The origins of the company go back to the mid 1920's and the GB Griffiths building company.
In 1952, we identified the need for a specialist high security fencing contractor and GBG Fences was born.
We haven't looked back since.
Today, over 60 years on, the company is still owned and run by the Griffiths family. We also have many loyal and longstanding members of staff who are all very important to us. One family has over 80 years service with our company between them!
Design
GBG Fences have over 50 years of experience in innovating fencing products and systems. Our products include fences for major retailers where we have taken an initial design principle and made the product both aesthetically pleasing and secure whilst keeping within budget constraints.
Each of the products has a strong corporate image appropriate to the customer requirements.
Manufacture
The products are manufactured in house from raw steel sections in a quality controlled environment. Bespoke requirements are accommodated by talking through customer requirements and agreeing all aspects prior to manufacture.
Outside processes are carefully controlled by ensuring that all suppliers are able to continuously meet quality standards. These standards include not only the quality of the finished product but the ability to respond in a timely way even when a short delivery period is necessary.
Install
Installation is carried out by teams of directly employed and trained operatives under the control of an experienced contracts manager who is responsible for the contract from order to completion.
GBG Fences have been accredited by the BSI for installing fences since 1991 and are one of a very few contractors accredited by the Home Office.
Maintain
GBG operate a reactive maintenance service covering the whole of the UK. Standard products manufactured by ourselves are held in stock to give short response times where required.
Details of all sites are kept for a minimum of 7 years after installation and for the full life of the building in some instances to allow for reproducing the original detail as required. This greatly reduces the cost and delivery period for replacement items.
Survey
A site survey always reduces the risk of errors and is therefore greatly emphasised when talking through the project to ensure that the client is absolutely satisfied with the end product.
Gates are manufactured to suit the system and customer requirements.
