AUTOMATIC GATES & BARRIERS
IN LONDON & HERTFORDSHIRE

MG Group is a leading team of commercial automatic gate installers servicing London, Hertfordshire, and the Home Counties. We serve commercial, industrial, and high-end residential sites, designing, manufacturing, and installing bespoke automated perimeter access solutions. As trusted Automatic Gate Installers in London, our team delivers high-performance security infrastructure engineered for total reliability and long-term durability.

With a focus on integrating state-of-the-art access technologies and maintaining strict compliance with safety regulations, all MG Group installations are carried out by fully trained, accredited personnel. Whether you require a heavy-duty cantilever sliding gate for a commercial yard or automated security barriers for a London office development, we deliver end-to-end solutions tailored precisely to your site specifications.

In addition to access control, we provide high-grade Demountable Flood Barriers designed to protect commercial properties, industrial parks, and residential developments from severe surface water and rising river levels. These engineered flood protection systems deploy rapidly when extreme weather threatens your site, creating a robust, watertight seal across wide doorways, entrance gates, and underground car park ramps without permanently altering your building’s external appearance.

Our heavy-duty Demountable Flood Barriers are fabricated from lightweight, high-strength aluminium, making them exceptionally easy to handle, install, and store when not in use.

To provide a complete perimeter management solution, we also manufacture and install high-performance Acoustic Barriers. These noise-attenuating acoustic barriers reduce environmental noise pollution from industrial operations, heavy traffic, and commercial yards. Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while matching your site aesthetics, our Acoustic Barriers deliver effective acoustic attenuation alongside robust physical security.

By combining perimeter access control, Acoustic Barriers, and reliable flood defence measures, we help property managers and business owners safeguard valuable assets against security breaches, environmental noise, and climate risks.

So, get in touch with us to discuss your needs. We tailor automatic gates, acoustic barriers, and perimeter protection systems to your property, so you can rest assured that when you work with MG Group, you’ll get exactly what you need.
