Perimeter Fence Removal & V-Mesh Security Installation at London Cambridge Properties Owned Falkland Square Shopping Centre, Somerset
Client: London Cambridge Properties
Location: Falkland Square Shopping Centre, Crewkerne, Somerset
Project Scope: Perimeter Fence Removal & V-Mesh Security Installation
Project Overview
UK Facilities Solutions (UKFSL) was appointed by London Cambridge Properties to deliver a comprehensive perimeter upgrade at Falkland Square Shopping Centre. The project involved the removal of outdated fencing, refurbishment of existing metal railings, and installation of a new V-Mesh security fence to improve both site security and visual appeal. The goal was to enhance safety and security while maintaining a professional, well-kept exterior in line with the client’s brand standards.
Scope of Works
The project began with the careful removal of old and worn fencing from the rooftop area, making way for a safer and more modern solution. Once the space was cleared, UKFSL refurbished the existing metal railings — cleaning and treating them to remove rust and prepare for repainting. These railings were then reinforced to make them stronger and ready to support the new fencing.
To protect the metalwork against the elements, multiple layers of specialist coatings were applied, giving the railings a clean, fresh appearance and helping to extend their lifespan. The final step was the installation of a new V-Mesh security fence, fixed securely in place to withstand wind and weather. Every element was carefully sealed and fitted to ensure a professional, long-lasting finish that improves both safety and appearance.
Our Approach
UKFSL’s engineers approached the job methodically, ensuring that every phase was carried out with minimal disruption to the shopping centre’s operations. After the initial strip-out and preparation of the site, they focused on restoring and strengthening the existing metalwork to provide a solid foundation for the new fencing. Surface rust and debris were carefully removed before the team applied a full system of protective coatings designed to increase longevity and reduce future maintenance. Precision installation of the V-Mesh fencing followed, with every component aligned, levelled, and sealed for a robust and weather-resistant finish. By maintaining a clean site and coordinating waste removal throughout, the project was delivered efficiently, on time, and to a high standard of finish.
Key Outcomes
The roof perimeter at Falkland Square Shopping Centre was significantly improved in both security and appearance. The V-Mesh fencing enhances site security while remaining unobtrusive, and the refurbished railings now benefit from rust protection and extended service life. The end result is a safe, secure, and aesthetically pleasing boundary that aligns with the standards of a high-visibility retail environment.
Client Benefits
For London Cambridge Properties, this project delivered more than just improved physical security — it enhanced the visual integrity of Falkland Square Shopping Centre as a customer-facing environment. The removal of deteriorating fencing and installation of smart, uniform V-Mesh panels created a more professional and polished exterior, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to quality and safety. The newly painted railings and robust new perimeter not only protect the site from unauthorised access but also contribute to a positive first impression for visitors, tenants, and customers alike. In a busy retail environment, where presentation reflects directly on the operator’s brand, this kind of proactive maintenance safeguards reputation as much as it does physical assets.
