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

Facilities managers in Windlesham 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 trade and distribution units where an articulated delivery dictates the clear opening width.

Reading the site before pricing the run

  • Windlesham 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 GU20 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a commercial gate - the inherited automated gates with no logbook, force testing or Declaration of Conformity on file 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 Windlesham 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.

  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

Cover, certificates and guarantee

Workmanship on every Windlesham project is guaranteed and we return for snag visits within two weeks of completion if anything needs adjusting.

FAQs - Commercial Gates & Automation in Windlesham

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 Bagshot?
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 Windlesham?
£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 Windlesham 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 GU20?
Most often trade and distribution units where an articulated delivery dictates the clear opening width. We also record ground type, buried services, gate swept paths and whether the boundary is overlooked by existing camera coverage before fixing the specification.
