School Fencing

School fencing has to do two jobs at once: keep children safely inside the site, and control who can get in from outside. We work with facilities teams and site managers to specify and install perimeter fencing and gates that meet both requirements.

Fencing built around safeguarding

A school boundary has two jobs: keep pupils safely on site and control who comes in. The fencing has to be strong enough to do that, tidy enough to suit a school environment, and installed without disrupting lessons. We work with headteachers, site managers and facilities teams across West London to specify and fit perimeter fencing and gates that meet those requirements, and we are used to doing it around a working timetable.

What we install

Perimeter fencing

Mesh or railing systems sized and specified for safeguarding requirements.

Access-controlled gates

Pedestrian and vehicle gates with locking and access control options.

Playground fencing

Lower-height fencing for internal zoning and play area boundaries.

Entrance and frontage railings

Powder-coated steel railings where a more welcoming appearance is wanted at the front of the site.

Safeguarding and access control

Perimeter fencing should be high enough, and designed without footholds, so it cannot easily be climbed. It should also have no gaps that a child could squeeze through. Gates need to be secure, but also practical for deliveries, staff and emergency access. We plan gate positions and locking with your site team so the school runs smoothly day to day, and where your school has a security review or safeguarding policy, we work to it.

Working on a live school site

We can schedule work around term time, INSET days or holiday periods, and our installers can provide DBS certification where a school's safeguarding policy requires it.

Timing

Noisy or disruptive stages can be booked for out-of-hours, INSET days or school holidays.

Separation

Work areas are clearly marked off from pupils, and delivery and working times are agreed with the site manager.

Phasing

A large boundary can be replaced in phases, so the site is never left open and the work is spread across budgets.

Tidiness

The site is cleared at the end of each working day.

Supporting your procurement

Schools often buy through a trust, local authority or facilities contractor. We can provide £2m public liability documentation, method statements, risk assessments and references from other school and commercial clients on request, to support quotes and tender paperwork.

What to include in an enquiry

  • The length of boundary and approximate height required.
  • Where gates are needed, and who needs to use them.
  • Any safeguarding, security or insurance requirements you have been given.
  • Whether existing fencing needs to be removed, and when work can take place.

See our commercial fencing page for how we run non-domestic jobs more generally.

Common questions

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most, before and after the work is done.

Can work be done during term time?

Yes, with scheduling agreed in advance to minimise disruption and maintain site safety.

Do you provide references from other schools?

Yes, available on request.

Can fencing be replaced in phases?

Yes. A larger boundary can be replaced in phases, which lets you plan the work around the school day and spread the cost across budgets.
