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

Buying a commercial gate in GU24 is a procurement exercise, not a shopping decision. You need certificates before an induction, a specification you can put against competing tenders line by line, and a contractor who will not leave a boundary open overnight. We work to all three, and around Pirbright we plan specifically for inherited automated gates with no logbook, force testing or Declaration of Conformity on file.

Perimeter risks specific to this area

  • Pirbright 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 GU24 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.

Evidence before mobilisation

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

FAQs - Commercial Gates & Automation in Pirbright

What local conditions change the specification around GU24?
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 Bisley?
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 Pirbright?
£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 Pirbright 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.

Turning a risk into a specification

If the driver is an insurance requirement or a planning condition, send the wording. The specification is written against that document rather than against a standard product sheet. This applies to commercial gates & automation enquiries from Pirbright and the surrounding GU24 commercial estates.

Talk to us before the tender closes

We can attend outside trading hours if a daytime visit is disruptive. Mention Pirbright and commercial gates & automation so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
