Fencing for Medical & Veterinary Centres

Ward Fencing provides ColourRail railings, ColourFence panels and ColourGate systems for healthcare and veterinary facilities durable, attractive and virtually maintenance-free.

Key Considerations for Healthcare & Veterinary Fencing

Medical centres, GP surgeries, dental practices and veterinary practices have specific fencing needs that balance security, patient and animal safety, accessibility and the need to feel welcoming rather than institutional. The right fencing creates clear perimeter definition, controls vehicle and pedestrian flow and helps staff, patients and animals feel safe.

  • Welcoming appearance metal railings in appropriate colours create security without feeling threatening to patients or clients.

  • Controlled access gates designed for pedestrian and vehicle flow, with options for lockable access points where required.

  • Animal containment veterinary practices may require solid lower panels or close-bar spacing to prevent small animals escaping from external waiting or recovery areas.

  • Low maintenance healthcare facilities cannot allocate time and resource to ongoing fence treatment; a guaranteed, maintenance-free product reduces burden on estates teams.

  • Durability products that maintain their appearance in high-footfall environments.

  • Fireproof - no combustible material in the fence structure.

  • No horizontal rails - eliminates the main footholds used intruders to climb.

  • 25-year guarantee - you can plan maintenance budgets with confidence.

  • Colour range - available in greens, creams and other colours that feel appropriate in an educational setting.

  • Matching gates - ColourGate products can be specified to meet the height, locking and anti-lift requirements of entrances.
