Security fencing for Swindon businesses
Swindon’s commercial estates, from the industrial units around Dorcan and Cheney Manor to the warehousing and logistics sites out towards Junction 15, need fencing that does more than mark a boundary. We fit steel palisade and welded mesh systems built to secure a site properly, whether that’s a single perimeter run, a full site enclosure, or access control tied in with gates and bollards.
Every job is quoted on site, not from a photo. Ground conditions, access for machinery and existing boundaries all affect the spec, so we’d rather see it in person than guess. We’re CHAS certified and fully insured, which tends to matter more to a facilities manager signing off a contract than it does to a homeowner, so we make a point of having the paperwork ready before it’s asked for.
School fencing across Swindon
Swindon Borough Council covers a large number of primary and secondary schools, and playground fencing has to meet RoSPA guidance whatever the budget. Our installers are DBS checked, which is non-negotiable for anyone working on a school site during term time, and we plan installations around the school day rather than the other way round.
We work to BS 1722 across the relevant fence types and can advise on heights by age group, gate self-closers, and anti-climb detailing where it’s needed. If a job needs to fit around a local authority framework or procurement process, we’ve done it before and know what’s expected.
Garden fencing for Swindon homes & New Developments
Ground across Swindon varies more than people expect. Old Town sits over a band of heavy clay that local geologists actually call Swindon Clay, while newer estates further out, Wichelstowe and Priory Vale among them, tend to sit on lighter, better-draining ground. Clay holds water through the winter and can work a post loose if it isn’t set deep enough or given proper drainage at the base, so we adjust post depth and fixing method to the ground we’re actually standing on, not a standard spec.
Closeboard remains the most popular choice for privacy and durability, cedar suits a lighter, more decorative garden, and picket still works well on the older terraced streets nearer the centre. We’re family run and have been trading since 2005, so we’ve fitted enough fences across Swindon to know which materials hold up and which don’t.
Do you cover all of Swindon, or just certain areas?
Yes, all of it, from Old Town out to the newer estates like Wichelstowe and Priory Vale. We’re based in Bampton, down the A420, so a site visit doesn’t add anything to the quote.
What fencing works best on Swindon's clay ground?
It depends where in Swindon you are. Old Town sits on heavier clay, so we set posts deeper and add drainage at the base to stop them working loose over winter. Ground further out tends to drain better and needs less done to it. We check the ground on site rather than quoting blind.
Can you fence a commercial or industrial site in Swindon?
Yes. We fit steel palisade and welded mesh for businesses across Swindon’s commercial estates, and we’re CHAS certified, so the paperwork’s ready if a landlord or insurer asks for it.
Are you set up to work on schools in Swindon?
Yes. Our installers are DBS checked and we work to RoSPA guidance on playground fencing, and we’re used to fitting jobs around the school day and Swindon Borough Council’s requirements.

Pittaway Fencing made a great job of my garden railings, very efficient.Posted on Google Lin Richards19 March 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed a new fence in our back garden and didn’t know of any local fencing companies so asked a couple of friends who recommended Pittaway. We phoned them and Mike came to look at our job. He emailed us a quote which we were happy with. He emailed us with a date and two guys turned up on the day. They dismantled our old fence and took it away, which was a big help, and fitted the new one with concrete posts and gravel boards. They did an excellent job and we kept them going with a couple of cups of coffee! We are extremely happy with the fence and would definitely recommend Pittaway.Posted on Google Ian Barrett26 February 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Pittaway Fencing replace a damaged fence with six closeboard panels using concrete posts and gravel boards. The cost was very competitive. The work was completed promptly as agreed and the team cleared away all the old fencing and left the site very tidy. Our neighbour and ourselves are really pleased with the new fence and would recommend this company to anyone requiring similar work.Posted on Google martin sellick22 February 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We own a medium size decorating company that has been successfully trading for over 25 years. We had the pleasure of being introduced to Pittaway fencing through a mutual friend in the trade as they required some painting carried out on one of their sites, since completing that site Pittaway fencing has now been using us for a number of years. They are great to work for and are one of if not the best payers we have. A fantastic company that I can’t recommend enough.
