Bespoke concrete formwork and foundations, advanced ducting for services, and integrated electrification for energy and infrastructure perimeters. Built and finished in-house.

A National Fencing Contractor Built on Long Relationships

Most of our fencing work comes through repeat relationships with main contractors, energy companies and public bodies. The same contracts managers tend to stay with those clients, so scope, standards and site knowledge carry over between projects. The quality of our concrete finishes and the security specification of our perimeter installations are well established with clients in the energy and infrastructure sectors.

Common Questions About Our Fencing Services

Are you NHSS 18A, 18B and 18C accredited?
Yes. We hold NHSS 2A and 2C for the supply, installation and repair of fencing on the strategic road network. We also hold NHSS 18A, 18B and 18C for landscaping and arboriculture. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 are certified across the business.
Do you cover the south of England?
Yes. Our Milton Keynes office covers the south and east of England, and our West Midlands office covers the Midlands. We have five regional offices in total, so we can deploy fencing teams nationally. The same contracts manager who prices the work normally stays with it through to delivery, wherever the site is.
Do you have your own specialist plant?
Yes. For fencing, we carry our own post-driving and auger equipment, and we complete engineered concrete formwork and foundation work in-house. On high-security installations, that includes bespoke formwork, ducting for services and integrated electrification. Across the wider business, we also operate specialist plant for difficult ground conditions, including Metrac mountain tractors, ultra-low ground pressure vehicles and amphibious equipment.
How do tender enquiries work?
Contact any of our five regional offices or use the enquiry form on our website. Tender enquiries are managed by our regional managers, who are generally the first point of contact for PQQs and pricing. Where possible, the same contracts manager who prices the work carries it through to delivery, so you are dealing with someone who knows the scope from the start.
Can you take on multiple high-security fencing projects at once?
We are selective about the high-security projects we commit to, so that every contract receives the management attention and specialist resource it needs. We would rather deliver two projects to a high standard than stretch across three and compromise on quality. If you have a programme of work, we are happy to discuss phasing and capacity early in the tender process.
