on the survey

  • Grayshott 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 GU26 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a commercial gate - the compounds needing fail secure behaviour overnight but a documented manual release for evacuation 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.

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

  2. 02

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

  3. 03

    Specifying fail secure overnight with a documented manual release for evacuation

Why a facilities manager can sign this off

Last year alone we worked across Grayshott and the neighbouring Hindhead / Headley side most weeks, with the same two-crew rotation supervising every job.

FAQs - Commercial Gates & Automation in Grayshott

Can the commercial gate be installed while our Grayshott 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 GU26?
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 Bramshott?
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 Grayshott?
£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 Grayshott 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 Grayshott and the surrounding GU26 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 Grayshott and commercial gates & automation so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
