Car Parks and Entrances Across the City
Salisbury's established commercial area is Churchfields Industrial Estate, west of the centre, which dates from the 1960s and has a high proportion of trade counters and motor dealers. To the north, Sarum Business Park and Castlegate Business Park sit beside Old Sarum Airfield off the A345. The city centre adds offices, professional practices and schools, while the villages and estates around it have private drives and rural business sites.
Many of these places have the same problem: private parking in a city where parking is scarce. A barrier is a straightforward way to keep it for the people it belongs to.
For the full barrier service, see automatic barriers in Hampshire.

Roger Technology Barrier Systems
We install Roger Technology barriers. Their brushless motors are designed for frequent use and run smoothly and quietly, so they suit both busy business parks and quieter school or residential entrances.
The range covers different opening widths, with options including LED-lit arms and battery backup. A manual release lets the arm be raised in a power cut.

Planned Properly From the Start
At the survey we measure the entrance and look at how it's used: the number of vehicles, peak times, pedestrians, waiting space and the route out. From that we specify the boom length, barrier model, access method and the power, cabling and groundwork.
Every barrier has a safety loop so the arm won't close on a vehicle. Photocells, and where specified radar or laser detection, add protection where pedestrians are near. Traffic lights can be added where drivers need a signal. All installations follow a site-specific risk assessment, and we are Gate Safe Accredited.

Salisbury Barrier FAQs
Do you install barriers in Salisbury even though it's in Wiltshire?
Yes. Salisbury is within our working area, and we cover the city and the surrounding villages.
We have an office on a business park near Old Sarum. Can each business have its own access?
Yes. Each business can have its own fobs, codes or ANPR entries, and users can be managed separately.
Can you install a barrier at a school?
Yes. We plan the entrance around pedestrian safety, with loops, photocells and a separate pedestrian route wherever possible.
Can the barrier link to our existing intercom?
Often yes. We check your existing system at the survey.
How much does a barrier cost?
That depends on the barrier, access control and groundwork. We give a written quote after a free survey.
What happens in a power cut?
The arm can be released and raised by hand, and battery backup is available on many models.
