When our client, Imran, recently added a new garage to his property, the existing entrance width restricted vehicle access.

Initial discussions between our surveyor Tom, Imran, and his builder centred on a 1-metre gate extension combined with a newly constructed brick wall. By reviewing the structural requirements and material costs, we identified that extending the gate frame itself by a full 2 metres, rather than introducing new masonry, provided a significantly more cost-effective and practical outcome.

Therefore, we manufactured a 2m steel extension, with a precision cut-out for the relocated running wheel, and a hot-dip galvanised finish for long-term corrosion resistance.

The expanded opening now comfortably accommodates parking for three vehicles.

Credit to our engineer Costa for an immaculate installation from start to finish. We received exceptional feedback from Imran, which highlights the value of building durable systems designed to evolve with a client's needs.

Long-term partnerships are built on trust, consistency, and showing up when it matters most.

Over the years, the PSL team has had the privilege of collaborating with the team at Bestway Wholesale across multiple locations, from delivering projects in Coventry and Birmingham to recently completing entranceway surveys for several upcoming sites.

Seeing feedback like this from a valued client means a lot to our entire team:
"Have used PSL for multiple projects over the years. Always very helpful and quick to resolve issues. Excellent for new installations too, big or small. Would definitely recommend."
— Vivek, Bestway

A big thank you to the team at Bestway for their continued trust and collaboration. We’re looking forward to seeing the new entranceway projects come to life!

New cantilever gate and pedestrian gate were recently installed at a farm owned by the City of London Corporation.
We completed this project on behalf of Square Mile Fire & Security, one of many successful projects we have delivered together.
The site previously had a tracked sliding gate, but the ground track was causing issues for cattle moving through the entrance.
To overcome this, we installed a cantilever gate, eliminating the need for a track while providing a reliable and low-maintenance solution.
The gate has been fully meshed and caged at the rear to prevent entrapment. It is fitted with safety edges to protect users during opening and closing, along with photocells to prevent the gate from closing on vehicles or obstructions.

Automation is provided by a DEA System Gulliver motor, which is more than capable of handling a gate of this size and weight.
A great installation by the team, with all groundworks completed by Jamie and Neil, and the electrical works carried out by Matt.

A single bolt holding up a heavy barrier arm under dynamic load isn't a repair, it’s a major liability waiting to happen.

Between years of quick-fix patches, cobwebs overtaking the pedestal, and severe structural fatigue, this unit was completely unfit for purpose. Regular, competent maintenance isn’t just about keeping traffic flowing; it’s about duty of care and site safety.

We immediately decommissioned the arm and recommended a complete system replacement. Watch this space for the completed work.

Managing parking areas or constant traffic into a site doesn’t have to be a headache, and getting the right solution doesn’t need to be complicated.

A few practical details make all the difference when picking the right setup:
🟡 Daily Traffic Demand: We would match the pedestal unit to your actual vehicle count. For busy commercial sites, specifying a barrier with a continuous-duty motor helps prevent premature wear and costly downtime. If you are allowing staff and visitors on and off site occasionally, a reliable lower cycle rate pedestal will be adequate.
🟡Non-Negotiable Safety: Proper protection is vital. Induction ground loops and dual safety photocells ensure the boom never comes down on a vehicle or pedestrian.
🟡Access Control Setup: Tailor entry to how your site actually runs. We install everything from simple keyfob or mobile dial, to code pads or automatic number plate recognition systems.

Feedback from the Highgate Church team is in!

We recently featured their sleek looking Black FAACUKLtdcar park barrier on our blog, and their B614 barrier is the supporting actor in our latest manual release video.

Hearing from the people using our barriers every day is what it is all about. Thanks for the glowing review guys.

Head to our blog to see how we tackled this project:

Here is the right way to safely manually release a FAAC barrier and lock it in the upright position.

Quick, simple, and saves your team from forcing the boom arm by hand. Grab your release key, follow along, and keep traffic moving smoothly during a power outage or during maintenance.

Throwback to a combined fencing installation and gate automation project at a local Synagogue we completed 5 years ago.

We recently caught up with the client to discuss another project, and they were kind enough to leave us some feedback on Google:
"Excellent Service From Start To Finish. The team was professional, friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. The quality of both the fencing installation and gate automation is A* and the finished result looks fantastic. Everything was completed on time, communication was excellent throughout and the attention to detail top! I would highly recommend this company. Very pleased with the outcome and very reliable company. A***** Service!"

A massive thank you to Yaniv and the community at the Synagogue for trusting the PSL team with your physical security upgrade. It was an absolute pleasure working with you to get this right.
Of course, reviews like this do not happen by accident. It is a direct result of having a brilliant team who know their trade inside out and take genuine pride in their workmanship. From the very first site survey to the final safety checks, our installers put in the graft to ensure everything is reliable, safe, and built to last. They make sure every gate runs smoothly and every single fence line is spot on.
Proper teamwork gets proper results. Cheers to the onsite crew who knocked this one out of the park.

Lee Valley Regional Park got back in touch recently to help sort out the entrance to one of their campsites. Having looked after their sites for years, they knew we would get down there, survey the setup, and get a solid solution in place.

The old setup relied on manual timber gates behind a barrier. Opening and shutting them by hand every day was taking up valuable staff time, and because they often got left open, anyone could wander in.

We cleared out the old timber setup and installed a robust automated vehicle gate alongside a matching pedestrian gate. Both are tied into a new Paxton access control system. Campers use a unique 4 digit code to get in, while an underground exit loop and push button handle quick, easy exits.

Under the hood, we powered the main gate with BFT A50 operators, secured it with a 500kg mag lock, and fitted a Locinox Mammoth closer to the pedestrian gate so it latches shut every single time. ASO 45mm safety edges keep the whole system fully safe and compliant.

A solid upgrade to the site that will keep things running smoothly right through the busy summer season.

If you run a commercial facility and want the same reliable support Lee Valley enjoys, give the customer service team a call on 020 8344 9667.
