How long does a commercial gate take?

Allow 1 to 4 weeks including civils on a typical Woking property. Sloping plots, restricted access or larger formats add to that and we'll flag it on the quote.

Commercial gate installation across Woking and GU21

Buying a commercial gate in GU21 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 Woking we plan specifically for trade and distribution units where an articulated delivery dictates the clear opening width.

Site conditions that change the specification

Woking 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 GU21, GU22 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.

“Steven and team levelled our drive from landscaped crazy paving and got rid of truckload of stones and topsoil. We asked to put levelled sub base down ready for patio after finishing with building work. All work was done nicely and would have him back in the future.”

FAQs - Commercial Gates & Automation in Woking

What insurance do you carry for work in Woking?: £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 Woking 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 GU21?: 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.
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 Pyrford?: 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.
