What H.s.jackson & Son(fencing)limited does

H.S. Jackson & Son (Fencing) Limited, trading as Jacksons Fencing, is a privately held UK manufacturer and installer of perimeter security, gate automation, acoustic barrier, and hostile vehicle mitigation products, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Stowting Common, Ashford, Kent (Company Number 00910291). Its core technology is metal and timber fencing systems — vertical bar railings (Barbican, Sentry, Tri-Guard), welded mesh panels (EuroGuard, 358 Securi-Mesh), LPS 1175 certified ranges from SR1 to SR5 (Trident 4 and Trident 5), Jakoustic acoustic barriers with CE marking for road infrastructure, PAS 68/IWA-14 bollards, road blockers and the Linebacker crash fence, and the proprietary Jakcure 25-year timber treatment process. The company holds the only UK LPCB LPS 1175 SR5 (E10) certification and runs its own CSCS-certified, DBS-cleared installation teams approved by the Independent Safeguarding Authority.

The business operates a dual go-to-market model. Commercial and security sales run through enterprise field sales with dedicated regional fencing managers at three UK fencing centres, targeting architects, specifiers, and contractors via a Specifier Zone, RIBA-accredited CPD presentations, and quote-based tendering. Residential and retail customers are served through a separate e-commerce site (jacksons-fencing.co.uk). Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed; commercial contracts run as multi-year engagements with a 25-year guarantee on steel and timber products and a 25-month guarantee on automation under servicing contracts. An export team handles international projects, with completed work in Australia, Egypt, Algeria, Turkestan, and Kazakhstan, plus a dedicated French commercial website.

Revenue is generated across four streams: security fencing product sales, automated gates and gate automation hardware, nationwide installation services, and custom/project solutions for high-security sites. Customer segments span critical infrastructure, education, healthcare, transport and logistics, utilities, commercial property and retail, housing, and places of worship, with named logos including the British Embassy Kinshasa, London Ambulance Service, NHS hospitals, hyperscale and West Midlands data centres, South Western Railway, Tilbury2 Port, water treatment works, a battery storage facility, an aerospace and defence manufacturer, and McDonald's. The company is family-owned with no external institutional investors disclosed.
