Lymington's Car Parks Are in Demand
Lymington draws visitors all year. There's the high street and quay, two large marinas and their boatyards on the river, the ferry, and the New Forest on the doorstep. With so many people looking for somewhere to park, private car parks at hotels, apartment developments, offices and waterside businesses are used by people who shouldn't be there, especially in summer.
A barrier keeps private parking for residents, guests, berth holders or staff. Because many Lymington sites are residential, historic or close to the water, appearance, noise and coastal conditions matter as much as function.
For our full barrier service, see automatic barriers Hampshire.

A Barrier That Suits the Surroundings
On residential and hospitality sites, the barrier is part of the first impression. We think about where the cabinet sits, how the arm looks when it's raised, how reader and intercom posts are positioned, and how quietly it operates.
Near the water, salt air and wind affect the specification. We consider the finish, how cable entries are sealed and whether a long arm needs support. If your site has planning conditions or is in a conservation area, it's worth checking with the planning authority before work starts.

Lymington Barrier FAQs
Our hotel car park fills with non-guests in summer. Can a barrier fix that?
Yes. Guests can be given a code or let in via an intercom to reception, and staff can use fobs. The car park stays available for the people it's meant for.
We manage an apartment development near the water. Will a barrier cope with the salt air?
With the right specification, positioning and maintenance, yes. We consider finishes and sealing for sites close to the water.
Can berth holders and contractors have different access?
Yes. Berth holders can use fobs or ANPR, contractors can have keypad codes, and visitors can call on an intercom.
Are the barriers noisy?
Roger's brushless barriers run smoothly and quietly, which suits residential and hotel sites.
Do you cover the New Forest villages?
Yes, including Pennington, Milford on Sea, Boldre, Brockenhurst, Sway and New Milton.
What does it cost?
