Commercial gate installation across Mayford and GU22

Mayford sites that trade through an installation need the programme designed first and the fence second. We phase runs in sections, use temporary heras where a length is open, take evening and weekend slots where daytime work would stop your operation, and keep vehicle access working throughout. The technical variable here is usually yards with a shallow frontage where a cantilever gate has nowhere to run back and a swing pair is the answer.

Reading the site before pricing the run

  • Mayford 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 GU22 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.

Scope for a Mayford site

  • Cantilever sliding gates where a ground track would foul drainage or be damaged by HGVs
  • Tracked sliding gates for wide openings with level, well drained hardstanding
  • Single and double swing leaves with underground or ram operators
  • Access control: keypads, fobs, intercoms, ANPR and integration with existing systems
  • Safety edges, photocells, force testing and a Declaration of Conformity on every automated gate
  • £5m public liability and £10m employers liability, plus planned maintenance visits

Three practical outcomes for this page

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

  1. 01

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

  2. 02

    Bringing an inherited automated gate up to standard with safety edges and force testing

  3. 03

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

Cover, certificates and guarantee

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

FAQs - Commercial Gates & Automation in Mayford

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 Worplesdon?
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 Mayford?
£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 Mayford 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 GU22?
Most often yards with a shallow frontage where a cantilever gate has nowhere to run back and a swing pair is the answer. We also record ground type, buried services, gate swept paths and whether the boundary is overlooked by existing camera coverage before fixing the specification.

What to send before we attend

Tell us the operating hours and the vehicles that use the entrance, and the programme is built around them from the start. This applies to commercial gates & automation enquiries from Mayford and the surrounding GU22 commercial estates.

Book a survey around your operating hours

Bring the constraints, including live services, term dates and delivery windows, and they get designed into the programme. Mention Mayford and commercial gates & automation so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
