JR Hoarding & Fencing Ltd

What JR Hoarding & Fencing Ltd does

JR Hoarding & Fencing Ltd is a family-owned UK construction services company, founded in 1973 by Jeff Ray as JR Garden Construction and now headquartered at Depot House, Brighton Road, Lower Kingswood, Surrey. The firm specialises in construction site perimeter and security solutions, offering design, supply and erection of timber hoarding, scaffolding hoarding, Dibond aluminium composite hoarding, concrete block hoarding, internal screen hoarding (with 180-degree fishbowl windows) and site entrance gates; it complements these with security fencing, bespoke timber supply, and fit-out services for offices and temporary site welfare. All hoarding designs include wind-loading calculations to satisfy CDM regulations, and timber is sourced from FSC and PEFC certified sustainable forests. The company self-manufactures its concrete kentledge blocks (970 kg standard; 1.7 t gate blocks) to enable bespoke fitting without ground excavation.

The business sells primarily to commercial construction clients — main contractors, demolition firms, property developers, chartered surveyors and project managers — operating across London and the Home Counties. Pricing is quote-based, reflecting custom project scope and specifications, with multi-year contract cadence. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: customers contact the firm by phone (01737 839 100), email, or website form for estimating; a gallery of completed projects on jrhoarding.com and a Twitter feed provide top-of-funnel visibility, while testimonials and an extensive project portfolio (including Buckingham Palace, Harry Potter studios, Tottenham Hotspur stadium, HS2, Westfield and museum work) anchor mid-funnel credibility. The firm holds an unusually dense compliance stack — ISO 9001/14001/18001 (OHSAS), Constructionline, Achilles Building Confidence, SMAS/SSIP, Considerate Constructors Scheme (Bronze 2018), FSC and PEFC — which functions as a precondition for participation in tier-1 contractor supply chains.

Ownership and leadership are concentrated entirely within the Ray family: Managing Director Jeff Ray (founder), Directors Simon Ray, Damian Ray and Danny Ray (each with 15–20+ years of construction industry tenure). The company operates as a private limited company with no external institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no patents, no funding rounds and no disclosed revenue. Customer engagement is relationship-based, with repeat use evidenced over 2–3 year horizons by named accounts such as the Sheehan surveying practice and London Welsh Rugby Club.

Direct peers

• Lochrin Bain: UK manufacturer and supplier of temporary and permanent fencing, including mesh panels for construction sites. Comparable as a UK fencing and perimeter-security product manufacturer serving contractor customers alongside JR's installation-focused model.
• CLD Fencing Systems: UK manufacturer and supplier of temporary and permanent fencing, hoarding, and access-control systems, including mesh panels and acoustic barriers. Closest direct peer to JR Hoarding in terms of temporary hoarding systems for construction sites, though CLD is more product/hire-focused than install-and-service focused.
• Procter Fencing & Contracting: UK fencing and gate contractor providing commercial and high-security perimeter solutions, with relevant overlap to JR's security-fencing offer. Direct peer in the UK fencing contractor market, though JR's stronger focus on construction-site hoarding differentiates scope.
• Armadillo Group: UK provider of hoarding panels, site security solutions, and banner-frame systems for construction sites. Direct peer in temporary hoarding and construction-site boundary solutions, though primarily a product/hire model rather than install-and-supply contractor.
• Bridgeway Construction Services: UK construction services firm offering hoarding, fencing, signage, and site-security solutions for commercial sites. Directly comparable to JR Hoarding in scope of construction-site services, though smaller scale and without JR's kentledge block manufacturing.

Broad incumbents

• Jacksons Fencing: Long-established UK fencing manufacturer and installer offering timber, metal, and security fencing plus gate solutions. Comparable to JR's JR Security Fencing line as a broad incumbent in UK perimeter security, though without JR's specialist hoarding and concrete-block fit capabilities.
• Algeco (Modulaire Group): UK and European provider of modular site welfare and portable buildings, directly comparable to JR's JR Fit Out service. Operates as a broad incumbent with national scale, providing temporary offices and welfare units to the same main-contractor customers JR serves.
• Sunbelt Rentals (formerly A-Plant): Large UK equipment-hire group (former A-Plant) supplying temporary fencing, hoarding, and site welfare equipment for hire to construction clients. Comparable as a national incumbent selling into the same contractor base, with far greater geographic and capital scale than JR.

Others

• Coveris Building & Construction (former British Polythene): UK building and construction materials group involved with protective films, damp-proof membranes, and related site-set-up products. Adjacent supplier into construction-site set-up rather than a direct competitor to JR's hoarding-installation services.

Emerging players

• Oxford Plastics: UK manufacturer of ground protection, trench covers, and site safety products, with overlapping customer base of contractors and developers. Comparable as an adjacent supplier into construction site set-up, intersecting with JR's hoarding and timber materials supply lines.
