Almec Fencing

Almec Fencing: perimeter security and fencing across the UK

Almec Fencing is a UK fencing contractor that designs, supplies and installs perimeter solutions for commercial, industrial and domestic clients. The company operates nationally from its base in Stoke-on-Trent and combines contracting work with its own manufacturing of pressure-impregnated timber fencing.

Formed in 1991, Almec began by serving domestic customers and soon expanded into the industrial and commercial fencing market within a 20-mile radius of Stoke-on-Trent. Early work included chain link, weldmesh and palisade fencing. Over time it built a reputation for constructing ball courts for schools and sports colleges, and more recently has delivered projects for Premier League clubs. Its central location near the motorway network supported the shift to a nationwide service.

Commercial and industrial fencing solutions

The commercial range covers high-security and perimeter products for sites that need controlled access and protection. The company lists the following key solutions:

• Palisade fencing and high-security systems
• Mesh fencing, including anti-climb variants that maintain visibility
• Security-rated fencing compliant with SR1 and SR2
• School safe fencing
• Armco crash barriers
• Site hoarding, including acoustic fencing
• Railing systems and tubular spectator rail systems
• Intrusion detection systems

Almec also supplies a domestic range through its online catalogue, with products such as fence panels, concrete and timber posts, gravel boards, postmix, sleepers, backing rails, feather edge boards, post and panel caps, gates, fence post supports and ground spikes, and picket pails. The site also lists acoustic fencing, bollards and concrete products among its categories.

Accreditations and installation teams

Almec states that it is fully accredited with CHAS, CSCS and SafeContractor, and that its crews are CSCS certified and DBS cleared. Installations are overseen by the company's Contracts Department. The fencing erection teams are trained in all aspects of fence installation and regularly update their health and safety training; the company reports having achieved a number of recognised health and safety accreditations. The sales team provides product selection advice, and field representatives carry out free site inspections for industrial and commercial projects to support accurate quotations.

Manufacturing and supply

Almec runs an extensive manufacturing operation producing pressure-impregnated timber fence panels, particularly close-board, trellis and picket fencing, for both retail and trade customers. It also stocks large quantities of industrial mesh and palisade systems for rapid nationwide delivery and installation, and offers a wider product range through a supplier network across the UK and Europe.
