A & R Fencing: Stoke-on-Trent’s Industrial and Domestic Fencing Specialists Since 1987

Most fencing companies fit garden panels. A & R Fencing does that too, but its real strength lies much further up the scale — bow top railings, palisade security fencing, sports court enclosures, automatic gates, CCTV systems, and bespoke steel fabrication for schools, factories, and supermarkets across the country. Established in 1987 in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, the family-run business has spent nearly four decades building genuine industrial-scale fencing and security capability, now operating from offices in Stoke, Crewe, and Derby.

Whether it’s a straightforward domestic garden fence or a full commercial security fencing and access control project, A & R Fencing offers a genuinely broad range that few local competitors can match.

About A & R Fencing

A & R Fencing is a family-run fencing business established in 1987 in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, with over 30 years of experience across the commercial and domestic fencing industry. Being based close to the M6 helps the business provide its fencing products and services not just across Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, and Cheshire, but across the wider UK.

The company describes its client base as built substantially on repeat business, with many customers returning time after time and referring the business on to friends, family, and other organisations including schools, shops, factories, and supermarkets. All products are sourced from what the company describes as only the best suppliers in the UK, with free quotations offered on any service, whatever the size of the job.

Genuinely Industrial-Scale Capability

What sets A & R Fencing apart from most fencing companies operating in the Stoke-on-Trent area is the sheer scale and technical range of its industrial product catalogue. This includes bow top and vertical bar railings, pedestrian guard railings, playspec railings for schools and play areas, customised and tubular fencing, security mesh systems, palisade fencing, automatic bollards, car barriers, acoustic and sound barriers, security turnstiles, cycle shelters, bespoke fabrication and welding, and CCTV systems — a genuinely comprehensive offering that goes well beyond typical garden fencing.

Services

Industrial and Security Fencing

A & R Fencing supplies and installs a wide range of industrial fencing and railings, including bow top, vertical bar, and pedestrian guard systems, alongside customised, tubular, and flexi rail fencing designed for commercial and institutional sites.

Sports and Playground Fencing

The business also supplies specialist sports court fencing, including Dulok sports court and rebound systems, sports rail fencing, and sports pitch fencing systems, alongside playspec railings designed specifically for school and play area environments.

Barriers, Bollards, and Turnstiles

For sites needing controlled access or vehicle management, A & R Fencing supplies automatic bollards, car barriers, acoustic and sound barriers, security turnstiles, and cycle shelters.

Automatic Gates

A & R Fencing supplies and installs automatic gates, including wooden gates, wrought iron and metal gates, and sliding gates, alongside parking barriers, retractable bollards, and ongoing gate servicing and maintenance contracts to keep automated systems running safely over the long term.

Domestic Fencing

Alongside its industrial and commercial work, A & R Fencing continues to serve residential customers with domestic fencing installation, bringing the same sourcing standards and trained installation teams to garden and property projects.

Bespoke Fabrication, Welding, and CCTV

For projects needing something beyond standard products, A & R Fencing offers bespoke fabrication and welding services, alongside CCTV system installation, giving commercial clients a genuinely joined-up approach to site security.

Safety First

Given the scale and nature of much of its work, A & R Fencing treats safety as a genuine priority and legal requirement, not just good practice. The company’s electricians are Part P qualified, and all engineers are fully trained to ensure automatic gates meet stringent safety standards and machinery directives, including the recommended use of mechanical sensitive edges, “magic eye” style safety sensors, and 24-volt supplies with proximity sensors and cut-offs where appropriate.

What Customers Say

A & R Fencing’s reviews reflect the range and scale of its work, with feedback across several platforms averaging in the mid-4 out of 5 range. Positive reviews frequently name individual team members: one customer praised a first-class job by Matt and Grant fitting a new fence with concrete posts and gravel boards, including the removal of a substantial amount of old concrete, describing the site as left clean and tidy throughout. Another customer specifically thanked Ian and the team for a great job and great service. Other reviews describe fast turnaround, good quality, and fair pricing. As with any business handling a high volume of varied commercial and domestic work, feedback isn’t universally positive — at least one review raised concerns about pricing and communication on a specific job — so it’s worth discussing scope and cost clearly upfront, as with any contractor, particularly for smaller or more unusual repair requests.
