Our Mission Statement
Provide high quality products from stock, on time, in full, with zero defects
Our range of fencing systems, combined with market-leading technical support services, enable us to deliver fencing and security solutions you can rely on.
In a market where lead times are paramount we hold high levels of stock on most of our products, which helps to give our customers an advantage over their competition. On all stock items we offer a delivery service to any given site within three working days, and guarantee a high level of personal service, from quotation through to delivery. We open for business at 7.00am Monday to Friday, giving our customers the chance to get ahead of the rush.
We realise that no two projects are the same, so while popular items are kept in stock, we’re also on hand with invaluable technical assistance, whether you’re looking for something special, or simply need help with a particular specification. From start to finish our staff are able to provide you with everything you need, especially the extra special touches that help you win tendered business.
We work hard to ensure that when you choose Alexandra, there are no shocks or surprises, and that the finished item we deliver looks and functions every bit as well as the initial concept. But should the worst happen we can guarantee that we will not stop until everything has been resolved, and are proud to say that we have a 100% satisfaction rating on all post sale issues. In addition, we are able to offer a 15-year guarantee, covering the performance and appearance of our mesh fencing systems. Giving you added confidence when specifying an Alexandra product.
Bespoke solutions require a lead time, but we aim to work with our customers to ensure their needs are met, and a smooth order turnaround is achieved, keeping you informed every step of the way.

A Quality Finish
Hot Dip Galvanising
To get a longer life for your product, following a number of pre-treatment processes to remove grease and impurities, steel surfaces are dipped into fluid zinc alloys, which cover and penetrate all parts of the post and frame. When removed excess zinc runs off and the metalwork is allowed to cool, leaving an attractive and durable finish.
Powder Coating
Powder coating offers an effective and colourful solution. Available in over 60 standard colours and over 1,000 non-standard colours in both the RAL and British Standard ranges, customers are now able to apply a special layer of personalisation to their project. Like the Hot Dip Galvanising, all surfaces undergo rigorous cleaning and decontamination processes to ensure a top quality and long lasting finish.

Innovation
There will always be a place for the old favourites when it comes to commercial perimeter fencing, but there’s also an obligation on our part to make products that meet the demands and needs of tomorrows customers as well as todays.
That’s why we’ve invested heavily in our own in-house research and development team, backed by state of the art computer aided design software to offer a first rate service from conception through to completion and ensure our clients visions become reality.
Some developments you may never see or notice, as they’re done simply to make your life easier. From the style of a post to the way we package finished items for delivery, we scrutinise every element of the process to ensure it meets the highest standards.
We have a reputation for innovation that has seen us consistently champion new products and practices over the years. Many of these we’re aware have become standard solutions for the fencing industry.
Our fencing and security products are designed to comply with British Standards and Building Regulations guaranteeing their performance and integrity.
