Yes - Shere is inside our 30-mile coverage zone from Ash Vale and we work in GU5 every week.

How quickly can you quote a security fence in Shere?

Most Shere enquiries get a free site visit within five working days and a written quote within a week of that visit.

How long does a security fence take?

Allow 3 working days to 3 weeks on a typical Shere property. Sloping plots, restricted access or larger formats add to that and we'll flag it on the quote.

Do I need permission from Guildford Borough Council?

For most security fence work, no - but anything affecting the public highway (dropped kerbs) or a conservation frontage goes through Guildford Borough Council. We'll tell you on the visit which forms apply.

Security Fencing for Shere sites that have to stay open

Facilities managers in Shere 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 car parks and retail service yards where the fence line has to keep vehicle access working throughout.

Page purpose

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

What we record on the survey

Shere 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 GU5 streets to know which ground conditions matter for a security fence - the industrial estates around Farnborough and Aldershot where 2.4m weld mesh is the accepted perimeter standard 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.

01
2.4m 358 anti-climb mesh perimeter around a plant hire yard with a cantilever sliding gate
02
Secure compound within a larger yard to separate high-value stock from general access
03
Replacing a cut-and-repaired chain link boundary on an industrial unit after repeat break-ins

Why a facilities manager can sign this off

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

FAQs - Security Fencing in Shere

Can the security fence be installed while our Shere 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 GU5?: Most often car parks and retail service yards where the fence line has to keep vehicle access working throughout. 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 security fence for a site near Holmbury St Mary?: Security fencing typically runs £95-£190 per metre fitted depending on height, mesh or palisade profile and toppings, with gates quoted separately from £1,800. 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 Shere?: £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 Shere perimeters need one visit to establish ground, services and gate geometry, after which the specification and programme are fixed in writing. This applies to security fencing enquiries from Shere and the surrounding GU5 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 Shere and security fencing so the enquiry reaches the commercial survey list.
